Paginating queries

Making BP Profile Search work with custom member pages could be an interesting new feature, and I plan to explore it.

If you are interested, I could send you a beta version to test. My address is andrea AT dontdream.it

By the way, how did you make the search results appear in your custom page?

Yes I would be delighted to test the beta version. Please send it to me.

I can’t get your email address to work – is it

andrea AT dontdream.it

or

andreaATdontdream.it

or

andrea_AT_dontdream.it

??? None of them works.

I created a template for the custom page based on the index.php file of the buddypress members directory. In the template I call a copy of the “members/members-loop” part template. I hooked the plugin search in with <?php do_action ('bp_profile_search_form'); ?> in the template.

Hi Bis,

Sorry, I didn’t specify you had to replace the ‘ AT ‘ part with a ‘@’.

I did get your message anyway, via the Contact Form on my site, and I’ll send you my beta version.

Thanks for your support Andrea works great now ??

To all the other interested readers: the solution that Bis and I (but mostly Bis) devised works for that installation only. I plan to release a general solution in one of the future BP Profile Search versions.

i don’t know if this will help anyone, but we use this in our members-loop.php and it works very nicely.

/* My Custom Member Query to order alphabetical by default */
function my_query_filter_new ( $query_string ) {
    $query_string .= '&per_page=36&type=alphabetical';
    return $query_string;
}
add_filter( 'bp_ajax_querystring', 'my_query_filter_new' );

i’m afraid just now i cannot find the credit for where i got that little snipped… but will find and post (and add in to our code!).
