Searching custom profile fields

  • Hi, I was directed to your plugin as I’ve been trying to create something very similar. Can I ask a question that’s largely aimed at the author. What method does your plugin use to query the profile fields? I got as far as realizing that ‘BP_User_Query’ was probably going to be my best friend – but being new to it all wasn’t able to get any further than that.

    I only ask because typically I like to either code stuff from scratch to make sure there’s no bloat – or at least understand the mechanisms behind the plugins I use.

    You don’t have to answer if you don’t feel it’s appropriate, but I thought you’d be the best person to ask!

    Thanks

    The current BP Profile Search uses the class BP_User_Query, but that class can’t search individual profile fields.

    So the plugin does the search itself, and then passes the result set to BP_User_Query. Of course you can see all the details in the plugin source code.

    Ah I see. Thanks for the info. I have downloaded the plugin and will take a look.

    Thanks again ??
