Thank you Gorges, but I already activated the invite anyone. It needs email addresses; what I want is for users to be able to search for other members on multiple criteria and to invite them. With 10.000 members you don’t want your users to have to scroll through the whole list to find someone.
I’m not a developper but with some reasoning I reckon it must be simple to use the profile form. I put a lot of fields there as required and text becomes links as well. You could let a search and invite feed on the profile information.
Nothing like that available?
And how difficult will it be to create a plugin like that?
I found a workaround by making all new members automatically member of a “member directory” group. That way they can see all other members. Unfortunately there’s no search attached which means when you have a lot of members it will be very difficult if not impossible to find somebody. There is a search under “invite to the group” but it’s not working.
I’m sorry, but we tested on several themes. It has nothing to do with the theme; forget I ever mentioned the theme at all.
I’m starting to understand why the search is not working. Apparently only the administrator has access to the members directory (?) Anyone should have access to that, otherwise a profile search doesn’t work I’m afraid.
So I suspect that’s an authority problem.
So no plugins to be able to invite people other than the not working one which says when trying to install that it has not been tested yet for my version of WP?
People can’t invite eachother, because they can’t search eachother and therefore are clueless who else is on the network, furthermore group search isn’t working either, so they’re clueless as well which groups they might be interested in because there’s no list of them.
You really never had anyone who found these problems a limitation?
Please remember that I’m not native English, so if my post sounds offensive that’s not how I mean it. I’m trying to get some help.
