Hi, this is a question for a BP core developper…

I’m trying to understand how the ajax functions are working in BP 1.2.

There is the JS function

bp_filter_request( type, filter, id, target, page, search_terms, extras )

(I think the “extra” parameter was added recently by Andy when I told him that I should be able to add extra variables to that function)

First, could someone explain me what exactly the TYPE and FILTER params must be used for ?

FILTER is to order the results(?), what is TYPE ?

Well; I’m building a classifieds component.

I have 3 more important parameters that I should be able to pass to the function : “status”,”action” and “categories”.

I suppose that I should pass them as the “extra” parameter.

My idea was to have an array

var extras = new Array(status,action,categories);

but when I pass that array to bp_filter_request; it keeps only the last key of my array.

Is that forbidden to pass arrays as a parameter in JS ?

So; my question is : Is that the right way to do that;

-if yes, why does it only pass the last key of the array

-if not, what would be the right way to pass those additionnal parameters to the ajax function ? Or have I to build a custom function ?

thanks A LOT, i’m stuck on this since hours.

+ there is a JS error with bp_filter_request, I made a ticket some days ago but it does not seems to be resolved
