Feature request: Hide certain members

    To me it seems odd, that site administrators are visible to other users. At my site I have two members named “Admin” and “Forum Admin”, Their roles goes without saying.

    But all my other members are regular users with regular names. Therefore it bothers me, that these two accounts show up in the members directory and the “Who’s online” widget.

    I would very much like the possibility to hide certain members from the directory, site wide activity and widgets, so that they can be sort of “silent watchers”.

    Any body else who’d like this feature

    Change the user_status value in the wp_users table for those users to something like 99 and they will be hidden. That’s one somewhat hacky way of hiding them in the frontend.

    My solution is to modify members-loop.php (I’m using template pack)

      <?php while ( bp_members() ) : bp_the_member();
      $exclude_ids = array(1,3); /* member ids to exclude from listing */
      if (!in_array(bp_get_member_user_id(), $exclude_ids)) {
      ?>

    `

      <?php while ( bp_members() ) : bp_the_member();
      $exclude_ids = array(1,3); /* member ids to exclude from listing */
      if (!in_array(bp_get_member_user_id(), $exclude_ids)) {
      ?>`

    this should work for excluding all super admins:

    `

      <?php while ( bp_members() ) : bp_the_member();
      if( !in_array( bp_get_member_user_login(), get_super_admins() ) ) {
      ?>`

    Parse error: syntax error, unexpected T_ENDWHILE in /home/domain/public_html/wp-content/plugins/buddypress/bp-themes/bp-default/members/members-loop.php on line 68

    on line 68 there is

    I don’t know how to get it right here. Does somebody know solution to this?
