Resetting a has_members query

    Hey BP community,

    I built myself a handy little “Who’s Online” widget that displays the number of current active members and displays up to 10 names of current browsers in my footer.

    The only issue I have with it is on any page that already uses a bp_has_members() loop, the arguments of the main loop override my Who’s Online listing, causing it to repeat the same list of users.

    I know with a WordPress posts loop I can use wp_reset_query() to destroy any existing queries to use multiple loops on a page. Is there a buddypress equivalent function for has_members()?

    Thanks!
    Andrew

    Hi,

    sorry to ask that, but why don’t you use the built in BP widget Who’s online ?
    for inspiration, see how it is built in bp-core-widget.php:124
    You can also use bp-skeleton to built your own widget on a proper maner.

    I had built some functionality into my widget which the stock BP who’s online didn’t incorporate. My code is actually pretty similar to the stock widgets in bp-core-widget, but yet I run into this issue where any other has_members query contaminates the contents of my widget. There must be some trick that I’m missing to initiate a has_members query that resets any pre-existing query…
