Does anyone know how to filter all member lists in Buddypress to only show users with the role of author or higher.

I do not want subscriber level users to show up in the member lists or the count

I have looked at the bp_has_members function and can not find a way to do it. I have also looked all over various filters available and I am stumped.

I have written the following code:
`
add_filter( ‘bp_core_get_paged_users_sql’, ‘bp_filter_only_members’ , 1, 9 );
add_filter( ‘bp_core_get_total_users_sql’, ‘bp_filter_only_members’ , 1, 9 );

function bp_filter_only_members($sql, $object) {
$sql = str_replace(‘FROM’ , “,(SELECT meta_value FROM wp_usermeta WHERE meta_key = ‘wp_user_level’ AND user_id = u.ID) AS user_level FROM” , $sql ) ;
$sql = str_replace(‘ORDER BY’ , “HAVING user_level > 1 ORDER BY” , $sql) ;
return $sql;
}
`
The issue I am having is that the count is coming back wrong.

Can anyone think of a better way than going directly to the SQL. I have thought about meta values and some other hacky ways of doing this,

can anyone help me out on this,

thanks,

Andrew

I am having the exact same issue. I tried modifying bp_has_members but I can’t figure out how to integrate with bp_ajax_querystring( ‘members’).
`<?php

$twamembers = get_users(‘role=s2member_level1&fields=ID’);
$admin = get_users(‘role=administrator&fields=ID’);
$role_ids=array_merge($twamembers,$admin);
$value=implode(‘,’,$role_ids);

if ( bp_has_members(‘type=alphabetical&include=’.$value) ) : ?>`
The above code returns the members I want in the member directory, but then I cannot search the directory. Does anyone know how to either search the member directory without the ajax or integrate the above with the ajax so they work together?
