I apologize for not coming back sooner to say this is solved. Been having lots of computer issues. The reason the other code didn’t work was we were reading from the wrong table. Another table had the info we needed so I swapped it out and here’s what I’m using now. Hopefully this will come in handy for a lot of people.
This goes in the head
<!-- drop down search -->
<SCRIPT LANGUAGE="JavaScript">
function formHandler(form){
var URL = document.form.site.options[document.form.site.selectedIndex].value;
window.location.href = URL;
}
</SCRIPT>
<!-- end drop down search -->And this goes in the body
<!-- drop down search -->
<form name="form">
<select name="site" size=1>
<option value="">Blah Blah</option>
<?php
$field_id = 2; // this should be the id of the
// field you want, see your wp_bp_xprofile_fields
// database table to find it
global $wpdb;
$sql = "SELECT name FROM {$wpdb->base_prefix}bp_xprofile_fields WHERE parent_id = {$field_id} ORDER BY id DESC";
$result = $wpdb->get_col($wpdb->prepare($sql));
foreach($result as $row){
if(strlen($row) > 0){
$values[$row]++;
}
}
foreach($values as $key => $value){
echo "<option value=\"members/?s=$key\">$key</option>";
}
?>
</select>
<input type=button value="Go!" onClick="javascript:formHandler(this)">
</form>
<!-- end drop down search -->Don’t forget to change the number of the field. Thanks for all of your help
I’m happy to hear it helped.
I put an updated version on earlier yesterday (after I finally slept for a few hours). It was nice to be able to cut some steps out vs the alpha 6 version.
This might sound silly but, here’s what I would do (after backing everything up). Leave your bb-config file. Delete everything else in the forums directory. Upload alpha 6. Then, upload bbPress 1. Don’t DELETE alpha 6. Just overwrite it. I’ve been messing with this upgrade for a couple of days now and if I delete/replace, the update doesn’t work. If I overwrite, it does work. Seems as though there’s a file that’s been removed from the new version that buddypress looks for.
If that doesn’t work…..
I’m wondering if your upgrade actually upgraded. The way I do the update is, I rename bb-config to something like bb-config2. Then I replace the files in the forums directory & navigate to /forums. It asks for your database info & then says “oh. There’s already a database. Maybe you want to use the upgrade script” You click the upgrade link and it does a couple changes and says it’s done. Then, I open up the newly created bb-config & (using the OLD bb-config) I put back any of the custom codes that I need such as the cookies & defines.
I hope something in there helps.
LMBO! I wish there were as much that I DID know as the amount I DON’T know. That just happens to be one of the problems that I’ve encountered more times than one. One of those things that always ticks me off cuz I have to switch back, do this, do that, then get my new stuff. LOL
Don’t forget to mark the thread as solved.
