Short answer is you will need multiple plugins as well as some custom code to achieve your requirements. If you do enough research you may find the plugins and some code you can use to help in your endeavor on and off this forum. If you can’t write code or invest the time in doing the research to fulfill your requirements then you will most likely have to hire a developer by posting here:

BP Jobs Board

as well as here:
http://jobs.wordpress.net/
I wouldn’t make the mistake of posting an unpaid job on the latter link because I personally wouldn’t waste my time without being compensated for my work but maybe you may get lucky.

I do offer premium plugins that can help with this aspect and if your interested you can inquire here:

Good luck!

hi @mineo, this is a question to ask on rtMedia support forum.

Here’s a snippet to filter members list based on profile field.

Remove your custom members-loop file first and revert to default one.

The example use field ID 62 with value = public
The field is called Privacy in xProfile and use a selectbox field type who shows 2 options: private and public.

You’ll probably also have to remove, or to conditionnally show, the top navbar, search box, etc in the template (childtheme/buddypress/members/index.php)

Add this snippet to bp-cutom.php.

class BP_Custom_User_Ids {
	private $custom_ids = array();
	public function __construct() {
		$this->custom_ids = $this->get_custom_ids();
		add_action( 'bp_pre_user_query_construct', array( $this, 'custom_members_query' ), 1, 1 );
		add_filter( 'bp_get_total_member_count', array( $this, 'custom_members_count' ), 1, 1 );
	}
	
	private function get_custom_ids() {
		global $wpdb;
		// collection based on an xprofile field
		$custom_ids = $wpdb->get_col("SELECT user_id FROM {$wpdb->prefix}bp_xprofile_data WHERE field_id = 62 AND value = 'Public'");
		return $custom_ids;
	}	
	
	function custom_members_query( $query_array ) {
		$query_array->query_vars['include'] = $this->custom_ids;
	}	
	
	function custom_members_count ( $count ) {
		$new_count = count( $this->custom_ids );
		return $count - $new_count;		
	}
}

function custom_user_ids( ) {
	new BP_Custom_User_Ids ();
}
add_action( 'bp_before_directory_members', 'custom_user_ids' );

This sounds as though you may be using old templates? We removed the old default action of pushing the group create button out into the heading tag in the 2.0.0 release, that change required existing themes to possibly make adjustments if they had perhaps overloaded the bp-functions.php file which had a new set of group create button actions. my memory is hazy on the issue but the trac ticket covering the change is at:

https://buddypress.trac.wordpress.org/ticket/5144

You will need to provide details of your theme as without any detail of your setup it’s difficult to help – as a check try activating one of the WP shipped themes i.e twentyfourteen, does the double entry of the button still happen, if not you know it’s a theme related matter.

See bp_xprofile_get_visibility_levels function

hi @ron-wills,

first of, BuddyPress displays correctly with Hueman theme, even if this theme is not the easiest to use if you’re new to BP…. and Hueman. 😉

Each BP component use his own page, for internaly purpose only and to fit to WP standards. But these component pages shoud only exist, but without any custom content or layout settings from Hueman.

Suggest you read a bit about buddypress and how it works. Eg.

Configure BuddyPress

hi @heddle,

do you use a custom function (in functions.php or bp-custom.php) ?
Theme ? Used plugins ?

Nothing more for the moment 😉

Hi @gabe462,

the members directory shows by default all members.
The search field on this directory let you find a user, and if one is find, BP shows the username linked to this member profile.

The member loop is a core component and cannot be deactivated. But you can remove anything from the directory template.

Why want you go to the directory, which you don’t want to use, if the final result is to see the searched member ? Go directly to this member profile. 😉

You can try to modify the template to simplify it so far as possible and only use the member search on the (ex) directory page.

bp-templates/bp-legacy/buddypress/members/index.php contain the member search field
bp-templates/bp-legacy/buddypress/members/members-loop.php

Copy both directory (starting by /buddypress/ ) and files into your child-theme (to get /your-child-theme/buddypress/members/index.php) and try to remove what you don’t want to see.

Without waranty, i’ve never tested this.

@callumoberholzer BuddyPress profiles have been getting more and more robust.

Member search is something BuddyPress is not very good at though. Plugins such as BP Profile Search offer a partial solution. So if you feel search function is too limited, do feel free to contribute code to make BuddyPress better. Any help is always welcome.

@sooskriszta

thank you for this wishlist ! 😉
The in #4539 related Mediapress is a great feature (still in beta, but promise full).

I installed it yesterday for intense test. 😉

Hi @doremdou

You can disable @-mentions with the BuddyPress No Mentions plugin.
