After long hours trying to fix this issue, I present to all who care, a simple way to only include only members with certain profile field values in a loop. I tried assigning roles to certain users through custom profile fields, and then pull only those certain members on specific listing pages.
What I tried first was including an if statement within the loop and only showing the members info of those assigned the specific role. It worked – to a point. The problem came in with pagination where the loop was still recognizing all members that were queried, and creating pages to list them even though those pages were empty since these members did not meet the if condition and therefore were not displayed.
So, I needed a different approach which I present to you here. Place this in your functions.php and you’re good to go. It runs a quick query on all members and returns a comma separated list of member id’s that fit the criteria to give you a list of id’s to include. See example below.
`
/* Include only members that have a specific profile value in a specific profile field in a loop.
* $theMetaValue = Value of field to search for
* $theMetaFielt = Field name to search for Meta Value
* EXAMPLE OF CODE IN ACTION:
* include_by_meta(‘Profile Field Value’, ‘Profile Field Name’), ‘type’ => ‘newest’) )) : ?>
*
*
*

*/function include_by_meta($theMetaValue, $theMetaField) {
$memberArray = array();
if (bp_has_members()) :
while (bp_members()) :
bp_the_member();
$theFieldValue = bp_get_member_profile_data( ‘field=’. $theMetaField );
if ($theFieldValue==$theMetaValue) {
array_push($memberArray, bp_get_member_user_id());
}
endwhile;
endif;$theIncludeString=implode(“,”,$memberArray);
return $theIncludeString;
}
?>
`Hi,
I would like to know how finally i can do that ? The topic have been discussed but not really resolved…. And i really need it. I can’t put a HUUUUUUGE list of city for all around Canada, i need to separate it with provinces, and i really don’t know how i can do that.
Quote:….
Is there any way I can create/download a profile field that lists all the Countries, States/Provinces, Cities???And if you select.. Canada it will only list the Provinces in Canada.
If I need to I will manually type out every single country and every single province, but I just need to know how to go about doing this.
Thanks a lot for your help.
Have a good day !Anthony

I’ve added profile fields programmatically and I populate these with data using that filter. The problem lies in the fact that the function returns false before the filter is applied. The only way to get my filter to be used is to add bogus rows to these fields so it passes the following check..
`if ( !$children = $wpdb->get_results($sql) )
return false;`Is it possible to move the filter before that check and after the query, i have a workaround by inserting rows but its a bit of a pain to add them for every field.
I’m not sure what the procedure is about submitting patches, but if possible I would like to see this changed.
Many Thanx, Patriek.
Hi, i will like to display some profile field at the members profile page, i know i can do that by adding the following code to members-header.php, but how can i put a link, so that if the field is not filled by the member it will just show let say “add your Country” and when click it will just go to the place where he can fill the field
`
Country:`

Either there’s something I seriously don’t understand, or there’s an inconvenient feature in the member search.
If you choose alphabetical order, the search only operates on the name of the member, rather than on all the extended profile fields. You can reproduce the problem by doing a member search on some word that appears in an extended profile field for at least one member, but isn’t in anyone’s name. You will get some members listed. If you change the order to Alphabetical, they will disappear.
This appears to be because on line 243 of bp_core_classes we take only the name record in the profile data table, if the ordering is alphabetical. If the ordering isn’t alphabetical we keep all the records, which is what we want. I think the way round it is to do two separate joins, one to get the extended profile field records in so that they can be searched, and another to provide the term on which to do the ordering.
Is there any way round this, other than modifying the function in the core file on my site (which doesn’t seem a particularly good idea)? I really need the alphabetical ordering, as the others are pretty meaningless to most of the users of my site.
Also, is this a known inconvenient feature? Or is it a bug, in which case I should report it?
Hi,
I would like to create 150+ profile fields for users (resume type application). In addition I intend to use Profile search plugin (http://buddypress.org/community/groups/bp-profile-search/)
Can anyone advice on how efficient this is going to be and how well this will scale with growing users.
I need to super user search feature.Does anyone have any other way I can implement this?
Thanks.
