BuddyPress.org

Hi, I’m creating a page where I want to list all members and then let the users filter them by for example location by checking checkboxes.
I created a quick mockup in photoshop of what I’m creating.

I’m working in the members-loop.php and my code works backend, my problem is to connect to front-end. Firstly I have an empty array of locations I want to filter by $locationValg. If I manually add a location, let’s say Oslo (The capital of Norway) to the Array, the loop spits out users wich have set the location to Oslo. So the code itself works. Prior to starting, I heard that you could connect front-end to the back-end by using Ajax and jQuery.
After hours of trying and googling I’m not able to figure this out. Right now I’m just debugging with a button to echo out some words from a PHP function to see if it works, but ultimately I want the users to check the box “Oslo”, and The script add Oslo to my $locationValg array and rerun the script.

This is my members-loop (a bit messy right now after hours of testing). The code is semi-Norwegian and English, so sorry for the confusion.

Any advice for a PHP-Wordpress-Buddypress starter? 🙂
