thanks @DJPaul. Will take your word. I still doubt if the search will be efficiently. I want to have a backup plan in case going forward this slows down the search.

Thanks.

@Alan, or can someone please help me look at this code to know if something is wrong, have tried it and everything seems ok if the member did not add the “country field” as it shows the link and take you to the edit page, but immediately you input the field “Country” e.g “UK” and save, it breaks both Admin bar and the Sidebar.

Thank you Gorges, but I already activated the invite anyone. It needs email addresses; what I want is for users to be able to search for other members on multiple criteria and to invite them. With 10.000 members you don’t want your users to have to scroll through the whole list to find someone.

I’m not a developper but with some reasoning I reckon it must be simple to use the profile form. I put a lot of fields there as required and text becomes links as well. You could let a search and invite feed on the profile information.
Nothing like that available?
And how difficult will it be to create a plugin like that?

@Alan, i will try it and if i run into any problem , i will let you know.

I think it could be achieved by adding an empty checking which i have no clue. i think something loke “if empty return” could do.

bounce. Any thoughts?

On this same vein, can I make free members get a different registration form. Lets say with just the “base” profile fields to fill out for my records?

Yes, the ordering should be on name. But it should search on the other fields, surely? The way it does when you order by recently active, say?

Currently (straight out of the box default theme) it applies the search terms to all the extended profile fields if you order by anything other than alphabetical. If you order by alphabetical, it applies the search terms to the name only.

So if you keep the same search terms, but choose a different ordering, you get different members showing. This is counter intuitive, to say the least.

???????

any replay?

Thanks Paul – that works great.

You mean on all fields? I don’t think it would hurt anything…

@djpaul
That did the trick of adding rel=”me” – but now none of the other profile fields show.

Hi,

thanks for your reply! I installed that plugin and found it quite confusing. So it did’nt work immediately; I’ll have to spent some time with it this evening.

Alright, thank you!

I hate to bump, but…any ideas?

As a work-around, I wonder if I could use this plugin https://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/buddypress-xprofiles-acl/ to assign roles based on the profile field answer.

Then I could more easily show different sidebars depending on roles.

Not the cleanest way to do it. Has anyone else had trouble with checkboxes?

@pcwriter @johnjamesjacoby
Yup. Bug is definitely still there. Nice find!
