BuddyPress.org

I have a code / plugin which derivates a list of UserIDs by some logic which I want to display in a separate page in a sort of members loop.

I tried similarly to this code, setting the args and than loading the template, it simply does not display the members:

    $members_args = array(
			'include'         => array(list of user ids here ... 1, 13, 25, 126, ...),
			'exclude'         => array(bp_loggedin_user_id()),
			'per_page'        => $max_members,
			'max'             => $max_members,
			'populate_extras' => true,
			'search_terms'    => false,
		);
        
	echo '<div id="buddypress" class="buddypress-wrap bp-dir-hori-nav bp-shortcode-wrap">';
	echo '<div class="members">';
	echo '<div class="subnav-filters filters no-ajax" id="subnav-filters">';
	bp_get_template_part( 'common/filters/grid-filters' );
	echo '</div>';
	echo '<div class="screen-content members-directory-content">';

	echo '<div id="members-dir-list" class="members dir-list">';

    buddypress()->current_member_type = "my separate loop";
    buddypress()->current_component   = 'members';
    buddypress()->is_directory        = true;

	// Get a BuddyPress members-loop template part for display in a theme.
	bp_get_template_part( 'members/members-loop' );

	echo '</div>';
	echo '</div>';
	echo '</div>';

I also tried instead to modify the query args like so instead of setting $members_args, but this does not work neither:

    $include = array(1, 13, 25, 126, ...); # list of user IDs to show
    add_filter ('bp_ajax_querystring', 'modify_directory', 20, 2);
    function modify_directory ($query_string, $object)
    {
        if ($object != 'members')  return $query_string;

        if (!empty ($query_string))  
            $query_string .= '&';

        $query_string .= 'include='. implode(',', $include).'&exclude='.bp_loggedin_user_id();
        return $query_string;
    } 

Any idea?
