[Resolved] Code for members?

Hello everyone, I have a little strange problem that I couldn’t solve alone 🙁

I’m creating an online dating communities for a client who asked me to put, in the frontpage, a search for users.

I’ll explain: he wants to distribute tickets with different codes that refer to a user’s profile. Who receives the ticket, go to the website, enter the code and is magically redirected to the page of the mysterious user. I know it sounds strange, but that’s what he wants. ARGH!

Is there a way to create and associate a numerical code (automatically, pleeease) to the page of a user and/or do a search using the user ID?

Thanks a lot (lot lot lot) to those who want to give me some advice, I’m desperate!

Nathalie

[DISCLAIMER: I have no/little experience in design & development in wordpress, so I am learning but thought I comment in effort to be helpful]

I am unsure of the code to search/query results of users but based on he analogy you presented in imputing a # number to show suggested match. I would think is easily possible by echoing out member/user Data id #.

That would be my thought, suggest maybe looking /googling for user meta and how to use them.

Also, check out WP_User_Query

https://codex.wordpress.org/Class_Reference/WP_User_Query

You can do what you need to easily using the search parameters. For example:
```
$args = array(
    'search' => $string,
    'search_columns' => array( 'ID' ),
);
$user_query = new WP_User_Query( $args );
```
Where $string is the user submitted search string i.e. the user ID

Thanks @henry for referencing… I had thought to refer to something but was cautious on my experience; further, replying just via mobile phone.

I would refer to Henry because I have seen his continuous engagement on the buddypress forums. I appreciate Henry
