Hello,

How could I make a custom Members Directory in a new template with members that have chosen a specific value of an xprofile field?

Here is what I have done. I have created a new template members-loop-london.php (copy of members-loop.php) in the members folder and I would like to display there only members that have chosen at the xprofile field City the value London. Then according to this link about “bp_parse_args()” https://buddypress.trac.wordpress.org/browser/tags/2.2.1/src/bp-members/bp-members-template.php#L461 I added in the template the function:

function mine_bp_has_members( $args = '' ) {
	        global $members_template;
	
        // Default user ID
        $user_id = 0;
	
	       
	        $r = bp_parse_args( $args, array(
	                
	                'search_terms'    => 'London',     // Pass search_terms to filter users by their profile data
	
	        ), 'has_members' );

	        // Pass a filter if ?s= is set.
	        if ( is_null( $r['search_terms'] ) ) {
	                if ( !empty( $_REQUEST['s'] ) ) {
	                        $r['search_terms'] = $_REQUEST['s'];
	                } else {
	                        $r['search_terms'] = false;
	                }
	        }
	
	     
	        // Query for members and populate $members_template global
	        $members_template = new BP_Core_Members_Template(
	               
	                $r['search_terms'],
	               
	        );
	
	   
	        return apply_filters( 'mine_bp_has_members', $members_template->has_members(), $members_template );     
}

but nothing changed. Still my custom directory was showing all the members of website..What am I doing wrong?
