Hide Buddypress Profile based on Admin Field Value

    Issue
    I work with trade associations and we want a simple way of hiding profile displays for members’ whose dues aren’t paid.

    We’re hoping not to run through a third party plugin. This is both to cut costs and to limit complexity for our volunteer-led organization. (handling multiple plugins will make the site less easy for the non-technical volunteers to maintain).

    Questions

    • Is there plugin to hide a profile based on an Admin-field value?
      • (i.e. “Paid Dues?” with a boolean value like 0 or 1)
    • If not, is there an easy way to prevent a profile from displaying through scripting?

    You need to state which versions of WP & BP you use.

    You want to ‘hide’ the profile page for a member who hasn’t paid their dues?
    What should happen if that page is accessed by that member or another member?
    Redirect? Custom message page ?

    If ‘paid dues’ is a boolean, then it’s easy to write a function.
    Where is that boolean stored?

    Does that member still appear on the Members page? In the Activity stream?

    iow. you need to be more specific about the behaviour that you want.

    WP Version: 3.5.1
    BuddyPress: 1.7.2

    Either redirect to a listing of all active members or display an error page would be fine, (i.e. “This member is not currently an active member.”)

    If ‘paid dues’ is a boolean, then it’s easy to write a function.
    Where is that boolean stored?

    It would be stored in their profile as an Admin-editable field, per the original post.

    Does that member still appear on the Members page? In the Activity stream?

    No to both. Hidden users would be able to login and update information but their profile wouldn’t be public-facing, just them and the admins.

    This would be useful as we have staggered dues, allowing profiles to turn off/on.

    While very doable, this will require custom coding.
