Search Member / Profile fields by URL?

  • @perywinkle

    Participant

    I’m working on a member directory.
    I’m interested in creating a search that queries ONLY a certain field ‘State’ and value ‘Idaho’.
    I’m wondering if I can pass this to the search via the url?
    Ex.
    /members/s?field=State&value=Idaho

    A search for Idaho shows the members in Idaho,
    but it also displays anyone that has entered ‘Idaho’ in their profile.
    I need to develop a more rigid search based on the field ‘State’.

    The other option I’ve been toying with is creating the State values: as Idaho_state ( more specific search term )
    Then display state as “Idaho” ( in the profile ) with some php:
    if value “Idaho – ID”
    echo “Idaho”

    i’m looking for the same things to do with my site.
    did you find a solution for that?

    I’d approach this a different way –

    something like:
    `
    $match_ids = $wpdb->get_var( “SELECT user_id FROM wp_bp_xprofile_data WHERE field_id = [whatever the field_id is for State] AND value = [whatever value you want to find] “);
    `

    $match_ids will be a simple array.
    So loop thru the array and create a comma separated string out of the ids.
    Then pass the string to bp_has_members() using ‘include’

    something like
    `
    //$get_these_members is the id string you created
    $get_these_members = ‘include=’ . substr($get_these_members, 0, -1); //trim the last comma

    if ( bp_has_members( $get_these_members ) )
    `

    That way you could search for any value on any profile field.
    Your approach might work, but… yikes.

    hi thanks @shanebp i am really biggner for my self i did what you said but matter is when i tried but never got result kindly check my code tell me i already spend 4 days.

    <?php
    global $wpdb, $bp;
    $result = $wpdb->get_results(“SELECT user_id FROM wp_bp_xprofile_data WHERE value = ‘$_POST[language]’ OR value = ‘$_POST[budget]’ OR value = ‘$_POST[style]’LIMIT 0 , 30”);
    print_r($result);
    $result = array();
    //$values = maybe_unserialize($result);
    //echo var_dump( maybe_unserialize( $result ) );
    //$values = $result;
    //$value = bp_unserialize_profile_user_id( $values );
    //$values = implode( “, “, $value);
    //echo $values;
    //print_r($values);
    //so you have to ‘manually’ unserialize them
    foreach($result as $user_id=>%d)
    {
    echo “Key=” . $user_id . “, Value=” . %d;
    echo “<br>”;
    }
    //$values_str = implode( ‘,’, $getty );
    //print_r($values_str);

    //)

    echo $get_these_members;
    $get_these_members = ‘include=’ . substr($get_these_members, 0, -1);

    ?>
