Thank you for your feedback, I didn’t realize that BP 1.5 changed the required field behaviour.

I’ll look into this over the coming holidays. Should you solve this issue before I do, I’ll happily accept a patch!

Having a big issue with this plugin now that required field behaviour in BP has changed.

No idea why BP changed this behaviour but when you set a field to required that offers a drop down to select from, the first option in the dropdown is selected as default.

The fields no longer has a ——— option at the top, which would ommit it from a search, it MAKES YOU select an answer from the dropdown.

This means that the first option is ALWAYS selected on the search form, which means if you have multiple required fields, a search is impossible as the first option in ALL fields is selected by default.

This way you can’t search by just one field, as all have to be selected.

I know this sounds confusing, but if you set up some profile field dropdowns and make them required you’ll see instantly what I mean.

Such a shame, as BP’s behaviour makes this plugin unusable when you have required fields.

Anything that could be done?

Thanks so much for your time!

Thanks. Managed to change all the ‘ ” and –
It works now!

Please make sure you don’t copy and paste the code, you’ll need to retype it, or at least retype the quote characters (both single and double quotes).

Parse error: syntax error, unexpected T_STRING in /wp-content/plugins/bp-profile-search/bps-functions.php on line 139

The Line 139 it is complaining about is “$from1 = $year – $value;”

That’s great! Thank you very much for this patch, I’ll add it to the plugin as soon as possible.

First off all, thank you for this plugin. I found exactly what I want to do with it.

I found an issue with wordpress 3.2.1 and buddypress 1.5.1.

By default in buddypress, the age extented profile field is a datebox which store a date in mysql date format (YYYY-MM-DD HH-MM-SS) in mysql database.

The problem is that the search by range date given by BP profile search do a querie with timestamp…

I have made some change wich can be include in the next release if someone else have the same issue :

case ‘datebox’:
if ($id != $bps_options['agerange']) continue;

$time = time ();
$day = date (“j”, $time);
$month = date (“n”, $time);
$year = date (“Y”, $time);
$from1 = $year – $value;
$to1 = $year – $to -1;
$min = “$to1-$month-$day”;
$max = “$from1-$month-$day”;

$sql = “SELECT user_id from {$bp->profile->table_name_data}”;
$sql .= ” WHERE field_id = $id AND value >= ‘$min’ AND value <= '$max'";
break;
}

Thanks

Hello Jason,

I am looking to do the exact same thing here, did you figure out how to do this? If so, what changes were made?

Thanks in advance.

Here is my index.php in the directory listed in the instructions.

<a href="”><?php printf( __( 'All Members %s’, ‘buddypress’ ), bp_get_total_member_count() ); ?>

<a href="”><?php printf( __( 'My Friends %s’, ‘buddypress’ ), bp_get_total_friend_count( bp_loggedin_user_id() ) ); ?>
