Tagged: Create activity search form
Hi buddydev
The default search form doesn’t display
on my buddypress or theme.members and group pages have there own
search forms , but there is nothing for activity.I looked at some of your older plugs.
–bp searchable activity–
That applies to a universal form with dropdown
that isn’t there.–global unified search– discontinued
it wouldn’t create a buddypress search page option..Do you have some theme functions code that will put
a search form on the activity page ?Or that could create a search page with a short code ?
Thank you

Hello Ravi
Well, both buddypress and theme are old ,
legacy templet pack, the theme is full width primer.The theme has been heavily modified and runs on a
large child sheet activated by theme functions code.buddypress is pre-Nouveau with a lot of plugs and
theme function tweeks. There are core file mods for
small things like number of posts or members
per page.The theme is responsive / adjust to mobile
devices. It might be better to some how create a
short-code search page because I don’t know
what a search form will do to the responsive
activity page.No Youzify
Anything you can think of would be greatly
appreciated.Thanks
Sunnybuddy.Hello Sunnybuddy,
Thank you for the acknowledgement. As you said you are using the older BuddyPress which is why there is no activity search form in the latest version you can find it on the Activity directory page. But to check whether activity search is supported on your setup just try to add “?s=text-to-search” with the URL on the directory page and check whether it shows results or not. If it shows the expected result you can create a search form using HTML and make it searchable.
Please give it a try.
Regards

Is there an easy php that will create the same search
form thats on the groups / members page?
because that would work with the responsive theme !If not,
If html is used on a new WP page to create the form,
were and how are the posts rendered ?either way I can’t write that code.
could you help with that?Thank you

Hello Sunny,
Thank you for the acknowledgment. Please place the following code in the “bp-custom.php” file or your active theme “functions.php” file.
add_shortcode( 'bp-activity-search-form', function ( $atts ) { if ( ! function_exists( 'bp_get_activity_directory_permalink' ) ) { return ''; } $atts = shortcode_atts( array( 'label' => __( 'Search Activities', 'bp-custom' ), 'btn_label' => __( 'Search', 'bp-custom' ), ), $atts ); ob_start(); ?> <div class="bp-activity-search-form"> <?php if ( $atts['label'] ) : ?> <h4><?php echo esc_html( $atts['label'] ); ?></h4> <?php endif; ?> <form action="<?php echo esc_url( bp_get_activity_directory_permalink() ); ?>" method="get"> <input type="text" name="s"> <input type="submit" class="button" value="<?php echo esc_attr( $atts['btn_label'] ); ?>"> </form> </div> <?php return ob_get_clean(); } );
Please use the shortcode “[bp-activity-search-form]”. It only works with the activity directory page. Please give it a try and let me know.

RaviHey Ravi
That code works ! ! ! Thank You. Thanks again ! !
I tried the shortcode on the WP page created for the
buddypress activity page. the form doesn’t appear
on the activity page.So I made a new WP page. The short code works
there and forwards to the activity page with the
results.Can the search form appear on the
activity page somehow ?
If it was on top of the other content and
pushed it down on the page the resposive
theme would work.
Can code be transferred from a newer
buddypress and applied to a legacy
buddypress?Sunnybuddy
HI ravi
Maybe an easy way to put the search form only
on the activity page would be to use the WP
header.This worked but the form appears on every
page<?php
echo do_shortcode(‘[bp-activity-search-form]’); ?>This will keep a shortcode function on the homepage
<?php
echo do_shortcode(“[bp-activity-search-form restrict_to=home]”);
?>Could you help me specify a page ID number ?
I tried some things, they didn’t work.
Thank You.
SunnyHi Ravi
Thanks for all your great help !
Tried this , didn’t work
<?php
echo do_shortcode(‘[bp_is_activity_directory]’); ?>Changed theme functions code from
this
add_shortcode( ‘bp-activity-search-form’, function ( $atts ) {
to this
add_shortcode( ‘bp_is_activity_directory’, function ( $atts ) {
—————–
Then used shortcode
<?php
echo do_shortcode(‘[bp_is_activity_directory]’); ?>—————–
That made the form but didn’t restrict it to the Activity Page.
That’s all I can do.
How do I use this ?
‘bp_is_activity_directory’ function
Thank you
Sunny
