Hi Brajesh,
First of all thanks for the member type generator plugin, it helped me creating the member types i needed.
I am a php/buddypress n00b and I am stuck with something.
The case is as follows:
1) I have created 3 member_types (teacher / student / parent )
2) I have an array (csv) of userswhat i am looking to accomplish is to loop the ID’s and get as result the count and array of user ID’s for each membertype
so e.g.
4 teachers, ID’s 1,2,3,4
5 students, ID’s 5,6,7,8,9
2 parents, ID’s 10,11Also i was wondering if it is possible to set a default member type, so after registration users will always be ‘ student’ unless the admin changes it to teacher or parent

Hi,
Welcome to BuddyDev support forum.1. Do you need ids or just the count? If you need just the count here is a function with example to do that
function buddydev_get_member_types_count( ) { $member_types = get_terms( 'bp_member_type', array( 'fields' => 'all', 'hide_empty' => false )); if( ! $member_types ) { return array(); } $counts = array(); foreach ( $member_types as $member_type ) { $counts[ $member_type->slug] = $member_type->count; } return $counts; }You can put the above code in your bp-custom.php or theme’s functions.php.
And use the following code to show the counts
//example usage in your file $counts = buddydev_get_member_types_count(); echo "Total students:" . $counts['student'];Please do note, if you are on multisite, this code will only work on main site.
About settings the default member type, yes.
add_action( 'bp_core_activated_user', 'buddydev_set_default_member_type', 1 );//high priority function buddydev_set_default_member_type( $user_id ) { bp_set_member_type( $user_id, 'student' ); }Please put that code in your bp-custom.php and that should take care of the default assignment.
Hope that helps.

Hi Brajesh,
Thanks, i will give it a try. It will surely be a help!
As per my openings post, I am also after getting the user ID’s as i want to use them in a memberloop in a nav tab.
Thanks so far for the great help! It is really appreciated!

Hi Brajesh,
I have tested the (counting) code and it seems to be working. However, it returns a total count of all members.
What was after is to get the results for a specific array of user ID’s, and breakdown this array:
E.g.
$res2 = array(1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9,10,11)
4 teachers, ID’s 1,2,3,4
5 students, ID’s 5,6,7,8,9
2 parents, ID’s 10,11so i need a way to tell your function to only check the ID’s as in $res2

Hi eGuard,
Here is an example functionfunction buddydev_custom_get_users_by_member_types( $ids = array() ) { $ids = wp_parse_id_list( $ids ); if( ! $ids ) { return ; } $args = array( 'user_ids' => $ids, 'populate_extras' => true, //it will fetch names etc and cache member types ); $user_query = new BP_User_Query( $args ); $users = $user_query->results; $user_by_types = array();//multidimensional assay //an Arr of WP_User objects with some added details like last_activity, latest_update etc foreach ( $users as $user ) { $member_type = bp_get_member_type( $user->ID ); if( ! $member_type ) { continue; } $user_by_types[$member_type][] = $user->ID; } print_r( $user_by_types ); }And you ca call it like this
<?php buddydev_custom_get_users_by_member_types( '1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8');?>Hope that helps you.

Hi Brajesh,
Thanks for your guidance.
Based on your code I managed to do what i looked to accomplish.
Thanks for the great support! - Level: InitiatedPosts: 16
Sorry,
one last question in regards to this subject.
Based on your example, i have created a function where i can specify the member type
function get_user_id_by_member_types( $ids = array(), $type ){ $ids = wp_parse_id_list( $ids ); if( ! $ids ) { return ; } $args = array( 'user_ids' => $ids, 'populate_extras' => true, //it will fetch names etc and cache member types ); $user_query = new BP_User_Query( $args ); $users = $user_query->results; $user_by_types = array();//multidimensional array //an Arr of WP_User objects with some added details like last_activity, latest_update etc foreach ( $users as $user ) { $member_type = bp_get_member_type( $user->ID ); if( ! $member_type ) { continue; } $user_by_types[$member_type][] = $user->ID; } // print_r( $user_by_types ); $type_result = $user_by_types[$type]; //print_r ($type_result); $csv = implode( ',' , $type_result ); echo $csv; }It echo’s a comma seperated list of ID’s for the type.
Your member type generator plugin can also have a member directory for each member type.
What i would like to do is to have a member directory (just like yours) in a navigation tab in the displayed user profile.So i have created a nav tab called “students”, and as content of the nav tab i would like to have the directory of all users in the array $csv of the type students as defined in $type.
I know where to put the content code for this tab, but i don’t know how to query the memberloop for both the $type (in this case students) and the ID’s in $csv.
Could you give me a pointer in the right direction?
