Hello Brajesh,

Thank you very much!

Initially, that worked for the most part. The BP Profile Search developer then made a change:

* I changed 'set' to 'text' in "BuddyPress Xprofile Custom Field Types", file class-bp-profile-search-helper.php, line 77;

Not that you need the following but she also wrote a snippet to convert that field’s list of checkboxes rendered in the search form to a multiselect dropdown:

add_action ('bps_field_before_search_form', 'change_display');
add_action ('bp_ps_field_before_search_form', 'change_display');
function change_display ($f)
{
	if ($f->code == 'field_16' && $f->display == 'checkbox')	// field_16 is your Country field
	{
		$f->display = 'multiselectbox';
	}
}

Thanks again,
Quint

Hello Brajesh,

That’s a valuable plugin. However, setting the field as numeric is not an option in the dropdown. Alphanumeric is and that won’t work when it will eventually be used in a faceted range search for members with a rating between x and y.

Unless I’m missing something….

Hello Brajesh,

Thanks for the info!

This is what I’ve done thus far:

1. Installed BP Profile Search plugin
2. Added the following snippet in WPCodeBox (active everywhere):

<?php 

add_action ('bps_before_search_form', 'bps_enable_select2');
add_action ('bp_ps_before_search_form', 'bps_enable_select2');
function bps_enable_select2 ($F)
{
	wp_enqueue_script ('select2-js', 'https://cdnjs.cloudflare.com/ajax/libs/select2/4.0.13/js/select2.min.js', array ('jquery'));
	wp_enqueue_style ('select2-css', 'https://cdnjs.cloudflare.com/ajax/libs/select2/4.0.13/css/select2.min.css');
?>
	<script>
		jQuery(function ($) {
		//	$('.bps-selectbox select').select2({width: '10em', dropdownAutoWidth: true});
			$('.bps-multiselectbox select').select2({width: '10em', dropdownAutoWidth: true});
		});
	</script>
	
<?php
}

3. Added a “search” form via the BP Profile Search plugin
4. On that form, attempted to add my Country Select field (created in Profiles) but could not find it in the list. In the BuddyPress Xprofile Custom Field Types description, it specified that all the field types were compatible. Maybe not this one?
5. If it were available on the list, then could it be used with Select2?

Objective is to search for members in the Members Directory from multiple countries, at the very least.

Glad to be back!

Item 1. Added the snippet. It works! Thanks!

Item 2. Yes, I would like the metric conversion appended to the feet/inches value. I live in the States, so I really don’t know how you and ROW expresses their height in metric. Whatever makes sense to you or any user of the metric system is the format that should be used. Your call.

Item3. Cool. I think that would be very helpful to every BuddyPress/BuddyBoss user.

Probably in the next two or three days, I will submit a small project to you. I hope you can help.

Cheers,

Quint
