Hi Josh,
Thank you for the question.

I will list the issues you are facing and the probably solutions.

1. Is it possible to stop access to members directory page?

Yes, we can simply check if it is members directory page and not single member page, redirect to somewhere else.

2. The profile page data links to directory, now that would be a problem as BuddyPress files your profile data and links to directory in a searchable format.
The solution would be to either disable this linking completely or put Andrea’s search plugin’s search form on your members directory.

I can help with your question 1 but I lack time to assist you the issue 2. Please let me know if you need code for 1.

Yes, Please use poedit or similar tool that allows changing/creating localization without the need for installing it on your site.

Hi Lawrence,
Thank you for your reply.

We do not have any message button to send message to your circle. The message button being discussed here is the button on individual user card for sending DM to them.

Is that button appearing/not appearing for you?

HI Alex,
I am sorry for the delayed reply.

I have been thinking a solution about it. There is a solution without BuddyPress Friends suggestions pro though. xprofile query are costly(slow), so I am not sure if we should do that or not.

The approach is to first create a xprofile query builder or this field

function bpfscustom_get_multiselect_field_query( $user_id, $field_id, $match_field_id, $compare ) {

	$field_data = xprofile_get_field_data( $field_id, $user_id );

	if ( empty( $field_data ) ) {
		return array();
	}

	if ( ! is_array( $field_data ) ) {
		return array(
			array(
				'field'   => $match_field_id,
				'value'   => $field_data,
				'compare' => $compare,
			)
		);
	}

	$query = array();
	foreach ( $field_data as $datum ) {
		$query[] = array(
			'field'   => $match_field_id,
			'value'   => $datum,
			'compare' => $compare,
		);
	}

	return $query;
}

and then use it in the bp-friend-suggestions-pro-functions.php near line 119

		if ( $rule['field_id'] == ACTUAl_MULTI_SELECT_FIELD_ID ) {
			$queries = bpfscustom_get_multiselect_field_query( $user_id, $rule['field_id'], $rule['match_field_id'], $compare );
			if ( ! empty( $queries ) ) {
				$xp_query = array_merge( $xp_query, $queries );
			}
continue;
		}

You should replace the ACTUAl_MULTI_SELECT_FIELD_ID with the numeric field id for the multi select.

So, the lines in this file which looked like this’

		$xp_query[] = array(
			'field'   => $rule['match_field_id'],
			'value'   => $value,
			'compare' => $compare,
		);

will be

		if ( $rule['field_id'] == ACTUAl_MULTI_SELECT_FIELD_ID ) {
			$queries = bpfscustom_get_multiselect_field_query( $user_id, $rule['field_id'], $rule['match_field_id'], $compare );
			if ( ! empty( $queries ) ) {
				$xp_query = array_merge( $xp_query, $queries );
			}
			continue;
		}

		$xp_query[] = array(
			'field'   => $rule['match_field_id'],
			'value'   => $value,
			'compare' => $compare,
		);

Hope that helps.
