Description

Hi, I think you should add filters to the queries done by function get_users() :

eg. with my plugin bp-real-names :

when you search a user by "word", the core query looks like :

SELECT COUNT(DISTINCT u.ID) FROM wp_users u LEFT JOIN wp_usermeta um ON um.user_id = u.ID LEFT JOIN wp_bp_xprofile_data pd ON u.ID = pd.user_id WHERE u.spam = 0 AND u.deleted = 0 AND u.user_status = 0 AND pd.field_id = 1 AND pd.value LIKE '%%admin%%' ORDER BY pd.value ASC

but I need to be able to change this to

SELECT COUNT(DISTINCT u.ID) FROM wp_users u LEFT JOIN wp_usermeta um ON um.user_id = u.ID LEFT JOIN wp_bp_xprofile_data pd ON u.ID = pd.user_id WHERE u.spam = 0 AND u.deleted = 0 AND u.user_status = 0 AND pd.field_id = 4 AND pd.value LIKE '%%Smith%%' ORDER BY pd.value ASC

This is not possible actually as I see...

Not sure if filtering the Sql statement itself is the best way to do this.

Then have you an idea of how I could to this ?

I'm not going to filter queries since this is outside of the scope of the API. If you start letting plugins filter queries then it's going to get messy to provide compatibility moving forwards. You need to work at a higher level than this. I'm open to suggestions.

do_action on the result of this query, passed by reference? It's called in a few places so it would be better to have such a thing in this function.

#5 @DJPaul

Or parameters to the various loops doing the same sort of thing?

#6 @grosbouff

Or maybe a filter on the pd.field id to search on ?

Anyway, I think this is an important thing !

#7 @grosbouff

I thought a little about this and i think that the good solution would be to filter an array with the field names & field values to check.

$datas_to_get = apply_filters('bp_core_xprofile_fields_to_get',array([1]=>'%%admin%%'));

or something like this...

  • Keywords has-patch added

get_users is the only query that doesn't have a filter on it. Patch attached with possible addition of filters.

This is a defect. All other "loop" queries in the same class are filtered.

Andy says that filtering this query is a no go.

I just had an idea about how to solve this member sorting issue. Its not complete but wanted to get my thoughts out there so maybe someone can run with it.

Instead of trying to create a complicated filtering system to allow developers to control the query, why not just have a dedicated xprofile field in the db table that the query sorts on, the contents of which are filterable when a record is saved.

For instance the query might always sort on the xprofile field 'OrderBy'. The contents of this field for each member will be written every time the profile data is saved, but passed through a filter so the developer can supply whatever string they want. This allows them to control the sort order of that particular member without touching the query.

This idea needs refining, but there might be something there.
