groups/members/ dropdown filter broken?

[Jonnyauk]

I think there may be a problem with the dropdown menu that filters the display order of members in groups - I have tried it on a couple of local installs, and also checked it out ​http://testbp.org/

When you try to use the filter to order group members (alphabetical, last active, newest registered), ajax-loader.gif kicks in on the navigation, but no re-ordering of the actual list of members happens.

BP1.5-beta-3

As an aside - I should mention that the dropdown menu filter on the members directory does work.

Would someone mind checking to see whether this works in 1.2.9? If it's being caused by what I suspect, it has never worked. I'm not near a computer at the moment so I can't check for myself.

I've been working on BP1.5 for so long that I'd forgotten what it was like! Just done a demo install to check out the issue mentioned - in BP1.2.9 there is no dropdown menu filter on groups/members - this seems to have been introduced in BP1.5.

Thanks for looking.

As I suspected, the sorting was added in 1.5 (r3819). The same problem arose with respect to ajax pagination on group members pages; see #3406. In both cases, the "real" solution will be to rework how the ajax requests work. For BP 1.5, it's too late to be messing with this. I'm going to remove it from the templates for now, and punt this ticket to 1.6 for proper consideration after the 1.5 release.

(In [5115]) Removes AJAX sorting from group member directories for the moment. See #3559

Yup - times too short, we all want 1.5 out in the wild! JS is my weakest area of dev, otherwise I'd pitch-in to fix it - agreed, something to revisit for 1.6;)

Punting to future release, probably 1.7, when we're gonna review all the javascript as part of the theme changes.

I've done some work recently to add the AJAX dropdown functionality into a custom members loop.

Currently, everything depends on the naming of the IDs and CSS classes in certain elements as the JS explicitly relies on this.

Will look to add this back in 1.8.

Tested with the latest code, and it seems this task is no longer valid - sorting works by Newest, Oldest, Group activity and Alphabetical.
