Members pagination and search_term in ajax request from placeholder in other languages

[An-tonio]

Wordpress: 4.0
Buddypress: 2.1.1

In members listing, ajax pagination is not working for other languages.

In ajax post Request I see that search_term is set to placeholder value (in spanish this is "Buscar usuarios..." and when paginate it get no results.

In english it work ok.

I think it can be the same problem with all search/listing/pagination.

Thanks.

Hi An-tonio,

Thanks a lot for your feedback. this is a side effect of r9045. I'm using the placeholder because if javascript is disabled the pagination don't get the search_terms as the field value is empty.

I think we have two ways to solve this :

• keep on using the placeholder to display the value of the search_term when the url contains a s parameter > see 5960.01.patch
• or best IMHO, use the placeholder attribute for the default text bp_get_search_default_text() but use the value if a search was performed > see 5960.02.patch

I don't really understand the root issue with the pagination here, but 5960.01.patch looks like the way to go. The 02 patch seems overcomplicated.

In 9201:

On members directory, make sure the AJAX search request is not using the default placeholder as search terms.

Fixes #5960
