Search field update needed after translation

This happens because the way the words men and woman are translated in your language under different circumstances. The solution is easy, just be sure you find a common wording for your search field values so that they can be identical ( Kobiety/Kobietą and Mężczyzną/Mężczyzny).

Let me know how it works.

Can you please setup a test place with this translations and with some test users so we can give a look at your site and see if we can come up with a quickly fix ?

Don’t forget to provide us ftp/wpadmin accounts.

Looking forward.

Sure, just let us know when you have more news about it.

Hi,

Plugins translation files should reside under the following path: “wp-content/languages/plugins/buddypress-es_ES.mo”.

I’ll keep you updated how things are going on your other issue.

Looking forward

Here is the code which will help you manipulate the field search queries, you need to add it into the functions.php file of your theme

function kleo_bp_field_query_custom($sql, $field_id, $field_value){
    if( $field_id == '1'){ // I am a - field id
        $extra_sql = false;
        if( $field_value == 'Mężczyzna'){
            $extra_sql = 'Mężczyzny';
        }
        if( $field_value == 'Kobietą'){
            $extra_sql = 'Kobiety';
        }
        if( $extra_sql ){
            $extra_sql = " OR value LIKE '%".esc_sql($extra_sql)."%'";
        }
        $sql = str_replace("value LIKE '%".esc_sql($field_value)."%'", "value LIKE '%".esc_sql($field_value)."%'" . $extra_sql , $sql);
    }
    if( $field_id == '6'){ // Looking for - field id
        $extra_sql = false;
        if( $field_value == 'Mężczyzny'){
            $extra_sql = 'Mężczyzną';
        }
        if( $field_value == 'Kobiety'){
            $extra_sql = 'Kobietą';
        }
        if( $extra_sql ){
            $extra_sql = " OR value LIKE '%".esc_sql($extra_sql)."%'";
        }
        $sql = str_replace("value LIKE '%".esc_sql($field_value)."%'", "value LIKE '%".esc_sql($field_value)."%'" . $extra_sql , $sql);
    }

    return $sql;
}
add_filter ('kleo_bp_field_query', 'kleo_bp_field_query_custom', 100, 3);

Also, in order for this code to work I had to make a small change to a core file which I have attached below and you’ll have to update it over ftp in the main theme: “wp-content/themes/sweetdate/custom_buddypress/kleo-bp-search.php”, and we’ll include this modification in updates as well.

Let me know how it went.

Just proceed yourself with the above advices and everything should work just fine.

Let me know how it went.

Well, in order for my modifications to work you will have to set up your field values as you stated in your first post:

I am a: Mężczyzną

I am a: Kobietą

and

I’m looking for: Kobiety

I’m looking for: Mężczyzny

I have built the custom search based on this values.

You can set them from your wp admin backend under “Users > Profile Fields”

I’m glad to hear that.
