Idiot's Guide to pimp your age match formula (age difference)

[omtr]

Hi Forums,

cause i don’t like the age matching feauture in sweetdate, i tried to modify it:

the more the two ages vary, the less score your get.

i assume that if the age difference is lager thatn 15, you don’t get any extra points for the matching score.

it’s a simple job if you know where to drop some extra lines of code. to be honest: i’m not really a good php coder, that’s why i call it an “Idio’s guide”. feel free to improve it – and share.

here is how to modify your code:

1. open wp-content/themes/sweetdate/custom_buddypress/bp-functions.php
2. search for:

COPY CODE

			//single fields match
			if (is_array($kleo_config['matching_fields']['single_value']))
			{
				foreach ($kleo_config['matching_fields']['single_value'] as $key => $value) 
				{
					if ( xprofile_get_field_data($key, $userid1) 
							&& xprofile_get_field_data($key, $userid2) 
							&& xprofile_get_field_data($key, $userid1) == xprofile_get_field_data($key, $userid2)
						) {
						$score += $value;
					}
				}
			}

3. add the following code below:

COPY CODE

			//age match
			$age1 = get_member_age($userid1);
			$age2 = get_member_age($userid2);
			if ($age1 > $age2) {
				$agediff = $age1 - $age2;
			} else {
				$agediff = $age2 - $age1;
			}
			$score += 15 - $agediff;

that’s it!

p.s. maybe someone can post how to put that stuff into sweetdate-child/functions.php? i think that’s a bette place to put that stuff, but as i already mentioned i am not very good at coding.
