Thanks!

Members loop… Fixed it. Thanks!

Hi,

Thanks a bunch… Apparently I deleted the font awesome plugin! 😉 I installed it and they popped back in place…

Do you have any resolve for the issue that I also named?: “Also for some reason both age and birthdate show in the search results. The birthdate can go.”

[Douweboschma]

Hi, Did you ever come up with a solution to that?

Greetings,

D

[Douweboschma]

Thanks. That sounds like a wonderful feature!

[Douweboschma]

Hi,

Still no improvements… I don’t get the plugin to work!

[Douweboschma]

Thanks. Can you reply the response here? 🙂

[Douweboschma]

I am clicking on that button yes. If I click on the button after the plugin install nothing happens. Just a button click with no effect. I have brought down the installed plugins to the essentials so I don’t think I can resolve it by uninstalling something else.

Hi, Thanks.

I’ve tried bp-profile-message-ux but nothing happens when I click on “message” in a profile. Thanks for the image link tip. I will try it tomorrow!

[Douweboschma]

Hi I’ve struggled with the same problem as you do and I found the following solution.

In the base profile you could have for example a drop down for

I am:

Male
Female

Then you could add checkboxes with:

Who is:

Mechanic
Rider
Bar man
Brawler
Lover
Babe

and so on… 😉

Other drop down:

Who is looking for:

male
female

And checkboxes with:

Who is:

Mechanic
Rider
Bar man
Brawler
Lover
Babe

etc.

In the search you swap the I am and looking for around in the theme options: sweet date/ buddypress and you add the first “who is” to the search form.

This kind of solution worked for me.

Good luck

Regards,

Ewoud

Hi. I had the same thing but found out that it was due to the fact that other browser windows were open with the user profile fields pages. That messed things up. Things worked fine again when I only had one browser window open of that same page. I am not sure it’s the same with you, but you could try…

[Douweboschma]

Thanks. That worked like a charm. And te mobile experience is suddenly 80% better 😉

[Douweboschma]

I have tried several things but the width of the colum seems to restrict a proper lay out wrapping the dropown fields to an other line.

I could also imagine having the search box spread over two colums instead of one in the middle, to save a lot of scrolling with the check boxes. There seems to be enough space for that.

Hide and un-hide the top part of your own profile to provide better visibility on messages and options and so on…

The profile top is in the way. i know of no other dating site that has the own profile on top all the time either.

[Douweboschma]

I just wonder. Is it not possible to hide the whole thing like under an accordion tab? So that you can hide and unhide the profile preview just for yourself?

I still think the whole is too large. Especially when people have long written descriptions in their profile.

I don’t think my users will see “logging out to see the profile” as a solution. It is not a solution on my site anyway as the profiles are not visible for logged out users. 😉

If this is hard to achieve with some simple means then I would really like to add this as a future request.

[Douweboschma]

Hehe, that wrapped all into one long line 😉

I will play a little with it tomorrow and will post the results.

Thanks!

[Douweboschma]

Tred that one already. No luck with that 😉

[Douweboschma]

It is more a “marketing” thing, but I think people will hook off once they come in. Being disappointed with so little activity, many fake profiles probably…. My site is growing slowly but progressively (I started with 1 a day two weeks ago and are now at 8 members a day about) by hard networking and about being honest. People just are allergic to being fooled like you might be yourself. It may be tempting but I believe in the reward of patience and hard work. How to kick networking in gear? I use different ways but get the best results from Facebook groups. Find your target market. Be nice and informative. Blog a lot. Tweet a lot and don’t be overly pushy!

Just my two cents here… 😉

[Douweboschma]

Hi…

I think I found some kind of solution though! I still need to implement it (and edit the profiles that already have been made. 😉

I am posting this here because othes might run into the same thing.

The idea is to split up.

I am/ we are a: (dropdown)

Man
Woman
Couple
Other

Who is/ are: (checkboxes)

Hetrosexual
Bisexual
Gay
Gender fluid
Pansexual
Queer
Genderqueer
Cross-dresser
Transgender
Androgynous
Questioning

Looking for a: (dropdown)

Man
Woman
Couple
Other

Who is/ are: (checkboxes of which the results are only to show on the profile)

Hetrosexual
Bisexual
Gay
Gender fluid
Pansexual
Queer
Genderqueer
Cross-dresser
Transgender
Androgynous
Questioning

In this way the basic matching is gender based but then extended with the check boxes. Like this several options/ combinations can be made. Most will search specifically for a gender but like this one can still specify her self as a female, gay, queer. for instance.

The solution is that I still can turn the fields around and sneak the first “Who is/ are” into the search. als “I am/we are a:” (dropdown)…. “Iooking for a:”(dropdown) “Who is/are:” (checkboxes)

I think this will work…

Thanks for looking into it.

[Douweboschma]

Thanks 🙂

[Douweboschma]

Ok thanks… I have to think then how to solve that issue of many users requestiong to select several types in “looking for”

[Douweboschma]

Hi, just an idea. I am not a pro but it is a suggestion. Did you try to set “Per-Member Visibility” of all the options in the base tab to “Nobody”? It might make the label disappear.

[Douweboschma]

Errrrr… Now I pasted it and it was great at once… 😉 EHM Sorry for disturbing for that..

[Douweboschma]

Hi found this post:

https://archived.seventhqueen.com/forums/topic/building-search-queries-for-non-dating-sites

I understand there it is styling disallowing. Could you plz tell how to disable that so that I can search against selectboxes with a multiple select?

[Douweboschma]

So there is not possibillity for multiple selection in the “I am” – “Looking for” search?

[Douweboschma]

Hi,

Thanks. That sounded very hopeful but the code blanked my site out.

IS there anything wrong with it?:

function my_bp_get_the_profile_field_name($name) {
if ($name == ‘Date of Birth’ && strpos($_SERVER[‘REQUEST_URI’], ‘/register’) === false) {
return ‘Age’;
}
return $name;
}
add_filter ( ‘bp_get_the_profile_field_name’, ‘my_bp_get_the_profile_field_name’, 15, 1);

[Douweboschma]

Taht’s a double bind because now all the profiles show their birth day again instead of age. I really want to have the age there! And the age everywhere…

[Douweboschma]

Got it…. Or at least I am getting there. There was a difference between the original base fields and the bp_members_loop_meta in the bp_members_loop_meta in functions.php

So I changed it like this:

$kleo_config[‘bp_members_loop_meta’] = array(
‘I am a:’,
‘Birth date:’,
‘City or nearest city:’,

);

But still I have a problem! The age is showing the birth date with: 00:00:00 behind it.

I use ” Check this if you want to show age instead of birthdate: ” checked.

So I am saved if you can tell me how to make the birthdate into an age there too. I’ve got it right everywhere else.

[Douweboschma]

That sounds awesome! 🙂 It is so nice to see that you guys are actually working hard to improve the profile. I think all of us appreciate that very much!

[Douweboschma]

Got some complaints about exactly what I named in my former message. If it were possible to have for example a button or link with “view full profile” in place than it would help people to see their own profile in a more complete state too…

[Douweboschma]

Actually! Multi select dropdowns would do the trick too… The problem is that multiple selection is clumpy in the quick search.

[Douweboschma]

That worked like a charm too! Thanks…

[Douweboschma]

Wonderfull! That worked like charm. Is there any way to view your own complete profile? I can imagine that people like to check out what it looks like.

[Douweboschma]

Yes I am and I tried that too but nothing else but the profile name and age show up.

[Douweboschma]

I’ll look into the settings… Thanks…

[Douweboschma]

Hi, Thanks.

That would make sense even though I did not find anything clear about this. “Not-members” sounds a bit deceptive.

So then it would be:

“Not logged”:anyone without an account.
“Non-members” anyone with an account but not paying.
“Members” are paying for extra features.

[Douweboschma]

Maybe an idea to integrate? There are several tests that can be made with this plugin. This kind of test is used a lot for job-profiling too so implementing this could give your template even more uses. It is rare on dating sites but I believe it is really a “golden egg”

I had to smile a little because you make that all sound very easy. 😉

So I looked a bit at the code but it seems like a code-swamp to me and I am sinking into it.

I saw though that the plugin actually creates some database tables.

wp_ptest_answer
wp_ptest_dimension
wp_ptest_main
wp_ptest_question

I would be happy to try out a bit but actually need to have a push in the right direction. I found a code snippet I thought could make some sense in how to get this baby to post stuff to the right user in the database. If you would have the time to look at it then I would greatly appreciate it. If you don’t then I have complete understanding for that because it might not be your most urgent matter. 😉

The results are shown trough this snippet in “test_form.php” I guess. Maybe this is the more important one. The result of “%%PROFILE_CODE%%” should be saved in the database and become visible on the member profile.

(// Populate form fields according to the action
if($_REQUEST[‘action’]== ‘edit’) {
$action = ‘edit’;
$form_title = __(‘Edit Test’,’ptest’);
$dtest = array();
$dtest = $wpdb->get_row($wpdb->prepare(“SELECT name,description,final_screen FROM {$wpdb->prefix}ptest_main WHERE ID=%d”, $_REQUEST[‘test’]));
$final_screen = stripslashes($dtest->final_screen);
$all_dimensions = $wpdb->get_results($wpdb->prepare(“SELECT ID, pdimension, explanation, ndimension FROM {$wpdb->prefix}ptest_dimension WHERE test_id=%d”, $_REQUEST[‘test’]));
if($dimension_count < count($all_dimensions)) $dimension_count = count($all_dimensions) ;
} elseif ($_REQUEST[‘action’] == ‘new’ OR $_REQUEST[‘action’]==””) {
$action = ‘new’;
$form_title = __(‘Add New Test’,’ptest’);
$final_screen = __(‘<p>Congratulations – you have completed %%TEST_NAME%%.</p>\n\n<p>Your personality profile %%PROFILE_CODE%%. </p>’,’ptest’);
}

?>

I would really appreciate that little push in my back if it would not take too much of your time.
