Bugfix: Unable to hide additional users from member loop

BUG:
On my BuddyPress Members directory, I want to exclude non-approved users.
I also want to exclude other types of users.

The current version of the plugin already uses bp_registration_hide_widget_members() to filter out the non-approved users. (Yay!)

The problem, is that if – earlier in the code – I attempt to exclude some other users also… then this instruction gets overridden.

For example, if my theme’s member loop looked like this:

<?php
/**
 * BuddyPress - Members Loop
 */
?>
<?php do_action('bp_before_members_loop'); ?>
<?php if (bp_has_members(array('exclude'=>'1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8'))) : ?>

Then, the instruction to exclude users 1-8 would be ignored (as when BP Reg Options is filtering out the non-approved users, the instruction is overridden).

BUGFIX:
The following code change (to /bp-registration-options/includes/core.php) fixes the issue:

function bp_registration_hide_widget_members( $r = array() ) {
	$exclude_me = bp_registration_get_pending_users();
	$excluded = array();

	foreach( $exclude_me as $exclude ) {
		$excluded[] = $exclude->user_id;
	}
	if(!isset($r['exclude'])){
		$r['exclude'] = implode( ',', $excluded );
	}else {   // ADDED
		$r['exclude'] .= ','.implode( ',', $excluded );
	}

	return $r;
}
