Advanced Custom Fields (ACF) Support

  • Hi,
    I’m using the fantastic ACF extension with Buddypress. I use for exampek repeater fields for CV in bp user profile templates, and some act fields attached to Buddypress groups.
    I’m asking you what would be the best way for me to integrate ACF fields support in Bp profile search plugin (form and ajax request based on custom fields used by ACF) ?

    I would like to build an extension, something like “BP Profile Search ACF Add-on” to combine all the power of ACF with your awesome plugin. Thanks for your lights!

    Hi mecanographik,

    BP Profile Search is only able to search for BuddyPress members, or WordPress users, using the BuddyPress profile fields. It can be extended to use other user attributes, e.g. user role, user group, and so on, but it will only return a list of user IDs.

    The returned user IDs are then passed to the BuddyPress Members directory template, that handles their display, sorting, pagination and the ajax requests.

    That said, I’ll be glad to support your project. For instance, I’ll need to know which BP Profile Search hooks and features your extension will use, so I can keep them stable in the coming releases. I can also add more hooks and features, if your extension needs them.

    Please let me know!

    Hi Andrea,
    Thanks for your answer, i understand your concept. It would be awesome to have the ideal hook added in one of the coming releases! I’m working on a test drive actually, with bp profile search combined with ACF and some custom function to see if i can handle this.
    We keep in touch ! ??
