How to add a filter to refine loop results

  • Hi Andrea,

    is there away to refine loop results? I was hoping I could add a tab to sort loop results from BP Search or other forms a bit more.

    For example lets say I use BP Search, select a few filter options and hit search – then I get member results based on those selected filters.

    Now lets assume I want to then refine those displayed member results, e.g. show only members that are online from the results?

    Is there a hook/action I can tap into to “use” the currently displayed member result to filter even further?

    To be clear, I do not mean the “recently active”, “newest” or “alphabetical” ones. I want to create a tab that does the additional sorting/filtering when I click it by “building” on/using the loop results from a previous filter process.

    Any suggestion? ??

    Hi Fabian,

    Unfortunately the search results are not stored, and currently the only way to refine a set of search results is to run another search with the original filters plus the new ones.

    Let’s say you have a search form with five filters, and you run a search using only two of them. You get a set of search results, and at the same time your search form ‘remembers’ your original filters.

    You can now use one or more of the still unused filters in the same search form, and you’ll get a refined set of results.
