Show just VENDORS on members page

[Karen Thomas]

Hello,

Is there a way for me to only display Vendors on my community page here:

Conscious Crafties Community

It currently shows customers and other roles, but our community is based around sick and disabled people who love to craft and I’m not sure if our customers are also sick and disabled.

Many thanks,

Karen

Hi @conscious-crafties

You can use some custom codes to hide customers and subscribers

Hi @conscious-crafties,

Did you manage to do this?

I have tried to put the code, below, together but it is not working

add_action(‘bp_ajax_querystring’,’bpdev_exclude_users’,20,2);
function bpdev_exclude_users($qs=false,$object=false){
//list of users to exclude

if($object!=’members’)//hide for members only
return $qs;

$excluded_user=join(‘,’,bpdev_get_subscriber_user_ids(),bpdev_get_customer_user_ids());//comma separated ids of users whom you want to exclude

$args=wp_parse_args($qs);

//check if we are searching for friends list etc?, do not exclude in this case
if(!empty($args[‘user_id’]))
return $qs;

if(!empty($args[‘exclude’]))
$args[‘exclude’]=$args[‘exclude’].’,’.$excluded_user;
else
$args[‘exclude’]=$excluded_user;

$qs=build_query($args);

return $qs;

}

function bpdev_get_user_ids(){
$users = get_users( array( ‘role__in’ => [‘customer’, ‘subscriber’], ‘fields’ => ‘ID’ ) );
return $users;
}

Hi Omar, was a bit confused by the thread as they made corrections but didn’t put the new code in it’s entirety. I’m very nervous adding code.

I think we need to change the last line:
‘There is a mistake on line 33. It should be return $subscribers not return $users’

I also wasn’t sure whether to create a copy of custom_buddypress/bp-functions.php somewhere so it doesn’t get overwritten when we have updates.

Tagging @vapvarun as maybe he can help 🙂

Hi @conscious-crafties @omarobaid
Following should work fine

add_action('bp_ajax_querystring','bpdev_exclude_users',20,2);
function bpdev_exclude_users($qs=false,$object=false){
    //list of users to exclude
     
    if($object!='members')//hide for members only
        return $qs;
        
    $excluded_user=join(',',bpdev_get_subscriber_user_ids());//comma separated ids of users whom you want to exclude
  
    
    $args=wp_parse_args($qs);
    
    //check if we are searching for friends list etc?, do not exclude in this case
    if(!empty($args['user_id']))
        return $qs;
    
    if(!empty($args['exclude']))
        $args['exclude']=$args['exclude'].','.$excluded_user;
    else 
        $args['exclude']=$excluded_user;
      
    $qs=build_query($args);
   
   
   return $qs;
    
}

function bpdev_get_user_ids(){
  $users = get_users( array( 'role__in' => ['customer', 'subscriber'], 'fields' => 'ID' ) );
  return $users;
}

Hi @vapvarun,

Thnanks for looking into this, but it removes everyone and it shows a blank page.

[Karen Thomas]

Hello,

Is this where we insert the code @vapvarun:
custom_buddypress/bp-functions.php

Worried about adding this now re Omar’s comment above.

Thank you,

Karen

Hi @conscious-crafties,

You would actually need to create a new file called bp-custom.php and insert the above code in it.

You would need to put the file here wp-content/plugins

But it didn’t work for me as it removed everyone not just customers.

Let me know if you have a breakthrough

This works better:

<?php

add_filter( 'bp_after_has_members_parse_args', 'buddydev_exclude_users_by_role' );

function buddydev_exclude_users_by_role( $args ) {
    //do not exclude in admin
    if( is_admin() && ! defined( 'DOING_AJAX' ) ) {
        return $args;
    }

    $excluded = isset( $args['exclude'] )? $args['exclude'] : array();

    if( !is_array( $excluded ) ) {
        $excluded = explode(',', $excluded );
    }

    $role = 'customer';//change to the role to be excluded
    $user_ids =  get_users( array( 'role' => $role ,'fields'=>'ID') );

    $excluded = array_merge( $excluded, $user_ids );

    $args['exclude'] = $excluded;

    return $args;
}

[Omar]

Fantastic, thank you very much, It works perfectly.

Do you now how to remove admin as well?

<?php

add_filter( 'bp_after_has_members_parse_args', 'buddydev_exclude_users_by_role' );

function buddydev_exclude_users_by_role( $args ) {
    //do not exclude in admin
    if( is_admin() && ! defined( 'DOING_AJAX' ) ) {
        return $args;
    }

    $excluded = isset( $args['exclude'] )? $args['exclude'] : array();

    if( !is_array( $excluded ) ) {
        $excluded = explode(',', $excluded );
    }

    //change 'role' to the role to be excluded
    $user_ids_customer 	=  get_users( array( 'role' => 'customer' 	,'fields'=>'ID') );
    $user_ids_admin 	=  get_users( array( 'role' => 'admin' 		,'fields'=>'ID') );

    $excluded = array_merge( $excluded, $user_ids_customer, $user_ids_admin );

    $args['exclude'] = $excluded;

    return $args;
}
