How to get member list based on role by using buddypress?

Question

I am new in buddypress.

My problem is: I have create a template for get member list based on role Like:

<?php if ( bp_has_members( bp_ajax_querystring( 'members' ). '&per_page=25&role=author' ) ) : ?>

    <ul id="members-list" class="item-list row kleo-isotope masonry">

      <?php while ( bp_members() ) : bp_the_member(); ?>
         <li><a href="<?php bp_member_permalink(); ?>"><?php bp_member_avatar(); ?></a></li>
      <?php endwhile; ?>

    </ul>

But i am not getting user list based on role. Please help me and suggest me any idea.

Answer 1

It's a bit more complicated than you think.

bp_has_members() doesn't support getting users by role. But it supports getting users by their IDs. So the solution might be like this:

1. Get array of IDs of users you need:

   $blogusers = get_users( 'fields=ID&role=author' );
   

2. Instead of role=author add this string to bp_has_members() params:

   include='.implode(',', $blogusers)
   

Thus you will get users of your role.

Don't forget, that you can add ordering to get_users() and bp_has_members() call - that will reflect the order of users displayed on a page.
