Image in search results

[sabbella]

Hello,

I’m using ajax search pro for searching in users metadata. When I get the results, the default image next to the title of each search result is the avatar.

I would like to change the avatar and display a custom image that each user can upload to their profile (meta key name is: foto)

I tried to display it in “General Options ->Image Options”, but the avatars continues appearing.

Could you help me to display the “foto” instead of the avatar?

Thank you,

Hi,

This should be possible, but only by using a custom code. Try adding this custom code to the functions.php in your theme/child theme directory (copy from line 3 only!). Before editing, please make sure to have a full site back-up just in case!
Change the $field variable to the user meta field name, it should do the trick:

add_filter( 'asp_results', 'asp_get_custom_cf_image', 10, 1 );
function asp_get_custom_cf_image( $results ) {
	$field = 'user-image-url'; // Enter the user meta field containing the image
	foreach ($results as $k=>&$r) {
		if ( $r->content_type == 'user' ) {
			$img = get_user_meta($r->id, $field, true);
			if ( !is_wp_error($img) && !empty($img) )
				$r->image = $img;
		}
	}
	return $results;
}

If the image URL is stored within that field, then this should work.

Thank you very much, Ernest, but it doesn’t work to me, I don’t know why!
I’ve got something like this in my users directory page to get the images:

foreach($theusers as $auser)
{
$auser = get_userdata($auser->ID); //At the top of the directory.php
$auser->membership_level = pmpro_getMembershipLevelForUser($auser->ID);
…..

if (get_user_meta($auser->ID, ‘foto’, true)) {
if (in_array( ‘pmpro_role_2’, (array) $auser->roles))

{

echo '<a target="_blank" class="'.$avatar_align.'" href="'. add_query_arg('pu', $auser->user_nicename, $profile_url).'">'. (wp_get_attachment_image( $attachment_id, 'thumb')).'</a>';

}

P.S. I’m displaying the results in the Page results search (Redirect to: Results page)

Thank you,

Hi,

That is the problem then probably. The plugin cannot affect the layout of the results page unfortunately. It is controlled by the search.php file in your currently active theme/child-theme directory. The image parsing must be corrected within that scope.

Ok, thank you very much Ernest 🙂

P.S. just a question; why the title and url can be modified if I’m using the search results page, but the users img can’t be canged?

Hi,

Because the title, content and some other fields are printed after ‘pre_get_posts’ filters, without actually re-quering these fields. The image requested later on, when it’s printed. There might be a hook available for that, but it’s definitely executed after the search process is fully finished, I am not that familiar with that to be honest.

Thank you very much for the explanation!
