Feature Requst: s2Member-list Search Needs to Search All s2Member Fields

Related Issue/Feature Request: #578

The s2Member-list search functionality searches any field in wp-users AND any custom registration/profile fields the user has created. It does not search the default fields created with s2Member. The user who sent in the referenced Zendesk ticket is particularly interested in s2member_subscr_id, but all fields linked to a subscriber should be searchable.

s2member_subscr_id, but all fields linked to a subscriber should be searchable.

Agree. cc @raamdev

This is actually a very powerful idea. Challenging, since the WP_User_Query() class does not support it, but in the last round of updates I actually started moving away from that class in many ways.

Anyway, to allow a search for things like s2member_subscr_id is to allow a search for any wp_usermeta column at the same time. I'd love to get that into the [s2Member-List /] shortcode!

[raamdev]

Sounds like a nice enhancement!

Here are two code samples I found related to searching wp_usermeta that may be worth reviewing when it comes time to work on this:

The following issues all appear to be duplicates of this issue, with a few slight variations in each one: #794 #334 #679 #555 #552 I recommend that we consolidate all of those into this (#596) issue.

@jaswsinc, @raamdev: This is a much better idea than all of the individual tickets. I "vote" for this feature. :)

Next Release Changelog:

• (s2Member Pro) [s2Member-List /] Added the ability to search usermeta data too. For instance, you can now search first_name, last_name, nickname, description, s2member_subscr_id, s2member_custom, etc, etc. See this GitHub issue.

  Note: The first_name, last_name, and nickname columns are now a part of the default value for the search_columns="" attribute in the [s2Member-List /] shortcode. See also: this GitHub issue. Props @patdumond for her ideas.

• (s2Member Pro) [s2Member-List /] There are some new orderby="" options. You may now choose to order the list by: first_name, last_name, or nickname.

• (s2Member Pro) [s2Member-List /] It is now possible to search through s2Member Custom Registration/Profile Fields that may contain an array of values; i.e., you can now search any Custom Registration/Profile Field in s2Member. For instance, if a field is designed to accept multiple selections, or you provide a set of multiple checkbox options. See also: this GitHub issue.

• (s2Member Pro) [s2Member-List /] Bug Fix: Meta fields that contained a timestamp were being displayed by the date_i18n() function in WP core. However, the time offset calculation was wrong; i.e., not a match to the local time configured by your installation of WordPress. Fixed in this release.

• (s2Member Pro) [s2Member-List /] Bug Fix: Minor formatting corrections for replacement codes made available for the link_*="" attributes in the [s2Member-List /] shortcode.

• (s2Member Pro) [s2Member-List /]: It is now possible to search for an exact match by surrounding your search query with double quotes; e.g., "john doe" (in quotes, for an exact match), instead of the default behavior, which is *john doe* behind-the-scenes; i.e., a fuzzy match.

• (s2Member Pro) [s2Member-List /]: Several behind-the-scenes performance enhancements.
