## Beschrijving

Out of the box, BuddyPress automatically turns some words and phrases in the fields
of a user’s profile into links that, when clicked, search the user’s community for
other profiles containing those phrases. When activated, this plugin allows users
and administrators to have more control over these links, in the following ways:

1) By using square brackets in a profile field, users can specify which words or
phrases in their profile turn into links. For example: under Interests, I might 
list “Cartoons about dogs”. By default, Buddypress will turn the entire phrase into
a link that searches the community for others who like cartoons about dogs. If I
instead type “[Cartoons] about [dogs]”, then the two words in brackets will turn
into independent links.

2) Administrators can specify certain profile fields that will not turn into links
at all. The standard setting for the plugin is that fields labeled ‘Phone’, ‘IM’,
and ‘Skype ID’ will not become linkable (it doesn’t make much sense to search a 
community for what should be a unique handle, after all). See custom-profile-filters-
for-buddypress.php to configure this setting.

3) Administrators can specify certain profile fields that link to social networking
profiles. If I enter my Twitter handle ‘boonebgorges’ into a field labeled ‘Twitter’,
for example, this plugin will bypass the default link to a BuddyPress search on ‘
boonebgorges’ and instead link to http://twitter.com/boonebgorges. See custom-profile-
filters-for-buddypress-bp-functions.php to configure this setting.

This plugin was created as part of the CUNY Academic Commons of the City University
of New York. See http://commons.gc.cuny.edu to learn more about this bodacious project.

### Notes

The plugin checks each profile for square brackets and activates if it finds any.
If no square brackets are found, the default automatic filter will kick in.

You might want to insert a small explanation into your BP profile edit template (/
wp-content/bp-themes/[your-member-theme]/profile/edit.php that tells your site’s
users how to use these brackets. Here’s what I use:

“Words or phrases in your profile can be linked to the profiles of other members
that contain the same phrases. To specify which words or phrases should be linked,
add square brackets: e.g. “I enjoy [English literature] and [technology].” If you
do not specify anything, phrases will be chosen automatically.”

Future features include: admin tab with toggle switch; ability to tweak BP’s automatic
profile filter (e.g. to parse semi-colon separated lists in addition to commas).

## Installatie

 1. Upload the `custom-profile-filters-for-buddypress` directory to your plugins folder
 2. Activate the plugin
 3. Edit custom-profile-filters-for-buddypress.php to configure

It's okay, but Twitter (and likely other types of) links are broken as explained
in this post. If that can get fixed, it'll be worth a five-star review from me!
