hey Beth,

I have tried to access in your Joomla backend, but it seems like you provided that login credential is not working.

Warning

Username and password do not match or you do not have an account yet.

By the way, may i know which search criteria you added in your filter?

I just reset the password, signed in and it works. Let me know if you have trouble.

One example of the criteria I am adding are:
I am a: Donor
Status: Available
Location: Distance 50 miles from me (no location chosen)

The filter shows up and works fine for me, just no one else can see it.

Hi Beth,

I just tried to register your site as normal member and try to view global filters from browse users page and it seems like the filter is shows up correctly. Check my screenshot here, http://screencast.com/t/M9Rcr6A7 . Am I missing something here?

No one goes to the User page, and they don't even know it's there. These need to be visible on the Search page, just like it is for me when I create a filter. I didn't even think to look on the User page, and neither will my users.

Hey Beth,

Currently these global filters are meant for the user's page. It wouldn't make sense to have these filters under the search page because these results are purely users and when you are on the search page, you are actually searching for something more than users

How do you figure? The only criteria available on the search are profile fields. It only returns user profiles. When I create a filter, global or not, it shows up on the right. Maybe you're talking about the site or Joomla search, that's something different.

Log into my site a click Search in the main menu. This is the page I'm talking about. Create a global search and you will see it appear on your page and stay there, which is very helpful. You can click on a saved filter and then modify the criteria, very easy. The global searches should show up here, as this is where people on any kind of "dating" type matching site look for other users. The user page is completely useless, it just has a giant list of users and filters I can't modify.

Please look into this, having the global filters in the search would be very helpful and make a heck of a lot more sense.

Hi Beth,

I am really sorry for the delay of this reply as it weekends for all of us here and we have been occupied with JoomlaDay Malaysia event during weekends.

Thank you for your kind feedback. I will see if I can find a quick workaround for this. I will get back to you once I have managed to make all global filters to appear on the search page instead of users page.
