Hi, EasySocial team + community -
I'm playing with ES2, eager to migrate over from JomSocial! Before I can do so, there are a few hurdles I have to solve. One is, is there any way to create a search page or module for just one profile type, which would only show that profile type's custom fields? For my community's purposes, I have about 30 custom fields and the Advanced Search form will be way too confusing for my users. However, simply searching keyword or name (as with the simple search) doesn't do it either.
In JomSocial, this functionality is supplied by a 3rd party component, XiUS (by ReadyBytes), which lets you select exactly which fields to display for each search module, whether to limit the results to a particular profile type, etc. Is there something similar for EasySocial?
Thank, all - I hope to be able to make the jump to ES!
