Refactoring user search to allow search/filter by custom fields

[Lucifer4o]

Hello all,

As phpBB is moving profile fields to custom fields I think it will be nice if we do the user search allow searching/filtering users per custom profile fields.

This will require new option in ACP when defining the custom field (example Searchable - > yes/no), this means new field in DB schema.

Other requirements are changing the user search/filter part of the members.php.

This will allow easier filtering of users, not only by the defined now fields.

Regards.

Huge +1 for obvious reasons - as far as I remember, dev team already plans to make all profile fields custom, and at least for contact fields search is really a welcome addition.

Basic stuff is good - you can filter by custom field data ... now I'm working on the search/filter form ... I think I'll have some working basics to tomorrow.

Just a question for devs - where should I add changes to the DB?

Migration?

[nickvergessen]

It would be migrations, however this should not be an option. If the field is displayed, it should be searchable and sortable

That is even better. Then I will have a PR in a day or two.

For the development purposes I use the display in memberlist.

Is this good?

Seems right to me.

I seem to be at an impasse ...

Should I include the boolean fields ... and if yes ... how to stop them from doing logical damage ...

And one more thing - should the URL be searchable?

[Lucifer4o]

First PR sent ... it has some more work to be done ...

Just wanted to use TRAVIS because it works locally.

I still have to make it work with dates ...

MEH ... no problem. This is something I need, but I am glad that it will be useful for all of you.
