Can you hide the admin from appearing?

lcollings

Is it possible to apply an argument that hides the admin from showing in the member list?

lifeisfoo

Good suggestion. I think that if you are an admin you can see everybody, but if you are a simple user you can view only other members.

I'll release a new version soon, stay tuned.

In the meanwhile you can edit the php plugin class https://github.com/lifeisfoo/EasyMembersList/blob/master/class.easymemberslist.plugin.php
changing line 116 from

$Sender->UserData = Gdn::SQL()->Select('User.*')->From('User')->OrderBy('User.Name')->Where('Deleted',false)->Get();

to something like

$Sender->UserData = Gdn::SQL()->Select('User.*')->From('User')->OrderBy('User.Name')->Where('Deleted',false)->WhereNotIn( 'User.Name', array('admin') )->Get();

Thanks for that, that worked like a charm! I'm trying to come up with another kind of statement, but I'm not sure you'd be willing to help on that as it's manipulating the final layout of your plugin so I don't want to offend at all!

lcollings

If you wouldn't mind taking a look and hearing me out though, I'd really appreciate it and it may be something you could put into the next update!

lifeisfoo

If you have a clean, concrete and editable (via settings) function you can fork the plugin on github, commit your changes and then make a pull request.

Otherwise you can share here your hacks and I'll try to transform it in a function reusable by every plugin's user.

I certainly don't have that, I'm just trying to seperate one big user list into several user lists grouped by a custom dropdown box value they selected on the registration form. But I can't figure out how to incorporate that into the foreach line in the code.

lifeisfoo

If you explain better probably I can help you.

lcollings

OKay, well in a really basic sense I've edited the registration form with some extra fields such as address and phone etc. But I've also included a dropdown box asking the user for their region, allowing them to select from:
Africa
Asia
Australiasia
Europe
Scandinavia
South Africa
South America
United Kingdom
United States.

So far this works fine and stores the information in a database. I can even recall some of the other items back out when listing the members names (such as their company name).

But I just cant my head around compiling an if statement within or before your 'foreach' statement that generates the list of users that basically states 'if the $User->Region == 'uk'.. then perform your foreeach line.

That way I can have each region layed out as a separately looking list with the respective users from that region, all displayed on one page.

lcollings

For example, I've split each region block into divs.

<div class="memberRegion"> <h3>Asia</h3> <?php if ($User->Region = 'uk') { foreach ($this->UserData->Result() as $User) { ?> <li class="memberlist"> <strong><?php echo UserAnchor($User); ?></strong>, <?php echo $User->Company; ?> </li> <?php }} ?> </div>

But whenever I change the region values to each region, i still get just a list of all members. So although it doesn't produce any errors, it's not properly written, obviously. But no matter what I try, I still can't seem to get it working. Would you prefer to talk via email?

lifeisfoo

The if statement should be placed inside the foreach

foreach(...){ if( strcmp($User->Region, 'uk') != 0 ){ // If he isn't from uk continue; // Skip this user (this element of the foreach) } .... }

Also a custom sql query can return only certain users (better performance).
