Use Vanilla for external profiles

Daniel

Hi! I want to show the users of one group on an external page in a different way - as an book :-) That means two profiles per page and a navigation to move forewards and backwards. How can I create a template for that and how can I call this template on an external page? Thanks for any advice!

Daniel

Okay - "all" I need is a funktion which lists the real name and the predefined attributes and can be called with a user-id like this:



But I cant't figure out how to solve this. I think for an experienced programmer this is no problem at all, but for me....

Thanks for your help!

If you mean the typical user info, then use the UserManager::GetUserById() function and retrieve the data from the User object. If you're referring to the predefined attributes extension, then it appears the extension adds a colum in the LUM_User table called PredefinedAttributes, which contains a serialized array. You could probably use delegates to get this along with the normal user info when GetUserById is called.

If you're referring to the predefined attributes extension

Yes, I do - I think I'm able to list the typical user info, but not that kind of array...

NickE

All you have to do is retrieve the string, send it through unserialize(), then loop through it displaying each item.

Daniel

Thank you again - I had a look on the predifined attributes extension and managed to return some values:

$data = unserialize($row_Recordset1['PredefinedAttributes']); unserialize($data);
returns
Array ( [0] => Array ( [Label] => Phone-Nr. [Value] => 030 ) [1] => Array ( [Label] => T-Shirt-Size [Value] => M ) )

there seems to be an array inside the array :-(

NickE

You only need to call unserialize once, and to loop through the info is as simple as:

for($i = 0; $i < count($data); $i++)
	echo($data[$i]['Label'].': '.$data[$i]['Value']);

Daniel

Ahhh! Thanks a lot, that's it!

I'll publish the result when I'm done!

Good luck with that idea!
