I have created some custom profile fields and I’m trying to customize our member list to display one of them, specifically a field named “jobtitle”.  I have created a new profile theme and edited the Member List Rows template to:

However, instead of displaying each member’s job title in the member list table, it simply displays the string “{jobtitle}”.

I tried using the {occupation} field instead but this gives me the same results.

Is there a way to display a custom profile field in the member list or, failing that, is there a way to use the “occupation” field?  Or do I have to create my own member list using weblog templates and the {exp:member:custom_profile_data} tag?

Thanks!

There is a blog entry here that seems to discuss what you are trying to do.

Getting the ExpressionEngine Member List to Display Custom Member Fields

Could this help?

What if you’re not wanting the custom fields to display in the member list, but rather in the Admin>Member Groups>View Members area of the backend of EE?
I’ve tried altering the code in cp.members.php and it seems like I should be able to add

$DSP->table_qcell(‘tableHeadingAlt’, $LANG->line(‘my_custom_field’)).

but it doesn’t recognize the names of my custom fields. Alternately it doesn’t recognize “custom_fields” either.

Hi mquill,

The member templates are run through a lightweight engine separate to the normal template parser so that won’t work I’m afraid. Personally, I would do this on a regular template using the Query module and I certainly wouldn’t recommend hacking any of the core files.

@davecannon,

You would need to create an extension and the show_full_control_panel_end hook is probably the one you’d need.

@cafenoir, thanks for helping out.

And how, exactly, would I go about creating an extension? What am I supposed to do with that hook?

Have you seen the docs?
