We want to create weblogs of information on members.  But I want the ability to pull up a member and have all weblogs tagged with his name to appear on his page only.  Is that possible?  Did I explain that without confusing you?

I would imagine something like this where the username is being passed through the URL in segment 3.  Using Solspace’s user module I came up with something like this but it’s not working.  Is there a way in EE’s native functionality to accomplish this?

When I select John Doe from a jump menu, it goes to a page with this code and should pull in only weblog information associated with John Doe.

URL: <a href="http://www.mysite.com/index.php/site/memberresults/John">http://www.mysite.com/index.php/site/memberresults/John</a> Doe

{exp:weblog:entries weblog="memberhistory" }

     {exp:user:stats username="{segment_3}"}

             {entry_date format="%F %j, %Y "}          
             {title}

             {body}

     {/exp:user:stats}
{/exp:weblog:entries }

You need to make sure it’s the username in the URL not the screen_name:

If you have http://www.mysite.com/index.php/site/memberresults/johndoe then the following should work…

{exp:weblog:entries weblog="memberhistory" username="{segment_3}"}
{entry_date format="%F %j, %Y "}          
{title}
{body}
{/exp:weblog:entries}

But wouldn’t that just pull in the weblogs assigned to the currently logged in user with the username in segment 3?

My understanding of the

username=

parameter in the weblog declaration was that it pulls in member data on the logged in member.  So this would be helpful if I were pulling in information from a weblog specific to that member.  But I want an administrator to view the information in that weblog for the user defined in segment 3.

So I took a look at the docs and found the “search:field_name=” feature.

The “search:” parameter allows you to constrain Weblog Entries output based on content within your custom fields.

I’ve tried doing something like this to no avail:

{exp:weblog:entries weblog="memberhistory" search:name="{segment_3}"}

    <h3>{title}</h3>
<p>CUSTOM FIELD --> {name}<br />
    {body}<br />
    <br />
{/exp:weblog:entries}

Actually just shows nothing.  Additionally, using the username= parameter where the username is segment_3 yields nothing:

{exp:weblog:entries weblog="memberhistory" username="{segment_3}"}

    <h3>{title}</h3>
<p>    {name}<br />
    {body}<br />
    <br />
{/exp:weblog:entries}
