We have over 600 writers for our site

A number of them are not current, but I wish to keep them listed in the system archives.

What I would like to do is split the list of names into 2

Alphabetical by current writers

Alphabetical by old writers

Can it be done?

Thank you

Hello bthom62,

Thank you for posting your question in the forums.

I believe the simplest way to accomplish this would be with user groups and a plugin called AC Member List. The plugin installs into your third_party directory.

I tested the code out and this worked great for me. I created two member groups. “Active Writers” and “Retired Writers”. I then added the following code to a template.

<b>Active Writers</b>

{exp:ac_memberlist group_id="6" sort="username"} {username}
 {/exp:ac_memberlist}



<b>Retired Writers</b>

{exp:ac_memberlist  group_id="7" sort="username"} {username}
 {/exp:ac_memberlist}

Let me know if this solutions works for you. I look forward to your response!

Cheers!

Thank you Shane I will try it out

I am on Expression Engine 1.7 and the site says this is for 2

So I do not think I can use it

Thank you

Hello Brian,

I am sorry for suggesting a plugin that is not compatible with your version of ExpressionEngine. My mistake!

I am going to move this to the community section of the forums, maybe someone in the community has an idea.

If you are good with PHP, you might think about writing an add-on like AC Member List for version 1.7.

Have you thought about possibly upgrading to version 2.4?

Thank you for posting on the forums.

Cheers!

No nothing about php, I came from the hmtl side of things

I believe I am going to have to upgrade eventually

I just am very cautious about breaking the site
