NG! Member List -- new fieldtype for FieldFrame

This is pretty awesome, and I can see this becoming very very useful. Is there any plan in the future to make things even more granular? Say, we only need to show 4 names from 1 member group, not all (especially if it’s a giant member group)?

I’d just rather not create several new member groups just to accommodate granularity.

Is there any plan in the future to make things even _more_ granular? Say, we only need to show 4 names from 1 member group, not all (especially if it’s a giant member group)?

That’s an interesting idea. I do fear performance hitches on the admin area for a hyper-large user base (to select the specific members via a multiselect would be an awful experience). I’ll look into it and see if this is a possibility. Thanks for the feedback.

I also ask this because it’s currently impossible to have one member under multiple member groups as well. I can assign new members with the same name but not the same email to another member group.

lealea, actually you can assign multiple member accounts with the same email address, but you have to set EE to allow it.

Sorry for my ignorance but where can I do this? I have been trying to do a search but have not found anything.

Hi NG!

I have installed your fieldtype but instead of the Member Name (“Some Name”) the output is the member_id (“3”). Any ideas?

Edit: Just to clarify, the Screen Name appears in the dropdown in the CP, but the member_id appears on the template.

Cheers,

Cormac

Hi Cormac:

This is the correct behavior.

Like the other FieldFrame fieldtypes, this only saves the identifier for the member (in this case the ‘member_id’). It is up to your front end to determine how that member_id is handled.

For instance, on some of our projects, we pass that info to Solspace’s User module to get the relevant user data.

NG!

Yeah, I was just not thinking it through last night, it makes much more sense to have it that way. Cheers!

this is very handy! but: could you specify the parameters and variables that are available? I was quite astonished that there was no example whatsoever…

thanks stefan

ha ha… I found out myself:

here’s a working example: Tag Pair:

{if your_custom_field}
    {your_custom_field}
        {if {row_count} == 1}<h3>Title</h3><ul>{/if}                
            <li><a href="#">{your_col_name}</a></li>
        {if {row_count} == {total_rows}}</ul>{/if}
    {/your_custom_field}
{/if}

your_col_name outputs the member_id

Single Tag:

{your_custom_field}

outputs a table with col_label as Heading and Member_id’s as table cells

Could NG! Member List be used to add a Member List pull down menu custom_field for the Photo Gallery?

Nice idea!

Do you think users could check/uncheck their names as selected from a saef? This would come really handy to keep record of attending members on events…

BTW: I just notice it only allows you to select a single member. Is there any setting to make it a multiple select field?

Loving this extension.

However, I’m getting duplicate entries in the drop down list - lists the same name 10 times for each member.

Anyone else got this problem?
