INSTALL
Step 1
Open the file admin/menu.php

Step 1.1: Find

code:

           <a href="{$config['phpurl']}/admin/edittheme.php?Cat=$Cat" target="mainFrame">
           Edit theme settings
           </a>

---

BELOW it add:

code:

           <br>
           <a href="{$config['phpurl']}/admin/editconfigcul.php?Cat=$Cat" target="mainFrame">
           Edit Configurable User List settings
           </a>

---

Step 2: Backup your showmembers.php, templates/default/showmembers.tmpl files
Step 3: Upload the doeditconfigcul.php and editconfigcul.php in your admin folder
Step 4: Upload the configcul.tmpl and showmembers.tmpl in your templates/default folder
Step 5: Upload the configcul.inc.php and showmembers.php in your threads folder
Step 6: Give write permissions to the configcul.inc.php file

That's it.

If you need to show/hide fields, all you have to do is to go to the admin section and click the Edit Configurable List Settings link.

The configuration allows you to specify a string for the column header, its width, alignment and its type. The types are:

Profile Links the value of the field passed to the showprofile.php script
Mail Translates the value of the field to a mailto hyperlink
URL Translates the value of the field to a URL hyperlink
ICQ Translates the value of the field to an ICQ hyperlink (picture) provided that it is selected in the main configuration file
Date Translates a number from the database to a valid date (unixdate to string)
Number Translates a number to a number with the thousands separated by commas
String Leaves the field value as it is

Enjoy!

Edit New version of the modification with better configuration script

Thank you for this mod, I'll install it for sure as soon as I get the time.

dimopoulos,

Thanks! This will come in handy. I previously removed the showmembers, since I did not want to provide a way to harvest the information in bulk. Now with limited display, I feel better about having the option available to Users.

Once installed the config.inc.php gave me an error at the top of each page

$config['memberlistsort'] = "U_Username-Username-U-10|U_Status-Status-U-5|U_Homepage-Homepage-U-10|U_TotalPosts-Total Posts-U-5|U_Extra1-ICQ Number-U-5|U_Registered-Registered On-U-10";

Any ideas? I do have some special fields in the members profile, would this throw it off?

Damn! I knew I forgot something!

The error is possibly occurring because there is no sort defined in your configuration variable. If you change the

code:

U_Username-Username-U-10|

---

to

code:

U_Username-Username-A-10|

---

it should work. I will add a new check to ensure that if there is no sort, the first field will always allow the sorts.

I am working on an updated version since (now that I am fully awake ) I haven't put checks if the Username exists in the configuration script, which is essential for the Userlist Sort modification.

I have updated the files on the first post.

Warm regards

Just to let everyone know once more that I have updated the top post with the new version of this modification.

The configuration array is stored in a new file and it is set from the Admin area.

Please report any bugs or if I forgot anything.

Warm regards
