Memberlist core extension

[schaedelio]

Hi All,

Just wondering the best way to create the following using the Memberlist core extension:

- 2 member groups (1 & 2)
- 3 members in each member group (A, B & C)
- 1 page on the site which presents data for all the members in that particular group. So, if member A from group 1 logged in, they would see the details of members B & C from group 1 but not see the members from group 2. If member A from group 2 logged in, they would only see details for members B & C from group 2.

I tried to achieve this by adding 1 page in the navigation and assigning this page a Memberlist module, but if I check the boxes (in the module) to list groups A & B, then members from both groups see all members from both groups when logged in. It would be handy for it to check the groups of the logged in user and only present other members in their groups.

Do I have to create a module for each group? I'm hoping there's an easier way and i'm just missing something as that would require me to add a module every time I created a group and I could have a large number of groups.

Thanks

You must create 2 memberlist modules for this, where in one you only check group 1 and in the other you check group 2. Then put the modules also on two pages, where one page is only displayed to group 1 and the other to group 2 members.

The other option would be to create a custom list, for example with efg or the listing extension.

Which is more work may depend on the filnal number of groups.

Thanks! I'll check out the custom list option and make a decision.

Hi,

I've been looking at the listing module and extension but it doesn't seem to be able to use a condition to perhaps say:
'WHERE groups = group_of_logged_in_user'

I guess if I needed to I could edit the SQL in the memberlist module to select and unserialze the groups from the tl_member table, and use the result as part of the query but I was hoping to avoid that.

Are there any extensions capable of doing this? Apologies if I have misunderstood your suggestion.

Thanks.

The core module "listing" does have a condition field, please look again.

But in the repository you can also find other modules such as efg or zedseries_listing that may suit.

Hi,

Yes, I see the condition field in the module and zedseries, but I guess I just wondered if there was an example of the condition that I should use to pull the logged in user's group value (insert tag variable?) and apply it. I've checked the documentation but no joy.

If not, no worries, I'll run some tests and see what I can figure out.

Thanks

You can create a custom insert_tags that returns the value you need and use it in listing module or zedseries listing

[schaedelio]

Thanks!

I will look at the custom insert tags solution and post my findings.

As of version 1.5, zedseries_listing has a new class that can be used to write custom "listing like" module, take a look at http://www.zedseries.com/zedseries-listing-v-1.5.html.

feel free to contact me if you need more details

Fatal error: Call to undefined method ModuleMemberListExtended::getIndexFreeRequest() in /home/content/n/o/t/nothingsacred/html/system/modules/memberlist/ModuleMemberlist.php on line 326
