User Search and User List

Hi preuss,

For user-list, you can select which field to display by adding the “display_field” attribute. It would look something like this:

[user-list display_field='First Name']

For user-search, what does you shortcode look like right now?

Hi Rustaurius,
thank you very much for your answer!

Unfortunately, if I add the display_field argument to the [user-list] shortcode (e.g. display_field=’Email’), the plugin will come back with a blank list.

As for the [user-search] shortcode: I’ve tried it with different search_fields, the error warning always remains the same. E.g. [user-search search_fields=’Email’].
Did I miss an additional required argument? Is there a documentation of available (and/or required) arguments?

Your help is appreciated!

Hi Preuss,

Can you see what version of the plugin you’re using? In an older version, the display_field attribute wasn’t working correctly. I know it was updated recently.

Is that exactly what your user-search code looks like, or are there additional attributes that you’ve added?

There’s not really much more documentation available right now than the PDF and FAQ that are listed on the dashboard of the plugin. We’re in the process of creating a tutorial video series, but it won’t be ready for a few more weeks.

Hi Tim,
Thanks again.
I’m testing v2.2.9, which I re-installed recently for being sure that I have the last version out there. display_field still returning a blank list.
And yes, IT#s the only user-search code I’ve used.
Afraid I will be stuck to WPMembers which I wanted to get rid of with your plugin.

Hi preuss,

Thanks for letting us know about the display_field error, we’ve put out an update (2.2.11) that should return the right field now.

For the user-search, give us a a day or two to try to track down what the problem there might be. Just to clarify a bit, the field “Email” is one that you created, and not the username field if you’re using the “Username is Email” option, right?

Hi Rustaurius,

great work so far, thank you! [user-list] is now returning the field I selected by the display_field argument. Only one at a time (e.g. display_field='First Name') or is it possible to add more?
I’ve tried display_field='First Name, Last Name', display_field='First Name', 'Last Name', display_field='First Name; Last Name' and display_field='First Name'; 'Last Name'.

And yes indeed, as for the [user-search], the field “Email” in my search_fields argument is one I’ve created. No matter which field I insert into the search_fields argument, the returning error remains the same.
Looking forward to your solution!

Hi Preuss,

We’ve released an update, so that user-list should now take multiple fields, along the lines of:

[user-list display_field='First Name,Last Name']

We should have something for the user-search code later this week.

Thanks a lot again!
I’m sure, one day I’ll love your plugin more than I do now with WPMembers, but unfortunately these search and list features are most important for my needs and for now I (actually my customer) can’t wait any longer.
Be assured that I’ll come back!
