A Little Success

In my participant Info Fields I have created a new field called Record. I have set this field to a ‘Link Field’ with the value of ‘View Record’.

In the Participants Database – List Participants I have clicked on the edit symbol for one of the records.

In the record option I have put in the URL of https://u3aswansea.co.uk/single-member/?pdb=6 / in the Link Test I have entered ‘View Record’

When I look at the table at the front end (The page with [pdb_list]) I see the value ‘View Record’ in one of my rows. When I click on this it does go to the individual record.

Is this how its meant to work.

If so does that mean I have to enter the URL into every record where ?pdb=ID Number

If that is the way then it will be a huge task.

I just hope that there is a quicker way

I have put the shortcode on a separate [pdb_single] and I know that say record number 6 can be called by https://u3aswansea.co.uk/single-member/?pdb=6

What I can’t work out is how I link the pages or call the individual page from [pdb_list]

Thanks

Yes I’ve done that and it doesn’t work. Please try it.
Thanks

I’ve exported my users from the WordPress dashboard via CSV, configured the fields and imported them using CSV into the Participants Database. I use the shortcode [pdb_list filter=”zip=SA1*”] in my page to see the members from various postal areas in the front end. It works but it is a bit of a pain.

Is there a way and it would be great if I could see my WordPress users using Participants Database without going through this CSV export / import routine.

I found the plugin to be exactly what I’m looking for, except for this one limitation.

Thank you

Yes a user being able to belong to more than one group is essential. Does anyone know a plugin which handles multi group membership?

Hi Thomas
Yes this works, but so does the other CSS code I’ve shown. The CSS code changes the Forum Title but unfortunately changes the sub-forum titles too. I want the sub-forum titles to remain as they are and just set the Forum Title to bold.
Thanks again

Hi Thomas
Just installed the update and disabled the login, logout and register buttons. Absolutely fantastic. A great improvement and thanks for adding this facility.
Cheers

Hi Asgaros
Yes the Logout Feature does bring me back to my current page. However the Logout function is then replaced with the Login function and the Register function, which both takes the user to the backend. I’m sure that developers would not wish the user to visit the backend. I go to some lengths to keep users out of the backend. It’s just a shame that this new facility in the forum takes the user to the backend. Is there any way I can disable the Login, Logout and Register functions whilst retaining the other functions in your new facility.

By the way, the new facility is a great improvement.

Thanks

Many Thanks.

That routine you sent me works great. Thanks for that too.

Hi Asgaros

I wasn’t sure if I needed to re-submit this

I have changed the color of my forum using the Forum Options page. This changes the solid bars (background color) with the Category and Last Post which is great. However, it also changes the Forum Name within each Category which I don’t want.
I’ve tried to change these forum names with CSS and div.forum-name {color: blue;} but that does not work. Can you let me know how I can change these colors with CSS please.

You gave me the following code as a suggestion but unfortunately it doesn’t work. I put the code at the end of my CSS files and also tried a few combinations but with no luck.

#af-wrapper .forum-name a {
color: blue; }

Do you have anything else I could try.

Many Thanks

PS
One thought I had was – Perhaps these Forum Names should fall under ‘Text Color’ instead of ‘Forum Color’. That would make sense and would solve the problem.

That doesn’t work unfortunately. I put it at the end of my CSS file. I also tried a few variations. Do you have any other suggestions please.

Many Thanks

If you go into a forum post it lists the name of the author for that particular post, so all the necessary information is available – it’s just a question of organising the data in a different way in order to create and display a list of all site members together with the number of topics and the number of messages that each site member has created.

I thought that this might be an extension of the excellent routine which you have already provided. I have installed your routine on several of my websites and it looks very good.

Hi Yworld

The routine is working great now and I would recommend it to all users of Asgaros Forum.

By the way, with regard to Messages Created do you mean Replies?

Now that we have a routine to determine the Number of Topics and Messages for each User, it would be great to extend the routine to determine the Topics and Messages for ALL users and display them in a list or table, such as.

Name..Topics..Messages
Fred..23……45
John..67……89
Jim
etc
etc

Is that possible?

Thanks again

Success YWorld

I would definitely recommend this function.

Just one little thing
When the User has more than 0 messages it displays
Topics Created: 45
Messages Created: 67

However when the user has zero topics etc it displays
Topics Created: 0 Messages Created: 0

all on the same line.
How do I force a line break in php

Thanks again

Hi YWorld

This is a great routine which mosts people should add to their forum.

I’ve installed the new code but now it gives a ‘0’ regardless of how many topics or messages have been posted by the user. It’s reading $cnt as 0 all the time.

It was giving the correct number of Topics and Messages on the previous coded function but didn’t show when it was 0

Cheers
