Is there any way to get an array with all the registered users on the forum that I can loop through in javascript. I need to create a list of users with just the usernames, both those logged in and not logged in.

Do you mean like the memberlist?

I am trying to create a user base for RumbleTalk chat. They have an api which allows creation of users from an existing userbase. For this I need an array with all the member names of the forum. Seen we have over 400 members on our forum this is a huge task to do manually. So I was wondering if there is a variable I can use, like as an example _userdata.username (which returns the active users name) but which returns the full list of members (just the names). Or a work around to achieve this.

Maybe this will give you an example: http://fmdesign.forumotion.com/t1124-_userdata-usergroup ?

No that didn't help. Still not understanding how to get a memberlist.

I know that this topic is kinda dead, but if you (or anyone) wants the code:

Code:

/*globals jQuery*/
 
/**
 * Retrieves a list of all usernames and outputs it in the browser console.
 *
 * You must run it in the /memberlist page through the browser console.
 *
 * @author Kyo Panda

(function($) {
   'use strict';
   
   var config = {
      /**
       * How many members pages should the script fetch?
       *    Set it to -1 to fetch all pages.
       */
      limit: 5,
      
      /**
       * How long, in milliseconds, should the script wait before
       * fetching a new page?
       *    It's recommended to set it above 3000 to avoid FA request
       *    throttling.
       */
      wait: 3000
   };
   
   $(function() {
      var last = ~~$('.pagination a:last')
         .prev()
         .attr('href')
         .split('start=')
         .pop()
         .split('&')
         .shift()
      ;
      
      var index = 0;
      
      var end = config.limit > -1 ?
         Math.min(config.limit, last / 30 + 1) : last / 30 + 1;
         
      var users = [];
      var promises = [];
      
      var done = function() {
         $.when.apply(null, promises).then(function() {
            console.log('["' + users.join('", "') + '"]');
         });
      };
      
      var interval = setInterval(function() {         
         console.log('Loading page', index / 30 + 1, 'of', end);
         
         var promise = $.get('/memberlist', {
            change_version: 'modernbb',
            mode: 'joined',
            start: index,
         }, function(context) {
            $('.avatar-mini', context).each(function() {
               users.push($(this).text().trim());
            });
         });
         
         promises.push(promise);
         
         if (index === (end - 1) * 30) {
            clearInterval(interval);
            done();
         }
         
         index += 30;
      }, config.wait);
   });
}(jQuery));

Further instructions are in the code. o/

no thx, I had found a work around but this might help too

@Fildragon is this now solved?

If yes please tell us how you did this and then mark your thread as solved so we can lock it

I don't know why, but I mark the topics as solved and it doesn't get accepted. Then I come back and see it is not marked as solved. I used the current active user to create their own chat login. Was not the best solution but it works.
