Description of problem

If possible I would like the default view of the Members list (when first clicking to it) to be sorted by Username and ordered in Ascending.

I would also like the Website category of the members to be removed.

Lastly, under the sort feature, I would like to remove sort by User groups, if possible.

Thank you in advance to anyone who can help me out on any or all of these!

Hello @AnyColor

Could you please allow guests to see this page?
http://pwgenesis.forumotion.com/memberlist

I think I have an idea about how to do it but I'd need to check this section out if you don't mind. However, if you don't want to open that page to guest you can send me by PM a test account.

Best regards.

@mpelmmc, he changed it just recently as there was another thread that is now archived asking for help regarding the permissions for guests on this matter.

@AnyColor, I tried searching around Forumotion and I do not know if this is possible, I did find another thread linked below that explains a bit about this though their issue may be a bit different but I think it still applies.

Link to thread: https://help.forumotion.com/t122236-member-list-display

Hope this helps!

Cheers,

@mpelmmc I just changed the memberlist settings so guests can see. Hope that helps your idea in mind

@jadster thanks for that link i couldn’t find anything on the topic when i searched. I’ll dig through the posts and links in it and see if I can have it work for me.

I would also like the Website category of the members to be removed.

go to templates ...memberlist_body...find this

Code:


<th class="tc2">{L_JOINED}</th>
                     <th class="tc2">{L_VISITED}</th>
                     <th class="tc3">{L_POSTS}</th>
                     <th class="tc3">{L_PM}</th>
                                                        <th class="tc2">{L_WEBSITE}</th>


and delete this <th class="tc2">{L_WEBSITE}</th>

Also find the following code in the same template @skouliki told you above and find this:

Code:

<tr>
            <td width="100%">{L_USER_SELECT}&nbsp;<input type="text" class="post" name="username" maxlength="25" size="20" value="{L_USER_SELECT_VALUE}" />&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;
            {L_SELECT_SORT_METHOD}&nbsp;{S_MODE_SELECT}&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;
            {L_ORDER}&nbsp;{S_ORDER_SELECT}&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;
            {S_HIDDEN_SID}
            <input class="liteoption" type="submit" name="submit" value="{L_SUBMIT}" /></td>
         </tr>

Then change it into:

Code:

<tr>
            <td width="100%">{L_USER_SELECT}&nbsp;<input type="text" class="post" name="username" maxlength="25" size="20" value="{L_USER_SELECT_VALUE}" />&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;
            <select name="mode"><option value="username" selected="selected">Username</option><option value="lastvisit">Last visit</option><option value="joined">Join date</option><option value="interests">Time Zone</option><option value="posts">Posts</option><option value="website">Website</option><option value="groups">Usergroups</option></select>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;
            <select name="order"><option value="ASCD" selected="selected">Ascending</option><option value="DESC">Descending</option></select>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;
            {S_HIDDEN_SID}
            <input class="liteoption" type="submit" name="submit" value="{L_SUBMIT}" /></td>
         </tr>

And let us know if it works

Best regards.

Do not forgot to save the changes and then publish the modified template.

@mpelmmc I replaced that in the template and it changes the default choices to Username and Ascending but I have to click OK to sort it to that screen. It still visibly shows Last Activity date as default when first clicking members tab. Thank you for getting me on the right track!

@skouliki thank you that did remove the website column from the Members page.

Any possible way to tweak it so the default view is username and ascending ? So close lol
