Is there a reason the output tags wouldn’t work within a reverse related entry block?

Nathan Pitman on May 12, 2011 at 2:34pm#3

Hi there, this is a great field type, is it at all compatible with Safecracker? :)

DDP on July 1, 2011 at 2:22am#5

Eli, your fieldtype is great. But, any chance you could update it to hook into Solspace’s User module, so it allows me to display their override screen name (they allow Member Custom Fields to be used to build custom screen names, like new default screen name built using: “user_first_name | user_last-name”).

Better yet, get Solspace to incorporate this fieldtype into User! Just an idea. Thanks.

Matt on July 1, 2011 at 4:23pm#7

Thanks for the code, Eli. But, no go—it outputs {screen_name} twice.

I think, for now, I will “fake” it, by utilizing real names as the screen name. I’m still in build-out and testing for the next few months, until a fix / alt method becomes available, so at least I can see output that’s what I intend. Thanks!

Eli,

I"m working with Solspace on a solution, via an EE Query. It’s almost there.

<div class=“module clearfix”>
  <h4>Mentions in this article…</h4>
  {if ‘{my_vz_member_field}’ != “”}
  {my_vz_member_field}
  [url=”{path=‘member/profile/“class=”” ]{exp:query sql=“SELECT m_field_id_1, m_field_id_2 FROM exp_member_data WHERE member_id = {id}”}{m_field_id_1} {m_field_id_2}{/exp:query}
  [/url]
  {/my_vz_member_field}
  {if:else}Surprisingly, no one.{/if}
</div>

Problem is, I’m getting a proper profile ID link, but what’s displaying is my name (admin, the logged in user). I suspect that {id} parsed inside the query is not the VZ Members {id}, rather the global EE {id}...???

Thanks for all of your assistance thus far.

Trying to use this with Safecracker. It seems to work when in a matrix field, but when used by itself it always says that “There are no member groups selected” even though they are.

Using it within Matrix adds an extra layer of loops to getting at the member data as none of this module’s custom fields seem to be available in the matrix loop. I’d really like to free this field to work on it’s own. Seems like just the ticket.

Any ideas if/what I’m doing wrong? Thanks!

Bryan Lewis on August 30, 2011 at 9:14pm#12

Figured it out!

The download link on GitHub is for the 1.0 version.
The only way to get 1.0.3 was to view your source files and update mine.

All working now!

EliVZ on August 31, 2011 at 3:30am#13

Bryan-

Glad you got it working. If you click “Download .zip” rather than selecting the 1.0 tagged version in GitHub, you should get the current version. If you didn’t… I don’t know why. I should probably remove that tag so as not to confuse people though.

Matthew Johnson on April 2, 2012 at 10:06pm#14

in EE2 is there a way to basically do this

{members_field:is_allowed members=”{member_field}”} ?

So in other words check to see if the current logged in user is one of the users that has been associated with the entry.

I’m trying to show the entry based on if the currently logged in member is in the {member_list} associated with a certain entry.

EliVZ on April 3, 2012 at 4:48pm#15

Matthew,

It’s actually even easier than that. You just need to use the current_member parameter to check if the logged in member is one of those selected in the fieldtype. So this should do what you want:

{members_field:is_allowed current_member=“yes”}

Matt Johnson on April 3, 2012 at 8:44pm#16

Question, what would it take to make the Field type a matrix view with sortable columns?

Send me an email if you want to converse about it there.

Bryan Crabtree on April 25, 2012 at 12:39am#17

I’m trying to figure out if this can be used with the channel entry search variable. Something like:
{exp:channel:entries channel=”{my_channel}” search:members_field=”={logged_in_member_id}”}

So basically the channel entries loop only shows the entries that have been assigned to current logged in member.

Thanks!

EliVZ on April 25, 2012 at 3:52pm#18

Bryan, I don’t see any reason that wouldn’t work. I haven’t actually tried it, but the member data is stored as a plain member ID (or pipe-delimited list of member IDs), so the search parameter should find it just fine.

Kevin on June 12, 2012 at 10:28pm#19

Hi EliVZ
I’m having a right headache. I’m just trying to display the trial coach name from a member list:


{exp:channel:entries channel=“teams” status=“open”}   
      {exp:playa:parents channel=“trial_dates”}
        {trial_info}
              {trial_date format=”%d %M %Y”}
              {trial_time format=”%H:%i”}
              {trial_coach}{screen_name}{/trial_coach}
        {/trial_info}
      {/exp:playa:parents}
{/exp:channel:entries}


This line {trial_coach}{screen_name}{/trial_coach} is causing PHP errors. However when I use {trial_coach} on by itself, i get the member ID. I can’t seem to convert it to the member name/screen name.

I hope you can help ;)

Hi
I’m a bit confused! I have a matrix field called ‘member_gallery’ for a private photo gallery. The vz members field is called ‘allow’. How do I check if the logged in member is one of those chosen in the allow field so they can view the images in the gallery?

Thanks

EliVZ on June 26, 2012 at 4:57pm#21

Alli,

So the Members field is outside of Matrix, and should affect the entire gallery? If so, you would need something like this:

{if “{allowed:is_allowed current_member=“yes”}”}
  {member_gallery}
      ...
  {/member_gallery}
{/if}</pre>

Alli on June 27, 2012 at 10:23am#22

Hi Eli
Thanks I was making it too complicated and trying to give permision on a photo to photo basis within the matrix!
One other thing, is there a way to change the check boxes to a multiple select dropdown - I have a huge number of members and the dropdown would be a much better option

EliVZ on June 27, 2012 at 6:13pm#23

That should be pretty easy to add. I’ll try to get an update out later this week.

I added your plugin inside a matrix tag and wanted to use the search:field_name = “{member_id}/W”  to get the current member’s entries.  It doesnt seem to be working.  Is there a work around? Thanks.

EliVZ on September 11, 2012 at 3:41am#27

Mike,

Have you seen this post? https://getsatisfaction.com/pixelandtonic/topics/searching_matrix_field_value_as_a_channel_entries_search_parameter

Take a look at Brandon’s first reply there… you need to make sure the Matrix column is set to searchable. Also, I believe you are looking for “\W” rather than “/W” - and you might also try it without that flag at all if you are still not getting any results. Let me know how you fare.

Eric Westbrook on November 1, 2012 at 7:53pm#28

Is there a way to order entries by a vzmember field by member:name instead of member:id? I want to be able to sort a list of clients alphabetically by their assigned members. i tried orderby=member:names with no luck and surprisingly can’t seem to find others looking to be able to do this.

Laisvunas on November 6, 2012 at 8:05am#30

I found a bug in the version 1.0.6 and posted the fix here: http://devot-ee.com/add-ons/support/vz-members/viewthread/7702
