template editing - excellent

[Dafydd]

Just thought i'd add a bit.

Once I'd got my head around the scripting processes of php (not too hard) I've started to make background changes to vshare's templates.

templates_c/users.tpl.php

One area I needed to change was the Users display to include the First and Last names of members. this task proved reasonably easy by adding first of all between the Name & Country sections. (from line 53+):

<td>FIRST
<a href='users.php?a=<?php echo $_REQUEST['a']; ?>
&status=<?php echo $_REQUEST['status']; ?>
&sort=fname+asc'>[img]<?php echo $this->_tpl_vars[[/img]
/templates/images/up.gif' border='0'></a>
<a href='users.php?a=<?php echo $_REQUEST['a']; ?>
&status=<?php echo $_REQUEST['status']; ?>
&sort=fname+desc'>[img]<?php echo $this->_tpl_vars[[/img]
/templates/images/down.gif' border='0'></a>
</td>
<td>LAST
<a href='users.php?a=<?php echo $_REQUEST['a']; ?>
&status=<?php echo $_REQUEST['status']; ?>
&sort=lname+asc'>[img]<?php echo $this->_tpl_vars[[/img]
/templates/images/up.gif' border='0'></a>
<a href='users.php?a=<?php echo $_REQUEST['a']; ?>
&status=<?php echo $_REQUEST['status']; ?>
&sort=lname+desc'>[img]<?php echo $this->_tpl_vars[[/img]
/templates/images/down.gif' border='0'></a>
</td>

Next after you've added the above script add this in from line 142

<td><?php echo $this->_tpl_vars['users'][$this->_sections['aa']['index']]['fname']; ?>
</td>
<td><?php echo $this->_tpl_vars['users'][$this->_sections['aa']['index']]['lname']; ?>
</td>

Please note the line count alters when the first section is added.

Hope the info helps someone.

hmm why not just change the user.tpl in the templates directory?

[Dafydd]

Leki,

Not sure I get what you mean.

I wanted the spreadsheet style display of the membership "users" to include their first and last name. I cant see how i can make that sort of change in the templates/user.tpl

If i can... please indicate where... cant see it....

maybe i dont get what you mean

do you mean the profile page?

can you give a link?

[Dafydd]

ha.... no not the profile page. It's the admin section, a list of members - displaying 20 on a page...which I'd like to up as well.

[leki]

ahh...well it should be easier to edit \templates\admin\users.tpl to do the changes. I think the files in templates_c are generated from the .tpl files

[Dafydd]

Thanks...I'll check up on what you've mention.

Thank you for the support leki... appreciated.
