View Full Version : Memberlistsearch based on value of custom field in user's own profile.

Hello,

I'm looking for a way to create a link which searches in the memberlist for a value in a custom profile field (single selection menu).

That in itself is not so difficult. See for example here:
http://www.vbulletin.com/forum/showthread.php?t=169266

However: I want the value to search for to be the value which the current user has selected in their own profile.

More specific: I have a single selection menu for countries. I want a link which states: Click here to find all the users in your country.


That would be something like

memberlist.php?do=getall&field7=[somecode whichs gets the integer value belonging to the country of the user clicking the link]

Any idea how this could be done?

Any help would be appreciated.

Regards,

Walrick

Please note that "$bbuserinfo[field7]" doesn not work.

The field is a single-selection menu, which means that the value which is needed in the URL is an integer. But $bbuserinfo[field7] gives me not the integer but the actual contents of the field. That is what makes this a difficult case. Somehow I have to translate the contents of the user's profile field into the corresponding integer.
