I would like to see yet another variation on this theme.

I would like to see the "Advanced Search" form (for searching the FORUMS, not just the memberlist) include one or two of the custom user profile fields.

Practical example:

Four of my forums are used for classified advertising.

Two custom fields in the user profile are CITY and STATE (separated, rather than the combined "Location" field).

I would like to include these two fields next to the USER NAME field in the Advanced Search form, such that my users could search, for example, as follows:

"Display all threads/posts in one or all (4) of the Classified ad forums, posted by users from Colorado, for the word 'widget'."

Or find a transmission in Dallas, or an axle from someone named Joe in Kentucky, etc. (My site is automotive-related, obviously.)

The Advanced Search form is alredy doing a cross-table query, right? Selecting posts from one table, based on info from a separate user table?

I would happily hire someone for such a hack.

Regards,

Bill

that's a mod for the search function, not for the memberlist. You are better of putting it on the modification request forum, and as I read your post it is something rather complicated. It is a good idea, though.

This works in 3.0.1

Installed

i've noticed an odd an annoying quirk.

if i go thru the search it'll display "Members of User Group: XXXXX" at the top of the results.

however, if i do a direct link it simply says "Members of User Group:". the user group name is missing.

does anyone have an idea how to keep the user group name appearing with a direct link?

^ yes, got the same problem here :ermm:

i did all the file edits, and even reedited it, but when i search a usergroup i get the following:

The usergroup you are searching for was not found

even if i directly link to the usergroup ID i get the same. running vb 3.0.3

is there a way to show me how to do this with a drop down? I dont expect people to spell the usergroup name.
Thanks.

can anyone help me with my problem, or just send me there modifyed memberlist file?

hello?

How would I edit this to make the group not have to be joinable?
