Rearrange Memberlist columns?
 

I was wondering how I could reorder or rearrange the columns on the Memberlist page. I tried just moving/removing the If conditions around in the table, but all that did was rearrange the names of the columns at the top, not actually rearrange the columns them selves.

I have also selected to show custom user profile fields on the memberlist page, however, I do not want them all showing up. Is there a way I can select which ones appear on the page? I believe this is the code that is adding all the fields...

Thanks for any help!

Hey there! I literally JUST figured out how to do exactly what you are doing and it took a good amount of time to figure it out. So here's what I did...

There are actually two templates you need to edit to accomplish moving the tables around. Open up memberlist and memberlist_resultsbit (this is using 3.8.3). Memberlist template is where you move the column headers. Memberlist_resultsbit is where you move the columns (td tags). I don't have time to explain in great detail, but if you compare the two templates, they are very similar and you can find where they work hand in hand.

I wanted to add only specific custom fields to my memberlist too. I wanted to add a column for the State the user lived in. It was a bit complicated, but I made notes for myself. I will copy them here and hopefully it will help you. Note where it says "state" you can call that whatever your field is.

Do not enable custom profile fields on the home page through the vB options control panel. Leave that unchecked or it will display all of them.

To add a single new custom field that is displayed on the memberlist page....

Use the custom profile field option to create a new field. Note the field name.

You need to edit the memberlist_resultsbit template and add the new column. Note: this template may be named memberlistbit in older vB installs (I think).

- <td class="$bgclass">$userinfo[field7]</td> (this makes new column)

- Note: "field7" is changed to reflect the name of the new field you created.

then edit the memberlist template to add the column header/title

- <td class="thead" nowrap="nowrap">$vbphrase[state]</td> (this adds the new column header)

- Note: "state" is changed to reflect the name of the new field you created and used to call the vb phrase. Use phrase manager to create this phrase and then reference it: $vbphrase[state] (or hand type in the title instead of using a phrase)

I don't give instructions a lot here so forgive me if it's not that great. I just popped on to get help with something else. LOL!

Thanks Jessica! That worked perfectly.

Oh, actually I seem to have a little problem. See the attached image showing the black table cell. How do I get that filled in with the correct image?
