Member List Tag

Overview

Outputs a searchable list of members, including form filters to sort and limit the members.

Parameters

backspace=

backspace="3"

The backspace= parameter will remove the specified number of characters, including spaces and line breaks, from the last iteration of the tag pair.

error_handling="inline"

error_handling="inline"

This parameter allows you to use inline errors in your registration form. The errors can be displayed using the {error:field_name} tag where field_name would need to be replaced with the name of the field that has an error, as used to compose the form.

form_class=

form_class="login"

This parameter allows you to specify the class attribute for the search <form> tag.

form_id=

form_id="login"

This parameter allows you to specify the id attribute for the search <form> tag.

form_name=

form_name="login"

This parameter allows you to specify a name attribute for the search <form> tag.

limit=

limit="30"

Allows you to limit the number of members displayed. When not set, defaults to Member List - Rows setting or memberlist_row_limit configuration override

orderby=

orderby="screen_name"

The “orderby” parameter sets the display order of members. The possible options for this parameter are the built-in member fields - including, but not limited to: - member_id - role_id - screen_name - email - join_date - last_visit - last_activity - total_entries - total_comments - last_entry_date - last_comment_date

When not set, defaults to Member List - Order setting or memberlist_order_by configuration override

role_id=

role_id="5"

Restrict the output to members that belong to certain role.

This parameter replaces group_id which is functionally identical and currently still supported.

sort=

sort="asc"
sort="desc"

Set the order in which members are displayed. When not set, defaults to Member List - Sort By setting or memberlist_sort_order configuration override

return=

return="member/memberlist"

return_error=

return_error="template_group/error"

This parameter is for use with form validation and error handling and determines the template to return to if validation errors are detected.
