Remove pagination from Member List

[LoRoller]

I'm not searching for email addresses - I'm searching for information in the custom profile column.

Allow me to explain....

We are using the board as an intranet for our non-profit. The organization is a group of members with various skills and experiences. In the custom profile fields, we created several new fields (dropdown boxes) for business and industry experience. When members register they fill in those fields. Those fields are all exposed in the member list.

Then, when other members need those skills, they can just bring up the member list and use the browser search to find all occurrences of that skill.

It IS kind of hacky, but it worked really well - until it started paginating. Now the searcher has to rerun the search on every page.

This is a bit hacky but will do what you want.

Open:
memberlist.php

Find: (should be line 1419)
$start = $pagination->validate_start($start, $config['topics_per_page'], $total_users);

Before add:

Code: Select all

$config['topics_per_page'] = $config['num_users'];
$total_users = $config['num_users'];

Not quite... Got to a certain point (likely the bottom of what was originally page 1) and stopped. Said page 1 of 1 but there are additional members that are not showing. I have it in alphabetical order sequence.

In this case, the last member to show had the name "Robert". When I clicked on the letter "T", a member named "Thomas" showed up.

$config['topics_per_page'] = (int) $total_users; to be short.

there are additional members that are not showing.

User shown are in the

Code: Select all

$user_types = array(USER_NORMAL, USER_FOUNDER);

if ($auth->acl_get('a_user'))
{
	$user_types[] = USER_INACTIVE;
}

Sure those user aren't in a different type? If you are an admin you can see also inctive users, that means.

At this point (during rollout) all members other than admins are the same type. And the alphabetical cutoff is pretty obvious.

FWIW, I've decided to bite the bullet and just change the Topics Per Page / Posts Per Page parameters in the ACP. Most forums and threads won't go that deep that it would create performance issues, and I frankly prefer to get all of a topic's posts on a single page anyway. Setting them both to 100 (we have around 90 members) resolves the pagination issue in the member list.

I very much appreciate the help that folks on this board gave me.

Thanks.
