I don't mean to hijack the thread, but this is related, I think:

How to link from the Company Name in the CB Users List to the SOBI profile of the company? Maybe there's a SOBI function for that, but would it work outside of SOBI?

Thanks for any guidance.

Link? You mean a clickable link? This can be done with a delimiter field. Please see the following substitution.

[code:1]
<span class="cbClicksInside"><a href="URL">[cb_companyname]</a></span>
[/code:1]

Notice the special class added. This allows links to actually be click-able without sending you to the users profile.

Am not sure how you'd need to structure the URL, but the above is certainly how you'd need to structure the delimiter. Of course replace the field name with your actual fields name if is incorrect.

If the field isn't required you many want to add a more complex substitution to ensure the field isn't blank before trying to add such a URL. Please see Tutorials within my signature for further Substitution information.

If more complex evaluation is necessary to create the link then there is no easy approach unfortunately. You'd need to create a new Fieldtype plugin in order to add a field which would do as you're needing.

Thanks.

Yeah, I meant a clickable link, sorry.

I looked in CB List Management, but I don't see how to use a delimiter field in the list.

Meanwhile, I'll also be looking for the code from the SOBI CB plugin, which creates the company (clickable) link in the CB Tab.

Combining this code with the delimeter field should do what I am looking for.

Adding a delimiter field to a userlist is done in the same manner any field is added to a userlist. Simply move it to a column of which you prefer. The field of course needs to be on a tab that is published.
