Purchasing if I can achieve connect button on user list

I have tried these tutorials and they only work in the profile. If I try and add the delimiter field in to the user list it no longer functions. That is the same for all tab substitutions not to mention the connect button is not a individual tab but instead it is locked into the cb menu.

It is however possible to use the code on my previous post to directly access the connect button. But it does not function properly in the user list (does not dissapear when users are already connected). The fact that this works on the profile and not on the user lists suggests their is missing functionality on the user list which will prevent me from acheiving this.

I will have to take your word that your developers will be able to help me make these changes. As I believe it will require an overhall of the code that generates the user list to allow for the level of functionality required above. Although I am a bit concerned that you were not aware that tab substitution or the conditional javascript in my previous post is not possible in the user list.

I asked Kyle to respond here and one thing he mentioned is:

his original post already highlighted how it's done, but you can't use the message feature with it.. nor will it change after usage
he needs to change connectionid={fld id} to connectionid=[user_id] though

I am aware this code works but only to a point. The connections link does not dissapear when a user has already connected with a user. I see Kyle said "nor will it change after usage". So are you now saying a fully functioning connection button is not possible in the user list view?

So just to clarify.

Is it possible to have a connection button on the user list view which only appears next to users that they have not connected with yet.

As suggested in your previous post which states this functionality is not possible. Would it be under the scope of a pro subscription to get this working as I originaly intended.

You'd need to design a field that works the same as the menu link so you can display it on all locations a field can be displayed. Alternative is as follows.

If you want it to change its state you could try using CB Query Field (professional subscriber plugin) to query the database and return the connection status of the viewing user to the displayed user. You'd then use that in a substitution IF statement to display a different link if a connection is already established. Example of this usage as follows.

Field: cb_checkconn
Query:
[cb:if cb_checkconn>"0"]REMOVE CONNECTION[/cb:if]
[cb:if cb_checkconn="0"]ADD CONNECTION[/cb:if]

This could of course be extended much further for example you could return an IF select that checks the status of the connection so you could display a remove, add, accept, or deny link based off the status.

Thank you very much for your time and patience. I have let the client know that this can be achieved with a professional subscription and hopefuly they will be happy to incur the extra cost.
