Linking a specific User List to a menu item.

I can't work out why I can't achieve this!!! How do you link a specific user group to a menu item? I have tried selecting a comprofiler>user list menu item, however it won't let me alter the link to call a specific list.

I have also tried using System Links> External URL as the menu item, but I am not sure of the code. I've tried:

index.php?option=com_comprofiler&task=userslist&list=5

This only calls all the user lists (same as index.php?option=com_comprofiler&task=userslist).

Any help appreciated

Edit your userlist and grab the direct link then copy that direct link (beginning with index.php) to an External Joomla menu link. The link you're currently using is incorrect as it's not &list, but is &listid.

Please note if Joomla SEF is enabled it will strip Itemid from external links even if they point to Internal URLs.

Thanks Kyle,

Is there any way to do this without having to disable SEF URL's?

I've tried copying the URL of the list from my browser address bar once it has been selected from the drop down menu of the comprofiler search menu but it still brings up the complete list of users... ie:

index.php?option=com_comprofiler&task=usersList&Itemid=126&limitstart=0&search=&cbsecuritym3=cbm_55ffe18e_1f135c71_61f229c9a7ad7ef79d33d21afd2c2e14&listid=5&name=&cb_suburb=&cb_state=

Create an internal menu link to CBs userlist then edit within _menus database and append &listid=ID to the URL.

You don't copy from the browser address bar. You edit the userlist in userlist management and copy one of the links given to you at the top of the edit userlist page.

Create an internal menu link

do you mean Edit Menu Item>Select a Menu Item Type: comprofiler>User lists ?
Where do I find the _menus database?


It's strange, with SEF URL's disabled all 7 of my user lists are displayed individually as an eternal menu link (as intended) but with SEF URL's enabled, 6 of the lists are still called correctly, but one always displays the entire user list!!!

Yes.

Where do I find the _menus database?

In your Joomla database. User phpmyadmin or whatever database management software your host provides.

Check what the difference is between all 6 and that 1 that does not display properly. If using 3rd party SEF remove the rewrite rule for that 1 menu link and see if it fixes it.
