Extending or Using Lists more

Hi...

I want to replace SOBI with CB so my fields are well integrated and clients don't have to keep filling out forms. I have CB Subs with different styles of profiles available. I'm thinking I'll create a list for every directory item and setup the filter according to custom fields.

Is there a way I can duplicate lists and re-edit them? Is there a plugin that helps me treat the list in a layout mode so I can make a landing page of all lists available?

There's no list copy feature. So only way to do this is navigate to your database, export the userlist row, remove the id, then insert and it'll generate a new id and add the copy to database; now back to CB backend and you should have 2 of the same userlist. A copy feature in various locations is planned for a later release however.

No, but it maybe possible as there's multiple triggers available for CB and that includes for userlists. You could also just link to a Joomla article page and in the article have a link to your userlist. Each userlist can also have its own description when editing the userlist if that's all you're wanting.
