[SOLVED] Connect button on user list

Hi

This is a continuation from a previous post about adding a connection and remove connection button to the user list page, which only show depending on whether a connection has been made.

The previous posts can be found here: www.joomlapolis.com/forum/146-general/219309-purchasing-if-i-can-achieve-connect-button-on-user-list?start=6

I have installed CB Pro and CB Query Field.

Update:

Ok I have figured out I need to put the code below in the CB Query Field called cb_checkconn.

I then used the code below in a Delimiter Field to output the buttons.

This works in the profiles perfectly but in the user list the links don't show. What am I doing wrong here. Is there some header code required in the user list to show menu items? Or should I be outputting the connect and remove links differently?

Display the query field on userlist and see what the output is. Compare it to what you see on profile. Substitutions behave differently based off location.

Thanks for the reply.

I put the query field in the user list which outputs 0 for non connected user and 1 for connected user.

So this shows the query is functing correctly.

However the delimiter field which outputs the button shows nothing. If I change the delimiter field to the code below, then ADD CONNECTION is shown when the user is not connected and REMOVE CONNECTION is shown when a user is connected. This is how it should work.

So the issue is that the code below doesn't work on the user list page, probabaly because menus are not supported on the user list page. How can I get around this?

You would need to build them using HTML instead of the menu substitution, which doesn't work on userslists. Below is example of add/remove links with HTML.

Add Connection:
<a href="index.php?option=com_comprofiler&act=connections&task=addConnection&connectionid=[user_id]">Add Connection</a>

Remove Connection:
<a href="index.php?option=com_comprofiler&act=connections&task=removeConnection&connectionid=[user_id]">Remove Connection</a>

Thank you it worked perfectly. I also added an extra substitution if statement so the connect button doesn't show on the users own profile (see below).

One final question. When I click on the add connection button on the user list it then takes me to that persons profile. Would there be a way to make it so it stayed in the user list page?

Nope, the add connection function redirects to profile page.
