Can one pass a parameter to cb lists ?

By way of example, if I set up a cb list that includes all registered users, is it possible to pass a link to that report to use as a parameter to the filter field and thus produce a report with a single record for a specific user?

You want to add a parameter to the userlist URL and it use it to automatically search a field? If I understand correctly that's what you want, yes you can do this. Example as follows using username field.

index.php?option=com_comprofiler&task=usersList&limitstart=0&search=&listid=6&username=test

The above will search the userlist with a listid of 6 on the username field for the phrase "test". To search other fields you basically just append them to the URL as (e.g. &cb_myfield=123).

Just the job, Kyle. Many thanks for that. Just to wrap up, is it possible to add the 'enabled' field form #__users to the cb user lists? We disable someone who does not renew their membership and many renew later. It would polish the thing off if we could pick that field up as well.

Unfortunately no. CB Userlists do not show unconfirmed, unapproved, blocked, or banned users. Only way to change this is using a new CB plugin to act on the userlist query and remove those checks from the WHERE statement of the query.

And such a plug in doesn't exist I gather? I wonder if I am up to writing one.

Thanks anyway

Correct, it'd need to be a trigger based plugin, which you can find information on in the below tutorial.

Unfortunately CB Auto Actions can't do this as it doesn't pass variables by reference so you won't be able to modify the query from it.
