CB User List - Creating Link to Different List With Users Having Similar Field Value

I have users who share the same value for a specific field on their profile.

I would like to show this field value on a user list, and have that field value be clickable to another list that would include all users with that specific value in that field.

Example:
I have 6 users who share a the same value for a field. I do a search and find one of those users. On that user list, that specific field shows (as I have specified it to show on that list). When I click on that value it takes me to a list with all the users that have that same value.

I'm thinking I can use the "URL for search link to this list:" and append the value of this field to that link in order to open a new list.

Is there a way to do this?

Depends on the type of field. If the field is a select type with limited values you can do this using IF substitutions in a delimiter field to display the field. Then add the delimiter field to your userlist. Example as follows.

What if it's text based?

Can't I use a delimiter field and use substitutions twice? once as the text and the second as part of the href of the search URL?

So for example if it's a text based ID of sorts that other users share, I would render the substitution in the delimiter twice. Once as the link's text, and again as part of the search URL.

How do I make sure it renders the field value of that specific user that is being listed (not the one who is viewing? Do I have to do anything special or just use a normal substitution?

If it's a text field then it won't work very well, because you're trying to condition specific userlists based off user supplied content. I suppose one way you could do this is force the userlist into search mode and re-supply the search criteria. Example as follows.


This will cause the userlist with the supplied LIST_ID_HERE to be display and be pre-searched with the field of your choosing as its criteria.

How do I make sure it renders the field value of that specific user that is being listed (not the one who is viewing? Do I have to do anything special or just use a normal substitution?

Just a normal substitution in a delimiter field.

In theory that's exactly what I wanted and I would think it will work fine. Why do you say it won't work very well? Anything I should be cautious of?
