Link to specific userlist doesnt work

18 years 2 months ago #6632 by Nils
I have a problem with linking specific userlists.

I basically copied the url from the browser after choosing a specific list and used that url in my menu to link to that list.
Problem: I always get the same (not the default) list displayed.
Checked twice that I didn't mess up the links and the listid's are actually the correct ones in the links (=same as in list manager)


/* EDIT: Saw that this has been fixed on next release:
A user on my webpage has actually brought up this point:

No matter what list you choose to display you always get
"[Site Name] has X [X = users on active list] users"
For me it would make more sense to have
"
    has X users"

    Since X is the number of users in the active list and the number of users on my site doesn't change just by selecting another list ;) */

    Thank you for your great work. Keep it up!

Hi

I had the same issue but it's got an easy enough workaround.

In the URL of the page showing the listing, the &listid value is the list number you want to point to. Therefore, if the copied link doesn't work (points to the wrong list), manually edit the listid value until you get the right one.

The listid value can be found by looking at your list of CB lists. Add 2 to the "list number" shown in the first column. For example, I edited my URL link to be listid=5 because my list to point to is number 3 on the list. Why add 2? I don't know but it works.
