Hello -

Is there any way to style the userlist? I was hoping to put more space between the labels and the data fields. I was able to bold the labels putting a <b> tag in the language file. But, since it's a table, I was hoping I could do more with it on spacing and alignment.

Thanks,

Glen

I believe the formatting is in comprofiler.html.php. Remember to back up first.

Hey Rapunzel -

You are very nice.

Thanks. I looked up the code, but I'm not sure what to do with it. I would like to align the data to the right to provide spacing between the label fields and the data. Currently, the userlist isn't very readable as the formatting is like below:

Name: Glen
Place of business: Orlando

I'm trying to get to look like this:

Name: Glen
Place of Business: Orlando

I'd have no problem doing that in HTML (of course), but I'm at a loss how to do this in the php. Here is the code I think is involved in the generation of the Userlist fields:


function getUserListCell( &$user, &$column, &$fields ) {
global $_PLUGINS;

$html = array();

foreach ( $column->fields as $fieldId ) {
$field = $fields[$fieldId];

$value = $_PLUGINS->callField( $field->type, 'getFieldRow', array( &$field, &$user, 'html', 'none', 'list' ), $field );

if ( $value !== null ) {
$title = '';
if ( $column->captions ) {
$title = '<span class="cbUserListFieldTitle cbUserListFT_' . $field->name . '">'
. $_PLUGINS->callField( $field->type, 'getFieldTitle', array( &$field, &$user, 'html', 'list' ), $field )
. ':'
. '</span> ';
}
// done at db query stage: $oField->params = new cbParamsBase( $oField->params );
$html[] = '<div class="cbUserListFieldLine">'
. $title
. '<span class="cbListFieldCont cbUserListFC_' . $field->name . '">'
. $value
. '</span>'
. '</div>';
}
}
return "\n\t\t\t\t" . implode( "\n\t\t\t\t", $html ) . "\n";
}

Does anyone have a recommended solution for how to improve the alignment?

Thanks,

Glen

I inserted a <hr> for each usre:


near line:887

echo "\t\t\t<td valign='top'>" . '<hr>' . HTML_comprofiler::getUserListCell( $user, $column, $allFields, $option_itemid ) . "</td>\n"; // vdLi


Here I inserted <i> ....... </i>

near line 928:

foreach ( $column->fields as $fieldId ) {
$field = $fields[$fieldId];
$name = $field->name;
$title = "";

if ( $column->captions ) {
// $title = getLangDefinition( $field->title ) . ': '; // vdLi
$title = '<i>' . getLangDefinition( $field->title ) . '</i>: '; // vdLi
}
$html[] = getFieldValue( $field->type, $user->$name, $user, $title, 0,
( $field->type=="predefined" ? sefRelToAbs("index.php?option=com_comprofiler&amp;task=userProfile&amp;user=" . $user->id . $option_itemid ) : null ) );
}
return implode( '<br />', $html );
}

This has got to be one of the most useful simple changes that could be implemented!!!!

As if by magic you can see a list with each user separated by a line - why is this not standard? With a long user list, it can get confusing which user you are reading about!

Can I recommend that this is added to newer versions. Thanks Raller!

Of course there is lots that can be done in the way of formatting of lists, but this is SO important for anyone that has any visual impairment.
