Associated fields

Associated fields was created by tiekubd
I want to create 3 fields that are tied to each other.
Field 1 is a city
Filed 2 is the year you entered the city
Field 3 is the year you left the city

How can this be done such that I can then search and say give me all users who visited London between 1990 and 1999 for example?

You can use CB Conditional for that. So basically Field 3 shows if Field 2 has a value and Field 2 shows if Field 1 has a value. See the below for CB Conditional tutorials.

Search shouldn't require any special configuration beyond ensuring those fields are set searchable and on your userlist. Then when searching your userlist specify that criteria. See the below regarding userlist configuration.

I want to create a drop down field using values from a column in an existing cb table.
Specifically I want users to be able select the name of other site users from the drop down.

More than likely what you're trying to post is triggering mod_security. Avoid including large chunks of code in posts.

You need CB Query Field for that. The Query Select fieldtype builds its dropdown options from the database query you supply. So you could have it query for the name of other users. Example as follows.

SELECT DISTINCT `name` FROM `#__users` WHERE `id` != '[user_id]'

I don't really recommend this if your site has a lot of users as you could end up with a dropdown with thousands of options.
