Previously, I had a menu item of type 'Community Builder » userslist' that linked to a page that displayed the CB User Lists. The actual lists displayed was different for each user and depended on the user's access level, and the lists' access level. Many users just had one list displayed.
I'm trying to reduce the number of user groups, and so am trying to achieve similar functionality using CB fields.
Is there any way to do this ?
I have a CB field which is a 'Query Check Box (Multiple)'.
The check boxes correspond to the user groups, so I just want to show the appropriate list(s) based on which are checked.
The best I could come up with was an article that has a line something like:
[cb:if cb_teams includes "1"]<a href="index.php?option=com_comprofiler&view=userslist&listid=12&searchmode=1">Click here to see list 12</a> [/cb:if]</p>
I use a line similar to this for each list.
Then I have an 'Articles » Single Article' menu item that links to this article.
Whilst this works, its not a great user experience. Since most people only have one list, its quite strange that they have the extra click to get to it.
I was just wondering if there was a better way to do this.
Userlist access is based off a view access level only. Best I can suggest is maybe using CB Auto Actions to redirect away from a userlist they don't have access to. You should be able to act on onBeforeDisplayUsersList to do this. Its variables are as follows.
To condition against a specific userlist you'd condition against [var6] which contains the userlist id. Aside from that I recommend considering adding a usergroup based off field value using CB Auto Actions so you can do ACL based checks instead of just field based.
