Drupal members list

Jan 23, 2007 in drupal, members, user list

*Update Aug 25, 2008* This article only applies to Drupal 4.7. It has been updated for Drupal 5 and Drupal 6 in the article "Creating a list of users".

In my search for a module to display a sortable list of users, I came across a number of options. The profile module (Drupal 4.7 core) grants a simple list of users, sorted on the date they last visited. The user_list module grants more options, better theming options and an API, but does not include the fields created by the profile module for instance. The members module does all this, and allows listing by role. This module has no version for Drupal 4.7 or Drupal 5 though, so I upgraded it myself.

The upgrade itself was pretty easy, only for once change: Since Drupal 4.7 'authenticated user' role is assigned to anyone who is currently logged in. This role id is not inserted into the users_roles table anymore. When selecting this role, you basically select all registered users. So after implementing this, I had a nicely working version of the members module for Drupal 4.7. Thanks to jadwigo, there is also a version for Drupal 5.0!

*Update Mar 19, 2007* Walkah has added these versions to the drupal members project.

This is nice and I see you

This is nice and I see you posted to the issue queue about this. Perhaps you would take over maintainership (or co-maintaining) with Walkah?

Hi, thanks for the update on members, I'd enjoy a lot this module.
What about posting it at drupal.org, it'll be easier to find it ;)

Currently I'm interested in adding some features to be able to manage big directories, so I posted a few thoughts at drupal.org if you have a little time to review them and any comment it would certainly help me.

Regards

Thanks a billion for this.

Thanks a billion for this. I really like the members module and have been annoyed that it wasn't upgraded for Drupal 5. There's nothing else that gives a simple, straight forward table listing of members and their profile details.

access not restricted by role

I also use this module. Thank you!
My problem is, if I try to restrict the access to a role created myself, it does not work. All authenticated user can see this page. But I need to hide this page from the people and to show it to the management.

My system: MySQL-Datenbank 5.0.18, PHP 5.1.2, Webserver Apache/2.2.3 (Linux/SUSE),

Do you have any advice?

Contributed to d.o

I would like to add that both the 4.7 and 5 versions are available now from http://drupal.org/project/members. Many thanks go to walkah for putting them online and branching them. He also granted me access to cvs so I will be tracking bugs and features there.

I contacted Walkah about it and asked what he thought about co-maintaining the module, thanks for the tip.

Walkah is aware of this

Walkah is aware of this update. From what I can see he needs some time to review it before he publishes it. I'mll certainly take a look at your post on d.o.

There is already a ticket on this: Access control broken for blocks. Feel free to post your follow-up there since I didn't get a confirmation things were still broken.

I just talked to walkah on IRC. He said, "i've actually got a co-maintainer in my inbox - and some patches to review and commit." So, it looks like you'll be made co-maintainer soon. And 4.7 and 5.0 branches are on the way.

What about publishing your update on drupal.org ?
I found it googling, but if it's available (even as a non official port) on the issue list, it's a time saver.

I've just updated my issue with a little patch again your 5.x version.

Thanks for the notice :) It appears that Junyor is also commited to patching both 4.7 and 5.0.

Good Option

I had an intranet to build for members, and used this method. Thanks for the tip.
