Great work, thanks for this.

Just found out a typo in Line 43 of components/com_k2/templates/default/users.php

Should be $this->params->get('userImageWidth'); instead of $this->params->get('usersImageWidth');

an extra 's'.

Hello Olivier,

Thanks very much for this great extension! I just have a question for you: is there anyway to recreate the "Members" page and the "Groups" page here on the K2 Community site? That is really what I am looking for! Any help on where to start (other than your great extension) would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks!

perfect!!! thank you!!!

Hi Vincenzo,

 

Yes it's compatible with v2.4.1 as it just adds new files.

 

Olivier

yes!!!

 

my new site runs on the latest k2:

Hi,

 

Is this extension compatible with the last version of K2?

This is very nice work.  Thanks, Olivier.

Any chance we can evolve this thing to where we can sort by last name?

 

I want to do this as well. But sorting by last name is tough, as the fields in the K2 user are Name (as in Full Name) and username, same as the Joomla user. You'd need to have a First Name and Last Name field for each user, and that would require changes to both the K2 and the Joomla User records. Bleugh!

I've had the idea of making the Username the surname, or at least begin with the surname (ie John Smith has a username of smith, smithj or smith.john) and sorting by Username.

Oliver: How can I amend the code to give me the option to sort by username?

I'm going to try and work this out myself, so if I do, I'll post my findings here as usual.

Ok, so I managed to add an option to Users View: Sort by Username Alphabetically

I've created and attached a zip file of Users View to upload in the same fashion as before: drag the contents of the zip to your root folder via an FTP client (WinSCP, Filezilla, Cyberduck etc).

THEN, provided your usernames are the surname, or at least BEGIN with the surname, you can sort by Username and the users will display alphabetically by username/surname when you click the Menu Item.

I know this isn't perfect, especially if you have multiple established authors who log in all the time, and the username isn't in a surname format, but this is the best I can do with my knowledge of Joomla and K2 for now.

Oliver, please feel free to add this to your release, if you think it's a worthwhile addition.

I've got one last issue I'm trying to resolve. The Users View menu item shows Users alphabetically by username fine, but when I click on the ALPHABET above, say I click S, it still displays users based on the first letter of their Full Name, their FIRST name, not the first letter of their Username, which I have made their surname.

I'm looking to find how to make the Alphabet above links to the Users based on the first letter of the Username, not the Full Name.

Oliver, any help from you would be greatly appreciated. Otherwise, I'll post my finding.
