Managing and Editing Lists

From HAA Best Practices Wiki
Jump to navigationJump to search

You can create and edit lists at:

Joomla->Components->Community Builder->List Management

Here you will see that the "All users" list is the default list and that we also have lists defined for Classmate Web Sites and Reunion Attendees.

Once you've defined a list, you will want to display it on the site. There are two ways to do this: First, you can create a new menu item and point it to Community Builder->Users lists or, second, you can create a menu item that points to a link and use the URL displayed at the top of the Community Builder List:Edit page.

Reunion Attendees List[edit]

This list is a special case. It displays the classmates who have said that they plan to attend the "active reunion" or who have registered for the reunion. You specify the active reunion on the Community Builder Plugin HAAReunion page. To access this page go to:

Joomla->Components->Community Builder->Plugin Management->HAAReunion

Once on the page, you can select the active reunion by using the drop down list in the parameters area of the page.

All other aspects of the Reunion Attendees list are specified under the Community Builder List Management, in the usual way, with one exception. The Filter used on this page is special. You may use several special keywords in the filter. To do so select the "Advanced" radio button and enter an sql expression including the follwing keywords:

  • NoPlansActiveReunion
  • PlansToComeActiveReunion
  • IsRegisteredActiveReunion
  • NoPlansPriorReunion
  • PlansToComePriorReunion
  • IsRegisteredPriorReunion

So, for example, if you want everbody who has either said that they plan to attend the reunion, or who have registered for the reunion, you would enter:

PlansToComeActiveReunion or IsRegisteredActiveReunion

Or, if you wanted everybody who isn't registered yet:

NoPlansActiveReunion or PlansToComeActiveReunion

Or, everybody who attended the prior reunion:

IsRegisteredPriorReunion

Note that you can create other lists that display the cb_reunionplans field and they will also accept these keywords.
