Dear Solspace Administrators and Members,

I’m writing this as a pre-sales question, and also as an ExpressionEngine that is less inclined with programming knowledge. My experience with PHP stems from reading a couple books and that’s about as advanced as it gets. I do understand database design to a degree and also reading some basic queries.

I am currently developing a website that would heavily make use of this User Module.. What I wanted to know though, is whether there is any known way that the weblog tags can be filtered by author on these pages? I’m looking at creating member profiles where, say, their last 10 entries are displayed alongside a “View All” page with included pagination.

I’m not sure if ExpressionEngine supports this out of the bat, and this extends also to the User Module as well. This might be a large undertaking to myself, so if anyone can provide some input, maybe link to some real world examples, or even just link to some previous posts with information regarding this, I would truly appreciate it.

I’ve found a thread here, that might be the solution to this issue, but just incase, can anyone confirm my finding? The thread in question is: http://www.solspace.com/forums/viewthread/785/

Cheers,
D.

Mr. Dimsum,

The User module should give you what you need. I will say though, depending on how you want to paginate your list of entries for a given user, things may get tricky. Out of the box, you can pass standard EE pagination indicators in the url and the User module will respond. But if you want to do some sort of AJAXy pagination, you’ll need some deeper programming chops.

Thanks for the quick replies Mitchell.. I think I’m at least sold on this module.. If you have the time, could you provide your input on the other threads I’ve replied in here as well before I make the jump?

Cheers,

Mr Dimsum,

Either Kelsey or myself will get back to you shortly. I’m trying to finish an Events module for EE right now that should be a pretty helpful addition to the library.

Mitchell,

Thanks for the lightning response times.. I’m looking forward to your work and looking forward to some replies.. Seriously, without your modules, ExpressionEngine would probably not suit my needs, but with them.. I have some hope that it might see the light of day.
