Ok. I'll try with your recommandations tomorrow. It's the night here ;).

Thx for your helps.

So, I work on it but it's hard. I find that the user's default profile fields are called like "admin_defined_profile_1, admin_defined_profile_2, etc ...".

So the first step is to extract the user's avatar and his "admin_defined_profile_1" field.

Is it the good way ?

$options = array(
'type' => 'user',
'full_view' => false,
'limit' => '6',
'pagination' => 'false',
'metadata' => '?' ,
'subtitle' => '?' ,
);

$content = elgg_list_entities($options);

echo $content;

I don't see how to replace the '?'

@Stéphane Caillaud

You don't need to create something a new ;)

Just copy file views\default\user\default.php into your own theme/plugin and edit it.

See again at $metadata :

$metadata = elgg_view_menu('entity', array(
    'entity' => $entity,
    'sort_by' => 'priority',
    'class' => 'elgg-menu-hz',
));

It's just return menu's items like banned/location etc by default viewing

You may to skip it.

About 'subtitle'..it's a text that you want to see on follow after user's avatar.

Examples:

Contruction

$entity->briefdescription

means a briefdescription from user' profile

And

$entity->status

means a status text from profile

etc

Ok. I'll work on it. I hope that this will lead.

Argh! I'm missing one or two concepts to understand how it works. I'm stuck and it's frustrating!

So I want to include a bloc with a special grid member in my new homepage. The bloc is called like this:

$member = elgg_view('page/elements/member', $vars);

<div class="elgg-page-body">
<div class="elgg-inner">$member</div>
</div>

So I copy the "default.php" code in my "member.php" page. If I do it with no change an I display it: I have a blank page. I think it is normal but I can see why ... Could you tell me why?

I have a question: why not use the "members/index.php" page?

So I code two pages:

- one "member.php" page,
- one "grid.php" page.

Code of the "member.php" page:

$num_members = get_number_users();

$title = elgg_echo('members');

$options = array('type' => 'user', 'full_view' => false);

$content = elgg_list_entities($options);

echo elgg_view('members/grid', $content);

Code of the "grid.php" page:

in progress (formatting the grid and extracting the metadata inside)

Is it the good way?

So I want to populate this code with the users's list:

<div>
<ul>
// start of the loop
<li><a href="linkToTheUser">
<div></div>
<div>
<h4>NameOfTheUser</h4>
<p>FirstUserField</p>
</div>
</li>
</ul>
// end of the loop
</div>

@Stéphane Caillaud Do you like a headache ? :)

I said about copy views\default\user\default.php into your own theme/plugin BUT not about creating a new file.

Copy this file and put it like as:

your_theme\views\default\user\default.php

This file is displays a user by default. Overriding it you can create your own view for user.

So, now you need make your own page for showing the users' list. By default, this is a file members/page/index.php.

Override it with your own page handler e.g.:

elgg_unregister_page_handler('members', 'members_page_handler');

elgg_register_page_handler('members', 'my_members_page_handler');

function my_members_page_handler($page) {

    $base = elgg_get_plugins_path() . 'your_theme/pages/members';
   
     $vars = array();
     $vars['page'] = $page[0];

     if ($page[0] == 'search') {
         require_once "$base/search.php";
     } else {
        require_once "$base/index.php";
     }
        return true;

}

Now create the path with folders: pages/members

And put into 2 your own files: index.php and search.php

Copy them from default plugin members

File index.php is your own customizing viewing of members' list. Edit it and add your code.

I've created 2 example files for U try it:

default.php - http://z.wzm.me/?5b7ebe84962fa029#yQzLmztXIbhn2JA7ShLTk4ElAbKM86tlwUyohspAL3M=

index.php - http://z.wzm.me/?f46f922367866c55#T9y0P+39ypx/Eog3efqYnjNHV8K4tnfuOApOhi5uj5A=

Remember: you need CSS customizing also.

Best regards!
