"user list" issues

Hello, I am experiancing problems with the "user list" function in the
community section.

Ok here is the problem, first, some of the names in the user list have
active links that other users can click on to send a message to and request friendship and some do not. Is ther a way to make them all active links?
Second, the user list has gotten long enough now to be two pages, but when I click to see the second page, it gives me a page that lists the first few names from the first page and that's all.
Thankyou in advance for looking into this issue.

The users whose names aren't links have their "User information" marked "Private". There isn't an Admin tool to make all users' information public, as far as I know. As Admin, you can change any user's preferences using the url tiki-user_preferences.php?view_user= with the username added, but this would be one at a time. I imagine you could also make the change in the database using something like UPDATE `tiki_user_preferences` SET `value` = 'public' WHERE `prefName` = 'user_information';.

But new users would still have to be switched, since the default is "private." This could be changed with a file modification, but I don't know where offhand.

That's weird. The URL of the first page should be tiki-list_users.php and the URL of the second should be something like tiki-list_users.php?find=&offset=20&sort_mode=score_desc with the offset number being where the names continue in your list of users. What is the URL you see after the second page loads?

Thankyou for responding. I figured out the first part. It seems obvious now 😕 It would be nice if there was a way to make it the default, as well as the checkboxes that say they will accept messages from other users.

The second issue is still perplexing me though. Here is the URL:

http://www.community-resources.com/wiki/tiki-list_users.php?find=&offset=10&sort_mode=score_descQuestion

I just don't know enough about PHP to go in there and know what to edit. It would also be cool if I could increase the number per page. But, functionally first, then I'll figure out the extras.

Thanks again,

Jason

Hi, one more thing about the issue; when the second page is opened, and the first several names from the first page are displayed, they are displayed in reverse order. I don't know if this means any thing, but I wish I could figure it out. any ideas?
