Sebastian; I've been working on a simple members list for days. 
  1. I started with the standard DNN 6.2 UserProfile Display Template but found it is restricted to 2000 (max field is 4000) characters, so a decent html profile template using tokens (12k characters) can't be pasted into the table, and thus that failed

  2. I tried H2O and found that too elaborate for a simple member directory since it was designed for teams and projects.

  3. I then tried the Effority Membership directory and got through the install bugs on dnn 6.2 --- BUT then found that the link to open the directory template doesn't work and posted along a few people in Codeplex, but there's no response (dead end?)

  4. Now I'm trying the UDT (Form List) and running into the thought that surely someone has created a template or something to make this simpler and less trial and error?

  5. I've got Active Social running on 5-6 sites and know there's a release of DNN with that in it just around the corner (next month?) so I don't want to pay $200 per site (as I have so far) just to get a member list setup.


Sebastian, you're an Alpha Geek around here.
What should we do to create a simple member list(s) filtered by a role (a, b, c) that links to a custom profile page?

I'm burning a lot of time/money in this learning curve

Hints?

Hi Daniel,
  1. DNN user management tool is not intendet to be a membership list, especially for a larger number of members
  2. I have no experience with H20, sorry
  3. Effority membership module would be my choice, what are the issues you are facing? I know, the guys are not very active atm, but maybe some community members might contribute a solution
  4. UDT/FnL has no option to retrieve existing tables - this is simply not a use case for the module
  5. Active Modules has been acquired by DotNetNuke Corp. and a couple of Features from Active Social are announced to be merged into DNN core 6.x, I am not aware, whether this may happen this year.
  6. Another option (besides 3) would be SQLGridSelectedView - there are other modules like this around

Cheers from Germany,

Thanks for the insights. I'll give the SQLgridSelecctView a look.

Another approach to the problem would to simply expand the character limitation of the TabModuleSettings Table (SettingValue) Column from the 2000 characters to nvarchar(max) type. Then I could save the template I have in the table.

I thought this would work, but so far no as I expected. (some sql script needed?)

Any ideas on changing the column size limit?

A slight clarification; The list I'm creating isn't a public 'members' list, rather it's a list for an ADMIN LIST to look up the complete Profile Properties for any role - so it's a short list of  'prospects' and 'clients' less than 100 just for the ADMIN.

The Efforty module would work fine except for two issues.
1) the link to the profile details page doesn't work. This has been posted to the Codeplex site.
2) the template is limited by the ModuleSettings Table column type which stops at 2000 (nvarchar) and even when switched to nvarchar(max) it doesn't seem to let me past a 8020 (html) character template into it.

Thus the chase.

I have found a solution using the SmartThinker User Directory since it's template holds sufficient characters, and I can link from a data grid list to the page using a url string appended with the ?ID=5 (userid)

Since this is for the admin only, the string isn't a security risk (in my case)

I think the Effority solution was more elegant, but the module has this issue, so it's a dead end until it comes up on their radar for a fix.

Thanks for your time.
