[Resolved] Adding User Field to the admin Users view and ability to sort

This thread is resolved. Here is a description of the problem and solution.

Problem:
Can I add the User Custom Fields to the user Admin column in WordPress?

Solution:
No.
We do not create or manage the User list with Types, as we do for as example Custom Post Types (there we can control the Post Admin list)

You can not include User Fields in that user Admin list.

I am trying to: Add a user field to the User view in the dashboard

I visited this URL: n/a

I expected to see: n/a

Instead, I got: n/a

Is there a way to add a User Field to the User view as a additional column in the dashboard and make it sortable?

Please see screenshot

Thanks in advance!

No, this is not possible as we do not create the User list, as we do for as example Custom Post Types (there we can control the Post Admin list)

You can not include User Fields in that user Admin list.

If you want, I can have a DEV jumping in here, if you would like the feature to be considered in future Types versions.

Thank you

Beda,

Ok, i understand. I think this would be valuable to have as feature, because the user fields are actually important part of the users when you use them and making some of them visible into the admin user list. Otherwise you need edit the user everytime you want see what these or some of the user fields value are.

I you could pass this over to the DEV guys that would be great.

Thanks

Beda,

I found this plugin which actually let's you add columns in a visual interface. Also the user fields created with Types.
