Thank you Luo! This is working now.

What would you recommend now for being able to create different lists (directories) of users based on the value specified in a custom field? I have a select field for each user called 'wpcf-aceer-role'. This field has several values (board member, intern, conservation fellow etc.). I would like to create pages for each of these types of users, i.e. a page for board members, a page for interns etc. On these pages, I want to link to the individual profile or author archives shown above.

I have a crude version of the complete user directory at this link: hidden link and the view profile link goes to the /author/username archive page as desired. I would like to either add a filtering option to the directory page (which I don't think is possible for user archives) or create several versions of the directory page, one for each user type.

What do you recommend for that?

Thank you!!

Hello,

The Toolset user view does not support custom search form yet.

But it is possible to filter the result by view's shortcode attribute, for example:
1) You can create a view "my-view":
- Query users
- Filter by:
Select items with field:
wpcf-aceer-role is a string equal to VIEW_PARAM(aceerrole)
- In view's loop, display user information

2) Display above view's shortcode with different attribute "aceerrole" values, for example:

[wpv-view name="my-view" aceerrole="abc"]
...
[wpv-view name="my-view" aceerrole="efg"]
