Hallo developers!

We started project wich handles Uber drivers as WP users to manage their contracts and Taxi driver licence fees. Did not even imagining Toolset can't search for users. Site is almost readdy to go live as get translated, but there will be headache for administrator soon, if the list reaches like 1000 users.

We desperately need for more powerful approach to users.

There are useful things in Toolset already to work around users like Access Control, we have User Fields and User Forms by CRED. Why not to search users? I'm wondering how builders of different kind subscription sites do work without proper user management.

Will you add such feature in nearst future?

Thanks in advance,

Tiit

The feature request is filed already, yes, and planned for Views 2.6, but that is not a definite ETA.

We cannot state ETA's because this is subject to developers decisions, workloads and more.

With Toolset, currently you cannot have a Custom Search on the front end for users.

Is there Custom User fields, created with Toolset, allowed to use in Conditional shortcode.

For example:
We have user role Driver and custom user field 'driver-status' to separate nice guys and not so nice drivers.
1. We can easily output users table with all the data(wp user fields and custom user fields) belonging to those users.
Now we have to get 2 more separate lists:
2. Nice guys list, where 'driver-status' equal to '1' in database.
3. All other drivers, whos got 'driver-status' equal to '0'.

Yes, you can use Custom User Fields in a Conditional HTML ShortCode.

To get help on single details of this, I recommend a new Ticket as this very Ticket here is a Feature Request.

Thank you!
