Show and List Frontend Users

This Feature allows you to display the data of the current user, a selected user by an editor or list users and provide a detail page.

Caution: Please take care that you do not disclose information in public environments and be careful which data you show in the detail view.

Show the current user

Useful, if you want to show a "read only view" for the currently logged in frontend user.

Configuration:

Add a femanager_detail plugin to your page
in the field "User to show" choose "Logged in FE User"

Show a given user

You can provide a detail view of a given frontend user

Add a femanager_detail plugin to your page
select the user to be shown in the field "User to show"

Attention

Take care that you do not disclose information in public environments and be careful which data you show in the detail view.

If you do not select a frontend user, the detail view only renders a user that was linked from a femanager list plugin. Those links carry a signed hash argument that is validated before the record is rendered, so a hand-crafted URL with an arbitrary tx_femanager_detail[user]=XX and no valid hash is rejected.

Custom list and detail templates

Every link to the show action that passes a user must also pass the corresponding signed hash. This also applies to customized list templates. Without the hash, the detail request is rejected.

UserController::listAction assigns the showHashes array, keyed by the user uid. Use it in customized list templates as follows:

<f:for each="{users}" as="user">
   <f:variable name="showHash" value="{showHashes.{user.uid}}" />
   <f:link.action action="show" arguments="{user:user, hash:showHash}">
      {user.username}
   </f:link.action>
</f:for>

In a customized detail template, use the single showHash variable for a self-referencing link:

<f:link.action action="show" arguments="{user:user, hash:showHash}">
   {user.username}
</f:link.action>

List Users

Add a a femanager_list plugin to your page
set the plugin options to show the users you want to display

Plugin Options:

Show Searchfield: You can provide a searchfield, to filter the users
Limit: Define how many users are listed per page
Order by: Choose which field should be used to order the list
Sorting: Define sort ordering
Show from usergroup (empty = show all): Select one or more usergroups. If you don't select a group, all frontend users are displayed
