Fetch a list of members

[husseinalhammad]

Add a function to list members. e.g.

pipit_members_custom([
    'template' => 'list.html',
    'filter' => [
        [
            'filter' => 'status',
            'value' => 'active',
        ],
    ],
]);

I'm looking fo a way of geofencing members in regions.

pipit_members_custom([ 'template' => 'list.html', 'filter' => [ [ 'filter' => 'region', 'value' => 'nw_sydney', ], ], ]);

The primary reason I have not implemented this function yet is to not go beyond the scope of the first-party Perch Members app.

The Perch Members app's purpose is to handle user authentication and control user access to different types of content. For simpler use-cases, you can also use it to manage (private) user profiles. The app does not handle complex field types nor does it allow filtering on custom fields.

I would suggest you link members to Runway collection items (using the Pipit Members app). This way you don't have to work around the limitations of the Perch Members app and can rely on Runway collections for managing the profiles.

Examples

Displaying the profile for a logged-in member:

perch_collection('Profiles', [
    'template'  => 'profiles/_detail.html',
    'filter'    => [
        [
            'filter' => 'member',
            'value' => perch_member_get('id'),
        ],
    ],
]);

Displaying a filtered list of members by the field region (mirroring your example):

perch_collection('Profiles', [
    'template'  => 'profiles/_list.html',
    'filter'    => [
        [
            'filter' => 'region',
            'value' => 'nw_sydney',
        ],
    ],
]);

I'm not saying a function like pipit_members_custom() wouldn't be useful, but for your particular use-case, I think you should consider relying on the Perch Members app for managing user authentication and Runway collections for managing profiles. The Pipit Members app's role here would be to make linking members to collection items easier.

Thanks. Yes I can see that working. Next year have a chance to run some tests.

I would love to see a perch_members_custom() function added. :)
