[Plugin: Aleph] How do I get the userlist?

(@chris1)

Hi Detective,
thanks for your answer.
I tried these two:
– admin
– alex

alex is one of my real users. I thought Aleph would just overtake the existing users. Both didn’t work. Try to click on the links and you will see.
It seems like I have to prepare sth. … and what exactly?

(@detective)

I can see the profile of admin. It seems to work for me.

The link to alex doesn’t work, but if you check here you’ll see all your registered users with a link to their profiles. In that list there is no user named alex.

Aleph provides profiles and user lists for registered users in your site. In your sidebar i see that Alex is a commenter, but he (she?) is not registered, so Aleph can’t provide a profile.

However, it’s strange that there is nothing shown. If Aleph couldn’t find the user, it should redirect you to the 404 page.

Hi Detective,
thx 4 your answer.

you are right. I didn’t see it because the page is totally broken.
What do I have to do to fix the page again and run Aleph at the same time?

(@detective)

Hi,

You need to edit the templates used. In the folder wp-content/plugins/el-aleph/template-examples there are two template files: users.php and profile.php. You need to copy those to your theme folder, and edit them according to your needs (so they match your site structure and css clases).

I hope it works for you and you find my plugin useful. If you think your question is answered, please mark this topic as resolved 🙂

Hi Detective,
thx 4 your answer.

I’ve already copied these files to the theme folder. You saw the result
– Profile Page
– User Page

The page is broken. Just compare it with:
C-SALSA.COM
and you will see.
How do I have to change the users.php and profile.php that the result is displayed in my post area and the rest of the site is not broken?

I’m not a programmer… so it would be cool if you show me an easy solution.

(@detective)

What i always do is to take single.php from your template and use that structure. Please paste your single.php here and i’ll make you a simple profile/users page.

Hello Detective,
thanks so much. You are great.
Here is the single.php:

<?php get_header(); ?>
  <div id="content">

  <?php if (have_posts()) : while (have_posts()) : the_post(); ?>

Hello Detective,

thx a lot for the code. I’ll try to do the same with the users.php.
btw.
How do I avoid the green head?
–> profile.php

My page doesn’t look green:
–> C-SALSA.COM

(@detective)

It seems that header subnavigation is being added in your header.php template file.

(@detective)

You must change the following line:
if (is_page() and ($notfound != '1'))

into the following:
if (!is_user_view() and is_page() and ($notfound != '1'))

If this works for you, please don’t forget to mark this topic as resolved (and if you find the plugin useful, to rate it) 🙂

Hi Detective,
the very first step (display users & profile) is done. Thanks so much. I hope you also support me to setup a good El Aleph running system like your examples – thinking… El Aleph has a lot of potential and could be my no. 1 plugin.
