No "Detail page using list 2"

Linking to the same list doesn’t make sense because then it won’t show a more detailed view, it will just filter the list to show one.

Is there a function I can add that will add linktypes to the dropdown that I can modify to have the detail list #s I need to choose from? Basically, so instead of “Detail page using List 2” I could have “Detail page using List 4” if that’s what I need to link to for the detail. What you have now is okay but too restrictive in that List 1 has to be the Directory List and List 2 has to be the Detail List.

Make sense?

I don’t mind adjusting and adding to the function if I have it.

I’m puzzled this hasn’t come up often. Isn’t this a basis for how a Directory/Detail would work?

Thanks

I downloaded the plugin and couldn’t get it to work right.

I did, however, manage to get it working partly by going into the Plus Plugin file amr-users-plus.php and just changing the “2s” to “1s” so it points to List 1 rather than List 2.

1. I’d still rather this was a separate function (not a plugin) so I don’t have to worry about updates mucking with it but that’s not working for me.

2. I’d still like it to go to another page for styling and formatting reasons (and there are other things like a “Return to Directory” link on the page) but your home_url('/v2-amr-members-detail/') line doesn’t work as it should.

Can ya help?

THANKS

Sorry for not being clear.

1. The only way I could get this to work was to change the code in the AMR Plus file amr-users-plus-linktypes.php. I’d like to use this code in the THEME functions.php but it doesn’t work when I do that.

2. Adding home_url('/v2-amr-members-detail/') throws a PHP error. That’s the problem. Here’s the code I’m using which is from the plugin’s linktypes file mentioned above with the List number changed. Adding home_url('/v2-amr-members-detail/') causes an error. Can you show me where it should go? And how it can be a function in the THEME functions.php file? THANKS

function amr_add_a_detail_link_type_function (	$linktype, $u, $field ) {// the current value and the user data and the field the link is on )
	$url = add_query_arg(array (
		'filter'=>'1',
		/* can use anything to trigger filter, eg:
		"show" to still show the filter field,
		"hide" to hide it ONLY if it is a displayed field,
		else any value eg: "1" */
		'ID' => $u->ID,
		'ulist' => 1, //admin side - Was 2
		'list' => 1 // front end - Was 2
		)
		);
	return ($url);
}
/* --------------------------------------------------------------------------------*/
function amr_add_a_detail_link_type ($linktypes) {
	$linktypes['detailpagelist2'] = __('detail page using list 1', 'amr_users');
	return ($linktypes);
}

I got this sorted out by adapating your plugin code and using it as a plugin. I was trying to use it as a function for better personal housekeeping, but since it wasn’t working I just stuck with it as a plugin.

THANKS!
