Include field value in shortcode?

    Hi. I’m using AMR regular version with the Grouping add-on. I’ve created a list with several parameters, but I’d like to use the shortcode to split up the list a little more on the front end (because I want to limit the number of lists I have to create in the admin).

    My question… is there a parameter for the shortcode to display the list based on a specific value? For example, I have field name “dbem_region” and I want to show only users with a value of “1”. I know I can do this in the list settings, but I want to do it in the shortcode.

    Is something like this possible:

    [userlist list=12 dbem_region=1]

    I couldn’t find it in the documentation. Thank you!

    works from url – can’t think right now if it works as shortcode parameter, no time to check – try something like
    [userlist list=12 filter=1 dbem_region=1]

    Ah, I got it to work. It was a combination of things. First, I needed to include filter=1 in my shortcode (the example you provided above works). Second, I needed to include ALL the dbem_region values in the Configure This List Settings in order to use it as a filter. I didn’t include that fieldname as part of the orginal list, because I thought I could just use it in the shortcode. But, apparently you have to explicitly include all the values for a field if you want to filter by that field.

    Thank you!

    One more note — this only works if you also DISPLAY the dbem_region field. I though I could include the region field values, and then remove the display by deleting the “display order” field . But, that breaks the filtering. You have to include AND display the values if you want to use the shortcode or URL to filter it.

    Is there a way to do it so I don’t have to display the region value on the front end? If not, I’ll just try to hide it with CSS.

    Thanks!
