Filter On Extra field

[seymourjames +]

One of our forum members wanted to filter not on location but on an extrafield. The listing filter is capable of doing this with a little tweak to the code. I thought it worth posting for all to see:

Override the default filtering by location with an extra field, put the fields id in place of 0 if you want to enable searching by an extra field versus the users registration data. Please note that this extra field must be a select option, as there is no other extra field that enables you to create a list of filterable options. These will be used to populate the popup as well as being filtered against.

Find this line in modules/templatecodes/config.php and replace the zero with the id of your extrafield.

$data['module']['lfilter_field'] = '0';

Thanks very much seymourjames. The minor modification to your listing filter is a valuable feature.
