Using in J!3 and S3.2.0
I am trying to: Add a link to user profile from list view where the admin could then edit any user's profile without need to visit the back-end.
I tried Mehdi post per the older topic of the same title...
And to be clear I have set the following in my List & Search Type form:
Can anyone clarify these settings for me? The search form does return a plain list, but I NEVER get a link to that user's details.
I did try another method which was using the "Item" view and then added a template and a position with PHP code within a /search folder:
Thx so much and Best in the new year!!

Which is this, to have a link to a user profile as you want, you should enable bridge between user object and article which contains the profile of a user.
To enable a bridge, you should:
So, I tried this. And the list view completely removes any results when the bridge is enabled. I tried different access, public thru special with NO EFFECT.
[Perhaps this is because I created my first set of test users while the bridge was disabled??]To enable a bridge, you should:
- click on admin menu link "extensions"
- click on admin menu link "plugin manager"
- filter plugin by the type "cck_storage_location"
- click on plugin "Cck Storage Location - Joomla! User"
- In "basic options" panel, enable the bridge.
And to be clear I have set the following in my List & Search Type form:
- Add field Username with the value under choice 2: View selected and under "+" I have:
- Content = Field
- Field Name = username (taken from the #JOS#_users dB table; I also tried "#username#")
- Object = User
- rest are inherited
Can anyone clarify these settings for me? The search form does return a plain list, but I NEVER get a link to that user's details.
I did try another method which was using the "Item" view and then added a template and a position with PHP code within a /search folder:
$link = 'index.php?option=com_cck&view=form&layout=edit&type=applicants&id=';
$link .= $cck->get('user_id')->value;
$link .= '&Itemid=38'; ?>
This does work but a lotta extra effort ...Thx so much and Best in the new year!!
