I'm considering making a
new dashboard control for handling member querying, filtering etc. - obviously
based on my DashboardControl: Filter Members by
Groups, Umbraco v4
package, but containing additional functionality.
Before I start out I wanted
to ask the community about ideas and requests for new functionality related to
this. So.... don't hesitate to reply to this post or contact me on tommy at
blackpoint dot dk
I've used your dashboard control on a couple of projects, it works really well!
As for ideas/suggestions - since Umbraco v4.5.2 there has been an Examine/Lucene index for "InternalMember" ... it might be worthwhile retrieving member data from there?
It's only used for the back-office internal member search, with the default properties indexed (e.g. id, nodeName, updateDate, writerName, loginName, email, nodeTypeAlias) ... but at least from there you could filter by MemberType, or recently updated members, or filter the email by domain?
An export would be nice, especially an export filtered by columns. Example: I've built a custom export to be able to find the name & e-mail address of members to be added to a mailing list.
There might be a little overlap with the MemberExport package?
Yeah, was meaning the Examine/Lucene index purely for faster access to the member data. Although things like groups aren't stored by default - so that's a gotcha here! :-$
Good point Lee - and I don't wanna mess with Richard ;-)
I was also considering making a more generic member-admin dashboard control for doing operations on members (bulk delete/change group/...) on the search-results
Its a really useful tool. THanks for spending the time on it.
It doesnt seem to wok for custom proeprties of type integer. Or perhaps there si somethign wrong at my end. If not, that would be good to add. I think the following would also be useful:
1. allow output columns to be configurable
2. make the id column into a link through to edit the member
Thanks for reporting this. I'm no longer maintaining this package - instead the functionality has been moved to my Blackpoint Member Admin package, and it now contains a fix for this issue also ;-)
Any member dashboard functionality requests?

Hi Tommy,

Cheers, Lee.

Hi Lee, you mean using the Examine/Lucene index as an optimized search (instead of via the db), right?
... and then possibly filter by other parameters also.
Sebastiaan - you mean export the group of members found (maybe only a custom-defined subset of member properties), e.g. to a local file ?
That is exactly what I mean! Just a CSV or something like that would be good.
There might be a little overlap with the MemberExport package?

@sebastiaan, That is exactly what MemberExport is doing. If you need additional features please let me know, Sorry to crash in on this thread Tommy.
Always welcome Richard
