Searching via two criteria

[Lady Squid]

In the admin panel, under "search members", the search result I'm after is:

Members who have registered over 90 days ago, and have zero posts. (We delete those members).

I see how to search for each of those two groups separately, but not the two groups together.

Will v5 have a more flexible "search" tool?

If not, when I search by "register date" and put in "90", is there a way to reorder the results by post count?

Thanks!

On a similar note, current results are limited to 250. v5 supports more than that, correct?

[Lady Squid]

I didn't know that, Chris. Good question, hopefully a developer will answer us soon. :-)

Already exists.



Search is no longer in the admin area, it's on the forum. You have these options on the member search page and you can manage the results from there.

Ryan: Good.... good.

Lady: BTW, if you ask in code requests, someone can probably write a column resort code for you.

Worth a try. Thanks!

Columns re-sort in v5 too already.

Excellent!! Thanks! ;D

These developments will save us so much time.

Are there other filters to use such as these?

There are other filters for threads. For members though these are the only two, not counting the column sorting and the search itself there aren't really any other consistent values that every member has. Everyone has a post count and everyone has a registration date. Beyond that there isn't much to filter.

To be a filter the values need to exist for everyone, or at least follow a logic. For example we couldn't add a filter for location even though members have the option of entering one. First, not everybody has one. Second, people don't follow consistent rules for how they describe their location. Filtering would be a nightmare. Take my location for example, it's a number how would that work if I was trying to filter myself from the list but not you. You don't even have a location to filter.

Just for comparison, filtering threads has all of the following:
Created by
Locked
Is Event
Has Poll
Start Date
Reply Count

Obviously these are all things every thread has, so you can use them as filters.

What kind of other filters would you like to see for members? Keep in mind they have to be sortable.

Edit: In the future there may be more filters if we add values that can be filtered.

By filters, what I mean is, last login date, last post date

You can already sort by last login date using the columns. Last post date is an interesting idea.

Ah okay. good.
