This plugin generates a clean user-facing user directory which is extensible to allow other plugins to add to the content that it displays. By default the plugin detects the presence of the excellent Private Messaging plugin and if the facility is available, it adds a link to send a private message to any given user in the directory. Similarly the plugin detects if WordPress integration is enabled, and if WordPress profile editing has been used to set a given user’s ‘display name’.


  1. Any notes for installation availables?

    Where we must put the file named members.php?

  2. Well, I've readed in your blog …

    There are three files included in the download. Installing them is simple, feel free to rename the members.php file to whatever you want, and copy it to your main bbPress installation directory. You will want to add a link to this file in your template. The bb-user-directory.php file needs to go into your bb-plugins directory, and the userdirectory.php file needs to be dropped into your active theme directory. The files are packaged in the correct directories, so you may be able to unzip and upload directly to your bbPress installation, assuming you rename the ‘your-theme’ directory appropriately. Oh, and don’t forget to Activate the plugin!

  3. I would really like to see some advanced options to this.

    Pagination, sort order, filter, and search to name a few.

    This is a solid start to a good memberlist page though!

  4. I agree with the above.

    Definitely a good start, works in 1.06 and integrates perfectly!

    Perhaps a "nofollow" on external user website links as well. Don't want to be associated with random spam links and bad neighbourhoods and get devaluated in google.

    For now I'll just try and manually add the nofollow.

    edit: couldn't find out how to add nofollow. But the directory is only linked to when logged in, so not the biggest deal regarding the SEO.

  5. I plan to work on your suggestions, thanks! The plan is

    1. Pagination (adding an admin-area options screen)
    2. No-follow
    3. Sort order
    4. Search
    5. Filter
    Keep the feedback and suggestions coming. :-)

  6. If you're going to build an admin interface, something I think would be REALLY cool is the option to set additional user_meta for it to pull and make extra columns for, similar to how you've included the PM link.

    Maybe even by making your plugin pluggable also. For example, I'm integrated with WordPress, and using the "register plus" plugin. This allows me to set my own user profile criteria that users can enter and modify from WordPress. If this plugin could allow me the option of telling it what additional fields I'd like it to look for, that would be super awesome. :)

  7. How about integration with the stats plugin from ck that would display when the user last logged in?

  8. Take a look at the plugin homepage - I've gone into some detail about the extension API that the user-directory supports as of version 0.5. On the "Extend" page, you will note that its possible to write a very simple plugin that adds additional data, and data rendering to the directory. My example was to show how to add a "post count" column.

    As of version 0.5 the documented API is stable and will be maintained. Feel free to write additional plugins that add the custom data that you want, or contact me and I'll work with you about how to add the columns you need.

    Next up - administration page for column ordering (hopefully, fingers crossed, using jQuery for drag + drop), the pagination page size and sort order.

  13. Can anyone provide an example of the actual link we are supposed to insert in the file? Sorry, not too knowledgeable of php. Thank you.
