Re: Members List - Full Name on One Line?

Hi,
I understand full well what the break tag is and does.  There IS NO br tag in my markup after the first name!!!!  This can be seen in my screen shot.  (did you look at it????)

So my question is and what I need help with is WHY it shows up with a break when that is not what is in the markup?

I've checked the code and I can't find where it might be putting a br so I don't think that's it.  I don't see how it could be the css although I've looked there as well.

Hence the question to you in the first place!  LOL...

Re: Members List - Full Name on One Line?

Hi again,
Just wanted to let you know that I fixed it with the css...

added the actual classes for tern_wp_members_first_name and tern_wp_members_last_name which weren't even there -- put float:left for both and then added a break clear tag after the last name in the markup --

So now it shows up how I want it to show up!  woo hoo!  Now I have to copy the css values to my theme's additional css so that when/if this plugin is updated I don't lose all the css changes/additions I've made.

That is something that might prove helpful to others -- knowing that not all the classes and divs in the markup have any mention in the css file, so that if you want to have a particular style for that class or div you'll need to put it in the css file and style it.

Now, as to WHY wordpress or the plugin was adding a break tag when there was none in the markup is beyond me.  But this is a doable workaround.

Thanks for the VERY useful plugin!

Hope this helps,
Cindi

Re: Members List - Full Name on One Line?

Is it possible to get first_name and last_name to show on one line instead of two? 

So John Doe instead of<br />
John<br />
Doe

For markup I have:

the div class %value%  --   in the first_name field

and

%value% (end div) --  in the last_name field

But it shows up on two lines and I can't figure out what I need to put to get it to read on one line.  I tried to put the actual markup here because it doesn't show...

Thanks for any help.

This will be a great addition to my website if I can get this working.

Cindi, it appears your method is correct. That is how I do it. Can you post a link to your site so I can take a look at how the mark-up is being rendered?

I made the page public so you can look at it, but it was private and I'll want to return it to private if this can't be fixed.  I've also put a screenshot of the config page at the bottom of the page so you can see what I have.

Thanks for the help!

Re: Members List - Full Name on One Line?

Cindi,

I hope you don't feel as though I was questioning your intelligence or knowledge when it comes to html. I wasn't. It's hard to know who knows what and when. I get contacted by gurus as well as beginners and it seems always easiest to start right from the beginning.

I attempted to view your screenshot but it was too small and unreadable.

Do you see a br tag in the sample mark-up that is displayed at the bottom of the mark-up page. I've never had anyone ask about this issue before.

What version of wordpress are you running? What other plugins are you running?

Congratulations on the fix! I'm glad the plugin works for you otherwise. My apologies for the inconvenience.

Re: Members List - Full Name on One Line?

Too bad.. all you had to do was click on it and it would have opened up to the whole page.. it was the typical WP image...oh well.  I took it off now since I have it the way I want it and need to get the page approved.

But just for future reference, I'm using WP 2.9.1, and too many plugins to mention. 

There was no br tag in the sample markup... that's what had me so mystified.  It wasn't in the markup that I put... it wasn't in the sample markup... but darned if it wasn't there in the final page.  Go figure.

Thanks, Cindi

Re: Members List - Full Name on One Line?

I'm guessing it's due to a filter that another plugin must somehow be applying to your user meta data. Do you have other user related plugins installed?

Re: Members List - Full Name on One Line?

@ternforum: This thread was a great help for me! But how can a get a space between the names? Another question is, how can I get a underline after each member in the list?
Thx for answer, believer
