http://www.filipina-lady.net/test253/manage01.jpg

At includes/templates open members.tpl

FIND:

<td class="gridHeader" width="90" style="text-align: center" nowrap>{lang:"members","joindate"}</td>

BELOW ADD:

<td class="gridHeader" width="90" style="text-align: center" nowrap>Messages</td>

FIND:

<td class="gridOptions{rownum}" style="text-align: center">{joindate}</td>

BELOW ADD:

<td class="gridOptions{rownum}" style="text-align: center">[{totalmessages}] - <a href="{top.virtual_cp_path}index.php?m=membersmessages&p=inbox&id={id}">{lang:"members","view"}</a></td>

FIND:

<td class="gridHeader" colspan="4" style="text-align: center" nowrap>{lang:"members","actions"}</td>

CHANGE: "4" to "5"

FIND

<td class="gridFooter" colspan="9" style="padding: 0px;">

CHANGE "9" TO "10"

FOR ADDING THE EMAIL COLUMN

FIND THE FIRST:

<td class="gridActions{rownum}" width="24" style="text-align: center">

ADD BEFORE:

<td class="gridActions{rownum}" width="24" style="text-align: center"><a class="grid" href="{top.virtual_cp_path}index.php?m=newsletters&p=message&u={username}" title="{lang:"members","send_message"}">
<img src="{top.virtual_path}includes/templates/media/{top.cp_theme}/actions/contact.gif" alt="{lang:"members","send_message"}" border="0" /></a></td>

The number you see enclosed between [ ] is showing the TOTAL  messages sent and received.

If you click the view link in the Manage Members column you will go to the members inbox. If you get a message no messages found click the members sent box. Remember, in Manage Members column it is showing the TOTAL messages.

For example:

http://www.filipina-lady.net/test253/manage03.jpg

http://www.filipina-lady.net/test253/manage04.jpg

By giving you the total messages in the Manage Members page, it may help you with checking on and controlling spam issues.

------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Now I will discuss the email column.

By having the email icon in each member's row, I can quickly take care of any communication with that member.

In case you don't remember where in the CP you create your templates, it is in your CP at Communicate - Manage Template - Add template.

------------------------------------------------------------------------------

I'm sure there is many more items you can add to the Manage Members page, but I don't have the programming skill to do so. For that matter, I imagine any of the filter items you see when you use the filter function in Manage Members, there is code you can use to add a column to your Manage Members page.

Maybe those who have programming skills could contribute the code  by replying to this post -- for example the code to add a Last Visit column.

That's it.

This forum section is for tutorials and tips only. Do not post technical support questions here.

Use an appropriate forum section and link to a tutorial if necessary

No you have it the other-way-round.

The sticky rules asks that you

Create a new topic for your tutorial question in the appropriate forum and place your link there to reference the tutorial thread.

not post your technical Support question on the tutorial thread

As you have it. 
you're reading a book on how to repair a leaking kitchen sink and directly after reading about the repaired  sink in the same chapter there's a quick question about a leaking roof.

The leaking roof question is not connected or related to the leaking kitchen sink repair. but there it is.

Not posting questions on tutorials helps keep the tutorial forum manageable and much more easier to read without the need of the members guessing if that tutorial finished or not.

Excellent addition.  Thanks for your work.

Draw a line, live above it and throw away everything that falls below it.
