Hi Kenny,

Could you set the section to sort records by  'hidden' or whatever field you use to determine an expired membership, and then by 'name' or 'date', which would automatically put the expired records at the bottom of the list (this doesn't work well with dragSortOrder).

Hey Kenny,

That's an interesting feature, thanks for the suggestion! Give Jerry's solution a try in the short term, but hopefully we'll be able to add something a little more robust in the future.

Thanks,

Hey Kenny,

Another idea would be to move the display members function to a front end report.

That way you could only show the members with active status, and show any other fields laid out in the way that best meets your client's needs, even as a spreadsheet if required.

Then using something similar to the recipe in my Cookbook called: UPDATING A TABLE VALUE WITHOUT RELOADING A WEB PAGE USING AN AJAXURL, the client could change a member's status when required.

A similar (part of) the report could show only inactive members with only a small change in code. For example, if you were using the hidden field to toggle activity, then just change:

  'where'    => " hidden = '0' ", to  'where'    => " hidden = '1' ",

Just a thought...

Good idea, Jerry! This will likely work for me until they can come up with a one-click archive method.

Thanks,

Kenny
