How To Display Members List Area that looks...

...like this??

I had to create a members site and pulled this out of my ass:
http://www.thenynetwork.com/index.php/members1/...
^ But, this is a really big pain because it's not automated. This is one big Content block rather than a nice script that grabs members from a database and displays them in an orderly fashion. It's also impossible for anyone who doesn't know how to code HTML to update it since I couldn't get the images to display how I wanted through the WYSIWYG editor, so I had to rely on HTML/CSS coding.

you do know there is a built in members page right?
And with minimal PHP/HTML editing, you can make it look and function how you want.
I've looked into it and it looks like a backend members area, which is not what I want. And I am no good at PHP so the knowledge that with PHP I can make it look how I want is no help whatsoever. If I knew PHP, I wouldn't be asking this question.
In other words, looking for a plugin or simple way to make a Members Page look like this. Alphabetical index link, searchable by name, profession, etc. and probably limited to 10 members per page with several pages worth of members listed as a pagination link.
exactly like the built in members page. if you enable public profiles through the dashboard you have a new page on the sitemap called members
do you have a link where I can see how "exactly" alike it is before I try to play around with this feature again?
you will notice my members area has all kinds of styling and images. It doesn't look like this sort of stuff is input-able through the groups/users panel.
http://12345j.co.cc/index.php/members/ is a good example, I put it together in like 10 minutes, purely using user attributes.
The only styling you have is the Name, really. I also don't see any alphabetic list along the top. I assume the pagination would automatically add itself in there once you input enough members, but I don't see it so that's just an assumption. But, basically, this isn't very styled. It's like a header and a block of text of one paragraph style. Can you adjust the image size? Looks like the default size.
The way the Wordpress plugin works (linked in post 1) is you have the ability to add more sections (whatever you like) and then these can presumably be styled with CSS. So, it seems to be almost like the C5 form creator in that sense. The C5 members area doesn't seem to have that feature.

Alright, sorry I "assumed" that you had some PHP experience. Mnkras is not talking about a backend members area. Out of the box, in your Sitemap you should have a page called Members. It may not have the proper permissions on it and will probably be set to hide from the navigation, but it should be there, and it should function at least somewhat close to what you need.
I futzed around with that... you may recall helping me OUT of this mess:http://www.concrete5.org/community/forums/customizing_c5/members-in...
And it was nowhere near what I needed as far as I could tell. Big, complicated mess to input members and the result looked like crap on the page which I couldn't figure out how to remove from my Navigation.
Ah, well I'm not familiar with any advanced member list add-ons in the Marketplace right now, but you do bring up a good idea for future development.
I do know that the Contact Directory add-on is probably closest to what you want, but it doesn't really hook into the site's member database. You can import massive amounts of members through CSV files though.

Thanks for your feedback. I guess I will look into it a bit sometime when I'm mentally prepared for extreme disappointment. Getting stuck with that Members Page disaster a few weeks back which LucasAnderson helped me out of was enough to make me very paranoid about touching that stuff. Last thing I need is to undo my hard work and display an embarrassing disaster which I can't seem to delete from the navigation again.

I might try to put together something quickly.

Yipes, at $75 that's pretty expensive, but at least it's five bucks cheaper than this one:http://www.concrete5.org/marketplace/addons/i-belong-the-paid-membe...
you can add a description area that has the features of a content bloc, is that what you want? i updated the demo too
Yes, a content block is exactly what I need. Is there a way to make the profile picture bigger that is relatively easy or do I have to dig through controller files and stuff to change the picture size?
Thank you for clarifying that for the most part it looks like the parts are all there. I just have to figure it out. Last time I tried it, I just ended up with a disaster, but now I know it is worth another look.

what you want to do is to create a new user attribute of text area(not text), and select the editor settings to be whatever you want (dropdown of options on bottom) but probably want simple, office, or custom. Set it to be viewable through public profiles and all that (check boxes) and then add the info for your people. for profile pictures i think youd have to dig around the php files, you could just delete the part that references them and then add your own image. sorry if im not being clear enough.
I don't see "simple, office or custom" options for text area. I'm guessing that is only available on the newest version of C5. I'm on the last version. Afraid to update since I read complaints of other people's sites breaking.
You can set those options underwww.www.yoursite.com/index.php/dashboard/settings/... and then the Rich Text Editor.
This is for ALL the content parts though, not just the profiles

thanks, but I didn't see any WYSIWYG option. I tried Advanced and then I tried Custom. Custom showed a bunch of text and a TinyMCE link, so i thought that was it, but it did nothing. When I add an attribute, I still only have a "TextArea" option with no WYSIWYG capabilities.
it should work for 5.4.1 too, thats what im on. screenshot attached
Had to upgrade to 5.4.1. It was not available on 5.3 or whatever. I didn't want to upgrade, but my site is apparently not broken, so maybe it's okay.
Thanks for all your help. Too bad all your info wasn't in one easy post to mark as "best answer."
