How to customize the Options labels in a members list

#1

Hi,

I have a members list displayed on a page using the [s2Member-List /] shortcode, plus using the show_fields="photo-types" within the shortcode to show one of my profile fields.

And I’ve edited the LABEL for my field "photo-types" OK by changing it to this: show_fields="Favourite Photography:photo-types" (as per this article: https://s2member.com/kb-article/how-do-i-set-the-s2member-list-field-labels/ ).

So far so good… BUT I just can’t find a way to show the OPTIONS within this profile field as readable labels - it will only show the Option ID’s.

Eg: where WL is the Option ID for ‘Wildlife’, and LS is the Option ID for ‘Landscapes’ it will only show WL and LS in the members profile for the types of photography they like - so reading ‘Favourite Photography | WL, LS’ which isn’t very useful to other members.

Does anyone have any ideas how I can do this via shortcodes, like the Field label?

Any suggestions much appreciated.

PS: And interestingly I’ve even tried to change the Field Option ID to the SAME as the Field Option Label (eg: ID = Wildlife and Label = Wildlife) but it still shows the original ID of WL, despite clearing all caches etc. So not idea what’s happening here!

Update for anyone else that’s trying to do this:-

As this was falling into the too hard basket, I decided to just go for NO options in a profile field, leaving it blank so the members fill it in with normal text, and it now works as required.

And if, when you show these profile fields in your list of members, the text is cut off after about 50 characters it’s due to the white-space:nowrap; styling. Change this to white-space:normal; (or possibly just comment it out) in your child style.css and it works just fine. I’ve posted more details on it in this thread here: Creating a Member Directory - Increase length of List Field Value
