philip Jacobs	Wednesday 21 April 2004 8:59:55 am Hello, I work through the HowTo Manual ( Building an ezpublish Website). There a memberlist is created. However, the author realizes the member-area with a special new contenttype. I want to use the buildin User Class to make the list. The problem is that the useres are not a content class and that Idont't want to create Useres in the content group Content->Folder->User1, User2. Instead of this The Folder(Memberfolder) should generate the List and a presenatation of the Member (like the HowTo) without any Users in itself.

However, they are not placed under "content", instead they're placed under "user". Use the admin interface to find the node ID of the group(folder) that contains your users. Use that ID to fetch from and simply just display the attributes that you wish to display. You can also extend the built in user class (add an image, etc.) without any problems. Cheers. Balazs
