How to create a dropdown of members' usernames?

ZenBug 18 Sep 2015 16:13 question, complete

Hi there.

I have a site running Low Search and Zoo Visitor. I want to have a search form that includes a dropdown box that contains all the site members' usernames. When the user selects one and clicks the Search button, the results page would show only entries from the selected member.

Seems simple enough but I'm having trouble.

Thanks!

    I think your best bet is to use the Query module with a query like 

    SELECT username FROM exp_members ORDER BY username

    Oh really? I figured the Low Search Members add-on would be for this purpose (https://github.com/low/low_search_mem...).

    No?

    Well, the answer to your question "How to create a dropdown of members' usernames?" is using the Query module. That will generate a list of usernames.

    You can then use the username param to filter the entries generated by that list: https://ellislab.com/expressionengine...

    Just make sure the select has name="username" defined.
