Differences in functionality between Members Directory and EMD

[dudezilla80]

Are there any functional differences between Enhanced Members Directory and the classic Members Directory? Or is it just the layout (HTML & CSS) change?

If there are any performance improvements please let me know, because the bugs in EMD had me leaning towards the classic Members Directory while making a choice.

Thanks in advance!

@dudezilla80 ,
There are no functional difference in the Memberlist and emd only the layout differences are there.

Oh, but yes, there are. After countless hours of bug tracking, I found out that EMD uses a different, very badly made search function. You also confirmed this in this thread: http://userproplugin.com/userpro/forums/topic/search-not-working-in-emd-on-custom-field-with-multiple-values/

Please update your documentation and product description so the users won’t run into the same problems as I did.

Apologies for your disappointment , I have added the multiselect in emd to our to- do list and will try to update it in our future releases.
Thank you.

Can you make the filter a separate shortcode that can be modified to display vertically/horizontally. Also is there a timeframe on when the members directory shortcode will be mobile friendly?

Would like an update too please! Thanks!

I can second @dudezilla80 after hours of testing EMD and Memberlist v2, the search is a major problem in EMD, there is no way to have multiple custom fields in the search, and with only one custom field it’s not even working right.

Please keep us posted when the EMD will be optimized and debugged. Multiple custom fields must work right Instead of spending developping “collage layout” kind of stuff, I think you should spend time on support and make the coding and the basics work flawlessly. But that’s my two cents 😉

Thanks!
