Member Profile Locater

Member Profile Locater (v1.2)
By Boofo

Thanks goes out to the Madman for teaching me to use code that is already there to accomplish different tasks. Thanks also goes out to Gamingforce for his original "Member Profile Quickfind" on which this hack is based.

What this hack will do:

It will take the top three tables you have in the Member's Listing and combine them all into one connected table. You will be able to do non-case sensitive full, or partial, searches for member names. If only one instance of the member name (or search string in a member's name) is found, then it will take you directly to that member's profile. If more than one instance of the search string is found, it will display a listing of all member's names (containing the search string) so you will be able to choose which member's profile to view.

Tested on vBulletin 2.2.5
File to modify: 1 (root/memberlist.php)
Template to modify: 1 (memberlist)
Templates to add: 3 (error_invalidusername, redirect_memberfound, error_search_noletter)
Installation Time: 5 minutes

If you find this hack useful, please click the install button.

v1.0 - First Release
v1.1 - Updated memberlist template instructions.
v1.2 - Updated instructions for those installations that have bira's "Away User" hack installed.

Enjoy!

Boy, you were right there waiting, huh? :) Let me know how smooth the install is on this, will you? :)

Did you get the browsers installed yet?

[Chris M]

I sent you a PM about that...It mucks up my templates...

The instructions werent clear as to where to put it;)

As for the memberlist thing : Very smooth an Install...I wasnt quite sure what you meant about removing, until I viewed the Previews, and saw that there were 2 instances of "View by Date Registered" etc at the top;)

Cool hack :)

[Boofo]

That yellow color I used it the error templates really looks good on your site. :) That was lucky. ;)

It is:)

@Boofo - Yeh:) My Default Style looks good with Yellow...

If you login as the vBdotorg account, on the SuperBlue style, I had to change the colour to blue;)

[Dean C]

[Boofo]

The install file in the first post has been updated. Sorry about the confusion. :)

[Boofo]

Did the new instructions in the install file help you? :)

Your installation file seems the same. It also says (v1.0) at the top of it.

I couldn't find anything on the "away" hack in there, except for the fact that it displayed the "Away Users" search option, but it's unnamed within memberlist.php.

[Boofo]

Clear your cache and try it again. I just re-checked it and the updated file is in the first post.

In the Away Users hack thread there is an addon for the memberlist.php. Since I have that installed, I thought I would add that to the install file for users who already have that in their memberlist. If you don't have the addon installed, just use the code that doesn't include the Away Users column from the install file.

im getting the same problem.......

[Boofo]

Do you mean that you are getting the old file? I don't know who that can be, I just downloaded it and it is the new one. Did you clear your offline cache as well?

[Erwin]

Boofo, what you can do is delete the installation file, then reupload it again. That would clear the cache. However, you lose the download count.

[afterlab]

Ah, it took some figuring out, but I got it working with the new version on there. Thanks for the hack again.

[afterlab]

Umm, Boofo, the new instructions still don't add anything about Searching for Away users except adding it to the template. Adding something to the template is like 1/2 of the job, you still need to code it in memberlist.php so that it'll display the away users.

[BigJohnson]

ya true some please update thanks

[Boofo]

That's what I did when I uploaded the new version file.

[Boofo]

afterlab and BigJohnson, I have updated the installation file in the first post with the instructions for adding the Away User's Hack search ability for the Member Locator. I didn't add it in the first version because I didn't think there were that many people who wanted that added to the memberlist search. It should now work as you wanted.

Great job, Boofo. I installed v1.2, and it worked quite easy. Thanks again for the help.

[Boofo]

No problem. Sorry that I didn't include it from the beginning. :o

[Boofo]

Here is a picture of what the "Member Profile Locater" will look like after it is installed for those who want to know what it will look and what it is supposed to do. :)

Works bootifoll:p

When I go to my memberlist I can't go past the first page of names. Page two reverts to page A.

What's going on? Help ASAP!

What version of vb are you using? This hack really shouldn't have anything to do with what is going on.

Try taking the hack out and see if you are still having the same problem. If it fixes it, let me know and I will see what I can figure out.

[amykhar]

Hey Bob! One of my members just requested your hack :D

http://www.eaforums.com/forums/showthread.php?s=&threadid=23019

Guess I better get busy and install it, huh?

[Boofo]

LOL @ Amy. You finally stumbled on to that old thing. But it still works like magic. ;) Enjoy! ;)

[Oblivion Knight]

Heh.. Only just come across this one.
Nice little modification you have here Boofo, very handy.. ^^;

Installed and working flawlessly.

[Boofo]

Thank you for the kind words. ;) I am in the process of adding the ability to search by member's real name (if you have that hack installed, that is).

[Liz]

Does this by any chance work with 2.3.0? I tried putting it in, but it can not find the coding that is needed for the member.php file.

Thanks.

It works fine with 2.3.0. You need to find the code in the memberlist.php file, not the member.php. ;)

[Liz]

Ooops. I knew something was wrong. Serves me right for hacking late at night. I fixed it. Thanks.

Great hack by the way! ;)
