ACP option to modify username with CSS
ACP option so you can specify what usergroups the user can be pulled from
Fixed sigpic parsing in signature
Added option to specify if avatar or profile picture is used, which gets selected first and if one or the other is required

I had the first version of this installed and it seemed to work but when I upgraded everything went kablooey.

The avatars stopped showing up, although I did have a lot more options in the Admin CP.

I tried removing the hack entirely and reinstalling but that seriously destroyed the layout of my forumhome template and I got this error message.



Looks like if I check Location, Occupation and Reputation under the "Alternate Additions" the errors go away. They still don't show up in the user spotlight when checked though. I went to uncheck them and see if I could reproduce the error and they won't stay unchecked.

The only one that will go back and forth between checked and unchecked is Signature. It doesn't show the signature when you check it though and I get this error (in addition to the screen layout going bonkers).

Hi there. I love this mod and have installed it. I don't have the updated version since the other one worked fine for me on 3.8.3.

I was wondering if you could consider adding in Minimum days since last post? I have some users that log in regularly but have not posted in a while. It would be nice to have this additional filter option if possible. Thanks for reading. :)

Can you try the 1.5.2 version and let me know if you still have the same problems?
I moved the code around dealing with the errors you are getting and they shouldn't show up anymore.

Okay, so I uninstalled the old one, reinstalled with product version 1.5.2 and overwrote all of the FTP files with the new ones.

Well, the layout problems seem to be gone when this is active and it looks like the boxes check and uncheck like they should for Alternate Additions.

Bugs:

Avatars still don't show up no matter what I select in the drop down box.
None of the Alternate Additions appear in the User Spotlight when they are checked.
Custom Username CSS doesn't appear to work.
When the signature box is checked I still get the following error.



EDIT: Just wanted to note that I'm on vBulletin 3.8.4

Okay, so avatars seem to be working now.

Custom Username CSS and Custom Profile Fields don't seem to be working still (yes, I made sure the member in the spotlight had filled out the Custom Profile Field).

The only other issue I'm having now is that when the signature block is checked my forum layout goes bonkers. It's really not a big deal for me because I'm not going to include signatures in my spotlight but I just thought I'd point it out.

I get this error at the very top of my screen:



My page layout looks like the attached image. The text in his signature appears to be a BBcode link to his blog. (We don't allow HTML in signatures).

I should also note that I have Cyb - Sub-Forum Manager installed. Perhaps the two hacks just conflict for some reason. (CSS issues?)

I also noticed in the template there seems to be an if statement to span 3 columns, but I don't see the option in the admin cp anywhere. Am I just missing it?

I made an update with 1.6.2
Hopefully fixed the avatar issues with the different installation layouts, pretty much replicated the way vB sets the path to the avatar/profile pic
Fixed bbcode not parsing on custom fields
Switched code to use existing data so was able to eliminate all but 2 custom db queries, should be better on performance now.

Hm, it started working again on its own. I will keep you updated if there is a glitch again. :)

It seems to be a bit broken again.

It just ran its scheduled task and selected a user that did not meet the settings I had. I put that they had to have logged in within the last 7 days, this person hadn't logged in since October, and that they had to have posted within the last 14 days, and this person hadn't posted since May 2010.

Any ideas on how I can fix this?

I see you have the option to select what usergroups can view the spotlight box but what about an option for the admin to select what usergroups can be randomly selected? I ask that coz I am getting banned users come up and obviously I do not want a banned member in the spotlight.

Hi,
I am running 3.8.6 and I have carried out installation instructions but I get nothing. I tried IE 8 and FF and same result. Look at the pic.

Everything is working great. :) I just had a question about the random member selection. Will it cycle through all of the members and not repeat anyone until it starts over again? Or is it truly random and some people could show up 3 times and others not at all? I have a member who has been in the spotlight twice now so I was wondering.

What do you have in the settings area for the Member ID and is it a valid user? It looks like what I would expect if you had an invalid userid in there.

Thanks I updated, however now it appears like the cron never runs, due to the fact the user never changes.

I have even run the cron manually, and the user still does not change.

I have this set to daily:

When to run
Choose how often you want the scheduled task to run.

And I have not edited anything anywhere.

When I upgraded I chose overwrite in all incidences.

What info do you what? just the username? and which do you want, a week or a month.
