Thank you.

Let me see if I understand. You can have up to 5 characters per account. Each character gets 3 professions (classes). Max level for each profession is 5. Is that what you mean?

The way this hack is set up, each forum account gets one line on the roster each. You can have as many fields across as you like. So, if you really didn't care how far across you would have to scroll, you could put in as many as you like.

Now, if you'd want to have each account linked to multiple characters (more than one line), then there would need to be some additional coding. Honestly, I think a lot of coding.

You would be amazed with all the stuff you can do with this hack. I added roughly 200 lines of code to my showroster.php file, 13 lines per class in Vanguard. The new code calculates how many members in my guild have which class and their level range. The next step is calculating a need level for that class by taking the sum of each member at all level ranges. For example, if I only have 2 members in my guild for a class, that class is a great need; if I have 5 members between the levels of 30 to 50 for a class, that class is a low need. I created a template to display the number calculations and then another to rate each class.

This does 2 things.

First, I am able to quickly see the numbers I have for each class at all the different level ranges. That helps me keep track of my members and how the guild is doing. I keep this page restricted to officers only since members usually aren't concerned about that stuff.

Second, I created a CMPS module for my guild's home page. It lists what classes we are recruiting over others. It will also recalculate on it's own depending on whether we get someone new added to the guild or is we lose someone OR as members go up in level.

Feel free to take a look at the Recruitment Needs module on my guild's home page.

I'm only posting this for informational purposes. I won't be adding something like this to the hack because of all the extra lines of code and b/c I've only done it for my Vanguard guild. It can easily be done for practicially any roster though if you have a need. It would probably be more useful for larger guilds though since those are the ones that would be restricting some classes from joining the guild.

Enjoy!

Works well for my site although I have one small problem,

I have a Custom User Field that is a Single-Selection-Menu when I display this instead of displaying "Field Marshall" it displays "1" and for "General" "2"

Is there anyway to display the text rather than the field sequence please.

Thanks in advance.

I have about 3 custom user fields using Single-Selection Menu and they all display the text. I've never seen them display the field sequence before. I'd be interested in a link to your site as well as a copy of the showroster.php file and a posting of your showroster_userbits template.

Sarcoth,

Bizarrely I deleted the field and re-added and now working fine. Now to read the notes on how to sort by that field.:D

Thanks for the reply.

OK OK, I am stuck......

I am new at this previosuly a Nuke-Evolution user (PHP-Nuke variant).

Instead of sorting by user I would like to sort by field13.

I got working the optional sort but I would like this permanently sorted.

Thanks again its a great enhancement.

Sounds to me that you just want to make field13 your default field for sorting.

This is very similiar to #2 in the optional.txt file. Just take a look at that and instead of changing 'title' to 'usergroupid', change it to 'field13'. That will do the trick. I'm glad you got the other thing working. Let me know if you still have problems.

Thanks again have working nicely - all sorting.

I would however like to add Instant Messenger Icons is this possible, I tried by copying the code from the Memberlist display template but everything was blank.

Would appreciate if you could give me some guidance when you have chance on this.

Cheers,

Max

Great news! IM icons huh? I could easily get you icons that do nothing, but it will take some research getting them to work like the Memberlist. I'm working on some other projects right now and not sure when I will be able to get to that. If I come across something though, I'll post it here and send you a PM.

Hello, Im using this on my website currently and it is excellent. I use this mod for my gaming league and i love it. I have a request if anyone can point me in the right direction. Currently my roster looks like this

I was wondering if there was a way I could make it so that I can have 5 or so Person across instead of vertical. A crude example is the following

What I want to do: Name | Name | Name | Name | Name |

Mod Currently does:
Name
Name
Name
Name
Name

I was also wondering if it was possible to split the rosters into 2 groups with out modifying there usergroups. IE if I can split the group up by 1 of 3 based on an option perhaps like Class.

Any info would be great.
