I believe it is possible to set it up like that regarding your first point. It would simply require the table / td code to be rewritten to display it the other way round than as default.

Your second point may not be easily done as Sarcoths hack is basically like showgroups.php and feeds information straight from what usergroups you have set. However, this doesnt mean to say its impossible as I think the code in the two templates can be modded to so the table displays differently.

If i get some free time before Sarcoth does, ill try look into it, but cant promise anything due to a busy work schedule at this time...

compatible with 3.6.8?

I don't mind that this is grouped by forum usergroups, but I would like the users in those usergroups sorted by their character Class and then Character Name.

So in SQL it would be ORDER BY usergroup, class, name I.E. two of those would be custom fields. Its way too rusty with PHP these days, anyone want to give me a hand with some additional sorting of this?

Yes it is compatible mate, there are no reported issues.

Never mind.. I broke down and looked up the stupid custom sort function... If anyone else would like to order by custom fields so that you have your users broken down by usergroups (as it is by default), and then arranged by a custom field (I use character class/profession), and then alphabetical by character name (as defined by a custom field, this is not the same as the normal username) the following code will work.

Below the print_users function, create a seperate function:

In my case, field6 is the character class, and field7 is the user defined character name. You may change these fields to any # you wish according to what fields you wish to sort by. In my case field6 is the first level to sort by, and field7 is the second.

*NOTE* If you want to arrange by the actual vBulletin username/login, I believe you can replace the above ['field7'] with ['username']

Now, scroll down until you see the chunk of code:
Replace that with:
That will give you a roster that looks something like:

GUILD ROSTER

Council:

Bian - Druid
Irk - Druid
Lila - Necro
Aaler - Ranger
Fina - Ranger
Taje - Warrior

Members:

Aamoon - Bard
Beats - Bard
Eyo - Bard
Yian - Bard
Kabb - Berzerker
Vash - Berzerker
Bin - Cleric
Fye - Cleric
Hika - Cleric
Laur - Cleric


etc etc etc.

Hope thats clear, and that i didn't forget to add anything :D

I like that idea bludysky. Is there a way to do that and set the order you want classes to be in? By this I mean like a ranking structure such as:

Council:

Bian - GEN
Irk - LTG
Lila - MG
Aaler - BG
Fina - BG

Members:

Aamoon - COL
Beats - LTC
Eyo - MAJ
Yian - CPT
Kabb - 1LT
Vash - PVT
and so on

Or even just a way to be able to move names up and down on the roster in the order you want them to be displayed in.

Thanks

Well I suppose you could do that by adjusting the myCmpName function. To do a more complex compare and sort. Would be a bit tricky and would be somewhat slow'ish though I would think. Instead of just doing a compare between two fields, you could do some switch statements to sort them into the right classes, and then do a compare on the name. At least I think that would work.

Thanks! jsut what i needed

Thanks for the reply, although I have no idea how to do any of that:D

I had a need for something similiar what your asking for here. Instead of the text for the rank I used the rank image, then I named those specific ranks (In User Profile field) with a number of the order I wanted them displayed by. Then when sorted they will fall in the roster by the number order. Its sort of a headache but it looks nice.

My Roster

You'll need to modify your showroster.php and include something similiar to the below.

After
Add the below, modified to your ranks

In your showroster_userbits templates you need to add the below where you want it to fall in the roster and add a column heading in the showroster_header

Of course make sure you include those images. Its been awhile since I did this and i'm not that savy. But, I hope this helps
