I like this roster Im in the process of installing it to my site, im wondering though is it possible to add a option to add characters that belong to members (since in most guilds almost everyone has a alt) so to display the alt level etc would be a nice feature to add.

Also would like the ability to allow users to add alts to roster. I run a site with 4 games. I need to be able to run a roster for each game. Some user have characters in a couple of the games so users would be allowed to add alts in any of thier choice. This would be an awsome mod if someone would help here.

Great mod.

I have some ideas to improve on this mod, I don't know if they have been brought up before as I haven't read the all the responses to this mod. But I'm just going to give you my ideas, take them or leave them I just want to share them.

The one way I see this working out as a great mod is by centering everything around creating rosters. You could create as many rosters as you like.

The options when creating the roster would be, name of roster, variable to call roster in template system, template to display roster (this would allow you to add all the fields you wanted and any html so you could make the roster look the way you wanted it to look) and of course sorting or manual sorting.

Once the roster is created. You can then add roster items. These items would either be an entire usergroup, specific users, or users based on a user field they have set or created as a hidden field by the administrator. The user field or specific users could be used to list administrators of specific game server. You could create usergroups instead, however who wants 5 usergroups just for a mod, it wouldn't be clean.

Furthermore, you may want user field roster items to be generated one creation and saved in the db. Calling a SELECT * on the user db for a specific field everytime someone loads the roster page would be time consuming on big boards. New users with new field items, well you could create a cron to do a daily update, or provide a link to re-generate the lists.

The last options would be sorting of the items within the roster, depending you may want founders first, then a specific group..etc. This is something that is huge.

I may be doing this for a site that I run at the moment, would it be possible for me to build on your mod? Or at least use bits and pieces giving you full credit for your work?

Cheers, and thanks again for a great mod.

That is an awsome idea. Do you think you would be able to do this yourself with the mod in hand. I have attempted to contact the coders here several times. Actually I'm a member of the vangaurds forums but yet to get a response from them. It is like the coders gave up on this mod. It has great potential.

Easy fix for this:

Change this line of code in showroster.php
to
as described in optional.txt

Then, edit the showroster_header template, and find this text:
and replace it with:

1. Has anyone figured out how to set this up to allow users to add multiple characters to the roster.

2. I am also interested in using this for multi game rosters all on same database.

I have searched and waited so long, i grow dim with hope. Someone has to know how to do this. I have attempted to contact mod creator but they arent respondinf to emails, IM's. Heck, I bough Vanguard just so I could talk to the coder but they havent been in game for awhile according to the people on their website and in game.

Anyone, anywhere, someone, somewhere.... help.

This is pretty much what I'm looking for as well, multiple toons per user and multiple rosters.

Hey everyone. I'm sorry I've been away so long. I started going back to school this semester and then on top of it all, my wife and I found a baby to adopt. All our time has been put towards the adoption and I haven't really had much of a chance at anything else. We are hoping to bring our baby girl home in the next couple weeks though. After that, I'll still be busy for awhile. But, as soon as things settle down I'll try to get back to work on updating this mod.

I'll try to reply to some of your questions over the next couple weeks. Please bare with me.

No worries. Thanks for the info and good luck with things!

I love this mod... just what I needed... couple of questions.

I have a couple different "styles (color schemes)" on my forum, the showroster mod is using the default one, but I of course don't want it to use that one. How do I make it use a different style?

Second, I'd like to make a clickable X-fire image link in one of the columns, that when you click it, it will interact with X-fire and automatically add the user. (Using the xfire:add_user... )

Any help, or any direction you can give I'd appreciate it. Thanks!
