Sort Members By State!
 

Well since no one offered to make it for me, I have made it myself. I now have the full working version of the sort by state hack.

This is a rather large hack, although easy.
Install Time: 15 mins

Alright basically, I took out the default Location field in the vbulletin registration process and hardcoded a new one in. This does require you to lose data regarding you members locations. Simply PM all of them and ask them to update their profiles afterwards making the change.

Anyways. When you do sort by state, I took into account that some people will not return to your site and/or will not edit their profile, and therefor when you do sort by state, anyone with an invalid or blank state field will not be displayed. On my site this is a required field and it is set up that way in this hack.

You can see a live sample of this hack at my site,

Alright... one more thing before we get to the file.

There is more to come in the future.
1) Admin Functions - I would like to add the ability for admins to edit the location of members after this hack. They can still do if via the database.
2) State by State Sorting - View members from a single state of your choosing instead of all states.

Please read through the hack slowly and carefully and as normal back up your files before you edit them.


One final note I promise. Thanks to hellsatan for his assistance on a few sections of this hack. I greatly appreciated his assistance.
