Main FAQ

Q: I set the "Usergroups displayed on the roster", yet none of those users are appearing! What is wrong?
A: Calm down. You probably have the following set: "Choose a field to be filtered (I.E. field7). Users that leave this field blank will not appear on the roster." Make that field blank until you are ready to use it.

Advanced Usergroup Settings FAQ

Q: What is the Primary/Secondary usergroup setting?
A: All users on your forum are placed in a Primary Usergroup. Some are also added to Additional Usergroups (membergroups). You would use this setting if you want to have your users only in Primary Usergroups or Additional Usergroups to appear on your roster. By default, both options are used. This means, if you have two usergroups shown on your roster, then a user could appear twice on the roster if they are in both usergroups. Most should not need this feature, but feel free to play with it if you like.

Q: What about using the m= function for my roster?
A: You will need to turn on the Primary/Secondary usergroup setting to use this function. This will allow you to have a default roster, and then use the ?m= function if you would like to view the roster in other ways. m=1 is used if you want to see users in both the primary/secondary groups, m=2 is used to view users only in the primary groups, and m=3 is used to view users only in the secondary groups.

Q: What is the ID usergroup setting?
A: This is the main setting that will allow you to have multiple rosters. It can be used in conjunction with the primary/secondary usergroup setting for more indepth rosters. Just add an ?id= followed by all the usergroups you want to view (comma separated), and it will display those usergroups for you. I.E. showroster?id=13,14,15,16.

Q: What about the ID usergroup block setting?
A: This setting is for security purposes and allows you to block certain usergroups from being displayed with the ?id= setting. After all, we don't want anyone to stumble across any of your private groups and have access to all the users in that group.
