Profile Enhancements - Customizable Roster

Customizable Roster

Introduction:

This Mod is ideal for a Guild/Clan roster, but it is also a great replacement for the memberlist. Customize it any way you like: add or remove columns with just a few easy edits. The installer includes permission control that allows you to set which groups appear on the roster and which ones can view it. The most popular option is the ability to control advanced sorting; check it out!

Installation:

Step 0: If you are upgrading from a previous version, save a copy of your old showroster.php and rename your showroster templates (I recommend giving them an underscore prefix; Example: _SHOWROSTER). When upgrading from version, make a copy of all your templates, then revert the templates back to their default, and then uninstall the older version. Also, make sure you delete the bitfield_showroster.xml file in the /includes/xml directory; this will cause database errors if not deleted.

Step 1: Download the showroster_vX.X.X.zip file and unzip it.

Step 2: Upload the files to their correct directories.

Upload the showroster.php to the /forum/ directory.
Delete the bitfield_showroster.xml in the /forum/includes/xml/ directory (if there).

Step 3: Admincp > Plugin & Products > Manage Products > Add/Import Product

Import the product-showroster_v4.x.x.xml file.

Step 4: Admincp > User Profile Fields > Add New/Update User Profile Field

Add all the Profile Fields you plan to use and keep track of their number(s) (i.e. field6, field7, etc.).

Step 5: Admincp > Settings > Options > ShowRoster Settings

Update the settings for your roster: usergroups allowed to view the roster, usergroups that are displayed on the roster, the title and field# for each of your columns on the roster, and any of the many other settings.

Step 6: Admincp > Styles & Templates > Expand > ShowRoster Templates > SHOWROSTER, showroster_header, and showroster_userbits

You only need to adjust these if you have custom adjustments to make. Otherwise, there is no longer a need to change these.

NOTE: See installation and upgrading instructions in the included corresponding txt files.

@Gleedo - Yea, I just realized that myself actually. I will fix that in the next version, which I am trying to finish by the end of the week.

[Sarcoth]

Version 4.0.5 has been completed and will be posted shortly. In the meantime, here is the changelog.

Version 4.0.5 - August 12, 2010

• Templates: statbits has been added for the new statistics table. SHOWROSTER has had some code added to work with the new statbits template. Small changes have been made to other templates.
• CSS template has had some new code added to address the new statistics table.
• A new option settings "ShowRoster Group Settings" has been added for use with the new statistics table.
• A lot of new code has been added to the showroster.php file to work with the new statistics table.
• The image path that is used when a user does not have an avatar has been fixed.

You can see a working roster here: Sacred Haven Guild Roster

I do not have a walk through on how to use statistics table, you will have to play with it to figure out how they are set. If you are confused, I'll answer your questions here as long as you have the product listed as Installed.

At this time, I do not have any plans for future updates. I will always listen to suggestions, some of them I may add. Usually those that have numerous people interested in them. College starts up again next week for me, so I don't plan to have much time for this after that. I'll try when I can though.

On a side note, I am working on another modification to link the Vanguard: Saga of Heroes guild database with the showroster mod. I had it working back in 3.8, so I just need to rework the code.

Thanks to all those that have installed this mod. Special thanks to all those that have helped me with it over the last couple years.

[Sarcoth]

Wow. I cannot believe I had a release without any problems or questions. My classes start tomorrow so I'll assume all is well. I'll trust in Dragonsys and others in answering any questions you have. Otherwise, I'll answer them as soon as I can. It may take a day or two depending on my homework/study load, but I will get to them.

Requests/suggestions will probably be put off until December, but feel free to submit them. There's always a chance I'll find some time; just don't count on it.

Thanks for the update!

I've never had a problem with this mod not working for a higher version. My guess is that it will work for all vB4 versions. When it doesn't, I'll fix it. I haven't upgraded yet, but someone will surely tell me if they encounter a problem.

User Name SteamID - SteamProfile Post Count Date Joined Last Online Online Status

How did you add the field2 to the settings? You only typed field2 yes? You'll need to enter your SteamID in your own profile. If you've done all that, I'm not sure why it is not showing. What's the link to your roster? Make sure unregistered users can view it.

What extra categories do you mean?

Not sure how better to describe the location of the ShowRoster templates. If you are new to vb, then I don't recommend adjusting that anyhow. Get everything else you asked about working first.

Can you also make it possible that the ranks near the username are showed.

Checked a few things, but bbcode is not working same as HTML.

Cheers.

p.s it's also working for 4.06

Go to the showroster_userbits template:

Find:

			<a href="member.php?{vb:raw session.sessionurl}u={vb:raw userinfo.userid}-{vb:raw userinfo.username}">{vb:raw userinfo.musername}</a>

Somewhere near there (above, behind, wherever you think looks best), Add:

{vb:raw userinfo.rank}

I think it would look better if you switched out the code from one of the columns though.

I.E.:

<vb:if condition="$show[field1st] AND exec_switch_bg()"><td>{vb:var userinfo.{vb:var columns[column1]}}</td></vb:if>
