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.

I have class all day Tuesdays and Thursdays, so I probably won't be able to get to answer you again until tomorrow. Anyhow, your problem is either one of two things:

1) You do not have the correct "Usergroups displayed on the roster" set.
2) You have a field being filtered that is preventing everyone from appearing on the roster. Remove the "field7" or whatever number you have there so nothing is being filtered out. "Choose a field to be filtered (I.E. field7). Users that leave this field blank will not appear on the roster."

I will have to leave that field blank in the future since this is the second time someone has had that problem. I'll add it to the FAQ though.

Categories: Once the roster displays users, you'll have better luck in getting that to work. Just play with it. You'll need to pick a column that users have things in common with other users. I'll gladly explain it more in detail when you get the roster working. Just ask the questions.

There are various ways you can get users assigned to the roster automatically. One way is by using the filtering field. When they update that field so it is no longer blank, they'll appear on the roster. Another is by using another mod that puts the users in different usergroups when they accomplish certain things on the forum. When they are put into the usergroup you have set for the roster, they'll then appear. You could also use another mod that makes them fill out a form, when they fill it out, they are moved to a usergroup that puts them on the roster. I only provide support for the filtering though, and there is not much more I can say on that.

In between classes right now. Not sure about the post count because it all depends on whether it is in the user table or not. I don't think it is, but perhaps the post count can be pulled globally. You can organize the usergroups anyway you like; check out the txt files that came in the Mod and one of them gives a brief description of each setting.

Please click installed for this mod.

It doesn't show how to order them by how you like i have 8 member ranks there all mixed up and not in order the leader rank should be at the top but it's at the bottom.

You add your usergroups in the order you want them displayed.

Yeah i don't get it how. "usergroupid" doesn't show by name only number

Leader
co-leader
staff
lower-staff

right now it's

co-leader
staff
lower-staff
Leader

Expand is not in the Styles & Templates. He is telling you to Expand the ShowRoster Templates section. So it will actually look like this:

Admincp > Styles & Templates > ShowRoster Templates > (all the templates)

usergroupid is only a number, so it cannot be sorted by name if this is what you are using. if you want to sort by the usergroup name the call will have to be done differently.

I'm sorry i don't understand how that would fix the roster.

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

what do i do there??
