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.

K not to be offensive, but why does it matter how we get it as it is pretty irrelevant?

Our site is tied to our gaming servers, so we use Steam IDS to give out admin.

Now with the steam id converter I posted earlier are you able to make the links clickable to go to their profile homepage? All I want is so once you click it, you go to their profile homepage on the steam community site.

Simple as that.

Well, I wanted to know so I could do some testing since I really don't like giving out untested code. I know a way is possible, but I was hoping to have all information in front of me before testing. I really don't want to ask again though so I'm going to pass. I have an alternative for you though that is a lot simpler and I've already tested it. Create another field and ask the users to enter their steamcommunity IDs (i.e. bogbouncer).

Then use that field to provide the link for your SteamID#. Basically, you'll still display only the SteamID#, but it will then use the other field to generate your link.

<td class="$bgclass" nowrap="nowrap" align="center"><if condition="($user[field42] == '')">$user[field9]<else /><a href="http://steamcommunity.com/id/$user[field42]">$user[field9]</a></if></td>

field9 = to the field number of your SteamID#. (i.e. STEAM_0:1:17768031)
field42 = to the field number of your Steam Profile ID. (i.e. bogbouncer)

Much easier. Enjoy and good luck with your roster.

Any help would greatly be appreciated

Thanks for the awesome hack & any help u may offer

Two ways.

If you want to make this permanent, then go into the showroster.php file:
Find:

PHP Code:

if ($groupsort == '') { $groupsort = 'title'; } 


Replace with:

PHP Code:

if ($groupsort == '') { $groupsort = ''; } 


If you want to make this one of the sorting options, go into the SHOWROSTER template:
Find any of the sort fields, i.e.:

<td class="tcat" width="14%" align="center"><a href="$sorturl&amp;order=asc&amp;groupsort=field11">Field11</a></td>

Replace with:

<td class="tcat" width="14%" align="center"><a href="$sorturl&amp;order=asc&amp;groupsort=''">Users</a></td>

STATUS UPDATE: I have given this mod a complete facelift. All of the old code has been converted to vB4 effectively. While trying to look for ways to do some things, I learned that a lot of vbulletin code has been changed, and because of that I was able to remove various things from mine (namely the functions). I still need to test the avatar and profilepic part, but everything else appears to be working.

My biggest roadblock right now is trying to find a way to move the permissions to an options menu rather than using the edit usergroup area. I was able to move the access permissions for that over, but I still don't know how to get the usergroups that need to be displayed on the roster moved.

I also need to get the columns moved to the showroster option menu as well as some other things I am adding. My goal right now is to make it so you don't have to do any edits to the php or the templates (unless you require something outside what the default roster does).

For those interested, I hope to have an update posted within the next two weeks.

Heres a hard question...

If I have field 5, 6, 7, 8 displayed for all "normal" users but I want only fields 9, 10, 11 showing for certain users(or usegroups) how would I go about doing this?

[Covert-OPs_]

Is this mod working with 4.0.2?

[betts02]

How would i go about adding

<vb:if condition="$post['fieldXX']"><tr><td class="vbmenu_option">
<iframe src="http://gamercard.xbox.com/{vb:raw post.fieldXX}.card" scrolling="no" frameBorder

To this roster so it shows the xbox live gamer card also ?

cheers in advance

Hey how can we re-order the way usergroups are listed?
Heres mine http://www.brotherhoodofgamers.com/showroster.php

I wana re-order the way usergroups are listed top to bottom, and is it possible for me to put a centered image above each usergroup? If so how? Thanks.

I'll try to answer this one tonight.

Yes, it is working for me.

I can't swear this will work the way you want without some testing, but instead of using post.field, you should use the $user[field15].

<vb:if condition="$user[fieldXX]"><tr><td class="vbmenu_option">
<iframe src="http://gamercard.xbox.com/$user[field15].card" scrolling="no" frameBorder

I'll have to do some testing on it later and let you know. To be honest though, this will change completely with the update I am hoping to get out soon. I changed a lot of stuff on how things are done.

The best way to order the usergroups is by redoing them. The default code does the usergroups in order of title. You could order them by usergroupid instead, but that means you may have to redo them from scratch. The alternative is to keep it ordered by title and rename your usergroups to something like a-usergroup1, b-usergroup2, c-usergroup3. Then in the php code, you could set up a case/if statement. if title=a-usergroupa then $title=usergroupa. Then you would have to use $title in the template rather to fix the problem. I'll try to put together a how-to on how to do this once I get the update done. I need to iron out the current release right now.
