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.

Well 4.02 is sweet!

I did try to load the pre-release product xml for 4.03 said there was an error "XML Error: Invalid document end at Line 412"

But there were only 322 lines of code.

@ Cozmic - I'm not sure why you are getting that error. I just did a full uninstall of the mod and then a fresh install with no errors.

I just finished adding the permissions to the roster tab, so I'll provide a fresh file here. The showroster.php file isn't changing so I won't add that again (look up 2 posts). I'll gladly put my time into figuring out the problem you are having since I'd hate to see that happen during the release. Try the new file and describe everything in detail to me.

[CoZmicShReddeR]

Yeah silly me I tried to install the showroster.php wasn't paying attention!

[Sarcoth]

ROFL. Good one.

[CoZmicShReddeR]

Ok so the next release we will be able to chose the display groups order?

Also I had to revert from the test 4.03 because it wasn't allowing me to add a group to show roster the input was there but the field there was no text...

[Sarcoth]

@ Cozmic - Actually, I don't have a clue on how to setup a display order for the usergroups. The display setting I added won't care what order you type the numbers, it only sees the numbers as the usergroups you are allowing to be displayed.

So, that means you no longer control that setting from the usergroups area. Just type in all the usergroups you want on the roster in the ShowRoster Settings options area:
Usergroups displayed on the roster (comma separated ID list). Example: 19,13,24,20,17,18

I probably should have put them in numerical order, but that's how I added them as I went.

It is the 3rd setting down on the list. If you remove the bitfield xml file in the includes/xml folder, the input line in the edit usergroups area should be gone.

Thank you! This is wonderful!

I turned on the avatar, but the picture does not appear avatar - help.
Can I do this: in Showroster included only one group, but the result Showroster can watch all the groups?

[Sarcoth]

@ Viktor - Click install please.

Another setting somewhere else must be interfering with your avatar selection. I just turned mine on and it works fine. I'll go install this on my operation site so you can see what it looks like.

I'm not sure what your 2nd question is asking though.

I installed the update but don't get the avatar or last visited.
