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.

@ Viktor - Okay, it's installed. A bit crowded because of everything I have on, but it is working. I think I know the problem though because it didn't work for me at first either. I had all my templates edited from the previous version. You need to click on each of your edited showroster templates and then click on revert (to the right). When you do that, they will revert over to the newer version.

BEFORE you do that though, please remember to backup each of your templates. Copy/Paste them to a notepad or something. Do this in case you need to customize the new ones for some reason.

Let me know if that wasn't it. But, to be honest, I don't know what else it could be since mine worked. Here's the link to my roster:

Same to you Front Range. Make sure the templates are reverted. Backup prior if you need to. I'm heading home now so I'll check back on your status later tonight.

Yes ... Beautifully ...

You do not know how to configure URL ShowRoster of vBSEO to display a friendly URL?

Forgive me, I'm bad at english.

I want to include ShowRoster only for one group of users. What would have looked ShowRoster all groups. Now ShowRoster sees only one group that participates in ShowRoster

I figured English was not your primary language, so no worries. I will try to help, but I still do not understand. I am sorry.

If I were to guess what you want. You want to display only one usergroup on the roster but you want to give access to all usergroups. Let me know if you understand that and whether that is what you want or not.

I've reverted templates, deleted files, re-installed and can't get anywhere. Not sure why but I might have modified too many things to expect it to work.

I'm not even thinking of uninstalling because it's doing what I need wonderfully, just thought the avatar, join date and last visited would be nice.

FrontRange - I'll take a look at your templates if you want. Either post them here or send me a PM with a login to your forums (w/template admin access).

In other news. I just successfully got a couple new features working. The ability to set the default sort (ASC or DESC) for each column and whether the roster is sorted by groups or not. I haven't added it for all columns yet, but if you want an idea of what I mean, check out my roster. If you click on the Status sorter at the top, you'll see an example of sorting without groups. If you click on the Character Name sorter, you'll see an example of sorting DESC (descending or reverse).

Now, for the big question. I'm noticing that I keep adding more and more options to the settings page. My question is, is it too much? I want to make it as customizable as possible, but the settings page is getting huge. What do you think? What do you want?

I'm off to bed!

Sarcoth, I figured out the groups!

Left open the question of avatars - they are not, do not appear in ShowRoster
I reinstalled modes, but it did not help. Avatars always included.

[Sarcoth]

Does anyone have the avatar's working? If not, can someone set me up with access to their site. I want to figure out what is wrong. I've installed mine over and over and everything works fine on my test site and home site.
