I developed this mini-mod having in mind to deliver a better interface, more info and more configurable Memberlist replacement. Of course you can use it as standalone, or change the link to your navbar to redirect to my page.
1.- What I've in mind to improve next days
To change the info given in blocks for most active with number of posts and other statistics
To change the profile in listing by adding more info (eg biography etc). All of them can be turn On/Off by admin. Also to place in profile a popup with related options (eg Email, PM, Add to Buddy etc).
To add Advanced search, but much more powerfull than vB's. This is the reason that I left empty the left side bar.
To add in profiles other useful information pulling them from popular mods (eg vbCredits).
2.- Installation
Installation is pretty easy:
Upload all files and directories including at "vbulletin" directory to the directory where vBulletin is installed.
Check at your AdminCP->vBulletin Options->Plugin/Hook System that Plugin system is enabled.
From your AdminCP->Plugin System->Manage Products choose Add/Import Product and import the product: product_memberindex.xml
Set the various options at: Member Index Options. If you can't see the menu on the left, press F5. Don't forget to choose which usergroups to show.
If you want to replace your current member list, you must edit the navbar template to point to memberindex.php instead of memberlist.php Otherwise you can add a seperate menu.
3.- For your info
This is not a Lite version, as I'm not planing to release a Commercial one. But you can find in our site, a Brand Free version for $15, a very fair amount as I believe. I don't like donations, so this is a great way if you want to support my work and to get something back in exchange.
btw i think it will be great to be able to add our selfs who show in for example the admin box as I have more than one admin groups
I left it for the end... it's pretty easy to do it as I've already another mod for forum home. An altrarnative way, is to mark yourselve (or anyone you want) as Featured member and show them (in random) in a special block (should be on tomorrow's release). Also members marked as featured, will have different background color in listings to catch the eyes.
Sorry, but why to remove my copyright? Don't I deserve a credit for the time that I spent for it?
In any case, as I don't like donations, there is a Brand Free version in our site for $15. I believe that it's a very fair price. But it's better to wait till the final release later today.
Thank you
Marina
Marina, I whole heartedly agree that you deserve credit. And credit is left on the one forum I installed this on.
However, I have a brand free VB license that I keep link free and have spent alot of money for many brand free licenses (all photopost products, VB itself, several mods, and several other products). I was considering installing this mod on it...but to have links back to anything with VB defeats the purpose of having brand free licenses I've already purchased. If it were a site about VB or not a professional business site, I would not mind the credit. But, one out of four forums I have requires brand free all the way. And I have paid good money to keep it that way.
I hope you understand that it's not a question of whether credit is deserved or not. It's a question of how brand free a site wants to remain.
Thanks for all your hard work. It is truly appreciated.
