Meet our Team in Forumhome
by vbFrerlancers

New features in version 1.1.0

1. Now you can choose to show user's Avatar or Image. If you choose Image and there is no one, then user's Avatar is displaying
2. You can choose any usergroup you want to show
3. Code moved to hook system, so you don't need any file or templates modifications.

I developed this mini-mod for our site, but I thought that maybe some of you, need something like this, so I added some attractive options to fit to your special needs.

1.- What it does

Very simple things comparing with our other mods. This shows your site's team in forum home. It's a good way to introduce yourselves to your visitors and members.

2.- Options


I believe that I added lots of configurable options (have more in my mind), but everything is depending on it's popularity. The default options are:

1. Show/Hide the blocks
2. How many members to show in the block
3. Choose to show Avatar or user's Image
4. If you choose Image you can setup the max width
5. What interface to use for the block (Table or Fieldset)
6. If it's table to use border or not
7. Show header for the block or not
8. Text to use for header
9. Show online/offline status (Yes/No)
10. Show last activity (Yes/No)
11. Text for Last Activity (eg Last seen)

3.- Installation


Installation is pretty easy:

1. Upload all files and directories including at "vbulletin" directory to the directory where vBulletin is installed.
2. Check at your AdminCP->vBulletin Options->Plugin/Hook System that Plugin system is enabled.
3. From your AdminCP->Plugin System->Manage Products choose Add/Import Product and import the product: product_siteteam.xml
4. Set the various options at: Meet Our Team Options. If you can't see the menu on the left, press F5

4.- Upgrade from versions 1.0.0 & 1.0.1

1. Revome the code that you've added at index.php
2. Remove the variable $siteteam from FORUMHOME template
3. Follow the steps for a new installation

That's all. Hope to enjoy it

Is there a way to use this with vbAdvanced CMPS? I would like this on my homepage instead of or along with the forum home.

Ditto,

I think this would look so much better above the who's online box rather then stuck at the bottom of the forum. It currently looks out of place.

Did anyone get an answer on how to relocate this to where you want it instead of at the bottom of forumhome? I would like it to be under the stats.

Uninstalling NOW.

Alright people. I've figured out what the issue is.

The Problem:
Unfortunately, the mod was made for php4, not php5. Those of you running php5 on your servers will receive this error.

Solution:
Go into Plug-in Manager and edit the Show Meet our team at forum home page plug-in.

Change this:

$tmp = unserialize($user["phrasegroup_siteteam"]);

to this:

$tmp[] = unserialize($user["phrasegroup_siteteam"]);

No more errors for those of you running php5. Worked for me.

Thanks again to Abe1 who helped me figure this out!!
