Add-On Releases - vbGuild (full) - Guild/Clan Roster Plugin (multi-game, multi-char)

I'm no longer supporting it so I've published the most recent FULL version for free. I hope you all enjoy it.

Until now, there's been no vBulletin plugin that supports a guild whose history spans more than one game, one server, or with members having multiple characters in the same game. vbGuild is made with those guilds in mind. Define games, servers for those games, and traits for each game. A trait can be a text input value like surname or crafter type, a dropdown for values like race, class, or level, a radio button, or a check box. Set up each game's character history exactly as you want it. Determine which usergroups can record their characters on your board and which show up in your roster and then view that roster at any level, i.e. all games, one game, or one server.

The free version only supports one game and server nor will it see any future enhancements. You can find out about some of the planned enhancements, what the full version can do, and how to get it at Unmoderated Info.

This is our first mod and we're hoping to make it a major one over time. Please support the effort. Thanks and we look forward to hearing feedback.

It works with 3.7.x and higher. Please click installed.

Thoughts?

It looks like I had it fixed in one version of the file but not the one I uploaded. Really sorry about that and any inconvenience. I'm a distracted one-man operation here. Give it a try and if there's another problem I'll shoot myself and/or fix it; order of which to be determined based on severity of error.

Tried to install it but it says I need to use MySQL 5. My vB is currently using 4.1.22-log
Is it possible to change this without effecting the forums?

Change what? Are you asking if upgrading mySQL will harm your installation?

[Largo .//npc]

Yeah, pretty much.
I thought I had MySQL 5 on my server and it was selectable. Pretty sure of it.

[Deyth]

I know vBulletin supports mySQL 5 and that won't break. I would imagine mySQL devs have made it fairly painless to upgrade but I don't know what else you have on your web site that depends on mySQL so I can't speak to that. I certainly wouldn't want to be responsible for you breaking your entire site because you upgraded so all I can say is that vBulletin works with it.

Everythign else on my space is expendable tbh. My host is upgrading me to SQL5. Thanks for the info, I understand what's going on now xD

OK, I understand the install, but where would I find my server information for Warhammer Online?

I'm not sure what you mean. You have to manually enter everything you want available for selection. There's a plan to allow imports but it won't be ready for a bit.

I am trying to locate the warhammer online server link that goes into the server box or am I misunderstanding and this has to all, including the chacters, be entered manually?
