Profile Enhancements - Customizable Roster (Member List)

Customizable Roster (Member List)
[How to] get a working Guild/Clan Roster

Note: This modification is now discontinued - this means that while it will remain available for download and use, support will no longer be provided as the thread is no longer monitored. Please see the 3.7 release of this modification for future updates here.

Introduction:

This Mod started off as a [How to] template modification. I have since added in permission control and an installer. Those that install this Mod will need to make adjustments to two templates and one phrase depending on what you want displayed. I'll include instructions for each step as well as optional changes you can make at your decretion.

Click the following link for a Guild Roster preview: http://vanguard.sacredhaven.org/forums/showroster.php

You'll notice that I use the "Extra Profile Fields Page" by Wired1. It isn't needed for the Roster, but I think it makes the field updates look nicer for the users.


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).

Step 1: Download the attached showrosterXXX.zip file.

Step 2: Upload the files to their correct directories.

Upload the showroster.php to the /forum/ directory.
Upload the bitfield_showroster.xml to the /forum/includes/xml/ directory.
Upload the spacer.gif to the /forum/images directory if you plan to use avatars.

Step 3: Admincp > Plugin & Products > Manage Products > Add/Import Product

Import the product-showroster.xml file.

Step 4: Admincp > Languages & Phrases > Phrase Manager > Phrase Type: ShowRoster > showroster_title --> Edit

Change this to whatever you want as the title of your roster.

Step 5: 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 6: Admincp > Styles & Templates > Expand > ShowRoster Templates > showroster_header

This template contains the headers for each of your columns. Add/Edit/Remove columns to your preference. Be sure to update the colspan to the number of columns you have.

Step 7: Admincp > Styles & Templates > Expand > ShowRoster Templates > showroster_userbits

This template gets the data from each of the fields you want to have viewed on your roster. Add/Edit/Remove columns and/or the nowrap="nowrap" to your preference. Be sure to update each of the field#'s to match the fields from Step 5.

Step 8: Admincp > Usergroups > Usergroup Manager > Edit Usergroup

• Set "Access - Should this usergroup have access to the Showroster page?" to Yes for whatever groups you want to have permissions to access the showroster page.
• Set "Viewable - Should this usergroup be viewable on the Showroster page?" to Yes for the groups you want to have appear on the showroster page.

All instructions are included in the instructions.txt and optional.txt.

Enjoy!!!


Versions:

v1.1.3 - April 22, 2007

• Added 'Who's Online' plugin to the installer (Thanks m002.p).
• Made an update to the optional.txt file for changing the default sort.

v1.1.2 - April 20, 2007

• Added sorting to the roster. This is optional and will work without adding the sorting features.

v1.1.1 - April 19, 2007

• Small update. Just added total member count.

v1.1 - April 5, 2007 (Mod Revamp)

• Revamped everything. There is now an installer to do most of the work for you.
• The installer adds two new fields to your usergroup table. This allows you to set permissions for the showroster rather than using the showgroups permissions.
• Removed a few options from the optional.txt file since they are now a part of the mod.

v1.03 - April 2, 2007

• Added some code back to the showroster.php so join date, last activity, and usernames HTML markups could be used.
• Changed $user[username] to $user[musername] in the showroster_userbits template. This will allow HTML markups to the usernames again.
• Added instructions on how to change which usergroups appear on the Roster.
• Added optional.txt to the zip for optional changes.

v1.01 - March 27, 2007

• Changed a few variable names.
• Changed template names.
• Removed a lot of unneeded code from the showroster.php.
• Added the ability to include user avatars.
• Added a counter to keep track of how many users in each usergroup.

v1.01 - March 9, 2007

• Removed a lot of unneeded code from the SHOWROSTER template.
• Fixed a couple code problems.

v1.0 - March 6, 2007 (Initial Release)

Thanks for all your help once again.

Awesome, great news!!! You are welcome and glad I could help.

With your last version, I was able to display these entries...

<td class="$bgclass" nowrap="nowrap">$user[onlinestatus]</td>
<td class="$bgclass" nowrap="nowrap">$user[lastonline]</td>

But now they don't show up. What do I need to do/add to get these to show up in the showroster_userbits template?

Thanks in advance for your help!

Ahhh, sorry about that. I didn't know anyone was using it. I put the code back in and will be sure to include it in the new version.

Updated showroster.php is attached below.

It worked great, and thanks for all your hard work.

You see what I did with it [here]

You're welcome. Too bad your site is blocked from .mil. I'll check it out later from home.

LOL, yea, I am retired .mil, so I know.

Also, the number count does not appear next to the usergroup name in the heading as shown on your site. Maybe I did something wrong.

now only if i could get the tables to line up properly
i did some template edits to get the roster to show up like this seen here.http://sacred-dragoons.com/forums/showroster.php


here are the new edits

open showroster_header

and over write code with this

<table class="tborder" cellpadding="$stylevar[cellpadding]" cellspacing="$stylevar[cellspacing]" border="0" width="100%" align="center">
<tr>
	<td class="tcat" colspan="9">$user[title]</td>
</tr>
<tr>
	<td class="thead"><center>$vbphrase[user_name]</center></td>
	<td class="thead"><center>Character Name</center></td>
	<td class="thead"><center>Character Class</center></td>
	<td class="thead"><center>Character Level</center></td>
	<td class="thead"><center>Character Sex</center></td>
	<td class="thead"><center>Avatars</center></td>
	
$rosterbits
</table>
<br />

then open the template showroster_userbits

and overwrite code to this

<tr>
	
	<td class="$bgclass">
		<a href="member.php?$session[sessionurl]u=$user[userid]"><center>$user[username]</center></a>
	</td>
	
	<td class="$bgclass" nowrap="nowrap"><center>$user[field6]</center></td>
	<td class="$bgclass" nowrap="nowrap"><center>$user[field8]</center></td>
	<td class="$bgclass" nowrap="nowrap"><center>$user[field10]</center></td>
	<td class="$bgclass" nowrap="nowrap"><center>$user[field11]</center></td>
	<td class="$bgclass"><center>$avatarimage</center></td>

</tr>

this is not a required change it was a personal preferance of mine.

<td class="tcat" colspan="9">$user[title] &nbsp; ($usercount)</td>

Brian, html and tables are my top skills. Link me your showroster and post the code for your _header and _userbits. I'll get that working for you in no time.
