Forum Home Enhancements - Cel Sponsors/Subscribers on Forumhome

New Version 4.0.005
The new version fixes a style issue that was caused by style changes in vB 4.0.8. Do install this new version only when upgrading to vB 4.0.8.

This mod will show the subscribers of a given paid subscription at the bottom of your forumhome in the What's Going On block. I'm using this to show and thank my forum sponsors.


Features

• Show subscribers of one, more or all paid subscriptions in WGO on Forumhome (default: subscription with the ID 1)
• Users who themselves are subscribers:
  • can be shown a thank you message (phrase, completely customizable)
  • will see the date their subscription(s) expire(s)
  • can see their username colored, depending on when their subscription expires (customizable, defaults: one week before->green, three days before->red)
• Admins will see the subscribers sorted by expiry date (closest expiry date first), color markers as described above and the actual expiry date as a tooltip.
• Other customzation: box title (phrase), icon, box title and icon link
• Set a limit to how many users are shown. If a limit is set, the subscribers will be selected randomly, but the current user will always be shown. Show all link, can be set for certain usergroups only.
• Restrict mod execution to defined usergroups.
• Please note: The standard image used on installation was changed in vB4. If you don't see an image, you need to adapt the setting in AdminCP.

Installation

• import product file
• go to AdminCP->Options->Cel Sponsors/Subscribers on Forumhome and do settings

Templates and phrases used (for customization only)

• forumhome_cel_sponsors: the template for the whole box
  • calls phrase cel_sponsors_title: The title for the box
  • calls phrase cel_sponsors_message: The thank you message for subscribed users
  • calls template forumhome_cel_sponsors_msgbit: the notices about subscriptions the current user has and their expiry date.
    • calls cel_sponsors_msg_single or cel_sponsors_msg_multiple, epending on how many subscriptions are active for the user
  • calls template forumhome_cel_sponsors_eachsub: the formatting of the line that lists the subscribers or a subscription
    • calls cel_sponsors_subusers: the formatting of a single username in the list and the seperator (default: comma)

I don't see anything after install!

Chances are you have either

• not added the right subscription ID in AdminCP (not: Usergroup ID!)
• deactivated the mod in AdminCP
• no subscribers yet to the subscription you defined
• a heavily customized skin. Check whether the template hook forumhome_wgo_pos2 is present in your FORUMHOME template

Screenshots

• screenshots: vB 3 version.

New build for RC2: v4.0.004

Template adaption only. Note that the functionality to collapse has been commented out in template due to the standard wgo subblocks in vB4 still missing this functionality. If you want to use it anyway, remove the comment tags (<vb:comment> and </vb:comment>) in forumhome_cel_sponsors template.

Excellent and Installed! Could you possibly add a Widget for the forum home to go with it?

I'll look into that for a future version. ATM I don't have the time, sorry

Also modified the settings of this mod to reflect compatibility with vB4 Gold (no update needed).

problem explain with screenshot ..

do you have any idea why its , , , , , ?

izzit becouse their nick with ascii or non A-Za-z0-9 ?

[cellarius]

Sorry, I don't really know what is happening at your forum - it seems the mod is drawing empty usernames. It can't be because of A-Za-z0-9, since even your screenshot shows usernames that have characters outside that range, and on my testsite the mod handles non-ascii-characters well (tested with arabian, see screenshot).
