Profile Enhancements - Customizable Roster

Customizable Roster

Introduction:

This Mod is ideal for a Guild/Clan roster, but it is also a great replacement for the memberlist. Customize it any way you like: add or remove columns with just a few easy edits. The installer includes permission control that allows you to set which groups appear on the roster and which ones can view it. The most popular option is the ability to control advanced sorting; check it out!

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). When upgrading from version, make a copy of all your templates, then revert the templates back to their default, and then uninstall the older version. Also, make sure you delete the bitfield_showroster.xml file in the /includes/xml directory; this will cause database errors if not deleted.

Step 1: Download the showroster_vX.X.X.zip file and unzip it.

Step 2: Upload the files to their correct directories.

Upload the showroster.php to the /forum/ directory.
Delete the bitfield_showroster.xml in the /forum/includes/xml/ directory (if there).

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

Import the product-showroster_v4.x.x.xml file.

Step 4: 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 5: Admincp > Settings > Options > ShowRoster Settings

Update the settings for your roster: usergroups allowed to view the roster, usergroups that are displayed on the roster, the title and field# for each of your columns on the roster, and any of the many other settings.

Step 6: Admincp > Styles & Templates > Expand > ShowRoster Templates > SHOWROSTER, showroster_header, and showroster_userbits

You only need to adjust these if you have custom adjustments to make. Otherwise, there is no longer a need to change these.

NOTE: See installation and upgrading instructions in the included corresponding txt files.

Question... How do I order in which order the usergroups appear from top to bottom? www.brotherhoodofgamers.com/showroster.php

It appears it shows the user groups based on their user group ID. I hope that a future release can allow us to organize this.

The optional_changes.txt has a way for you to adjust how things are ordered. Let me know if that helps. Otherwise, describe what you want in depth and I'll see what I can think up. Make sure you give me the id's and names of the groups you are planning to use.

BTW, if you want me to look at your roster you'll need to turn on the access for unregistered.

ie ..... showroster.php?group=301

whereas 301 is the usergroup id

Interesting. I'm sure there is a way, I just need to think on it for a bit.

I can't get to the code right now, but I'll look at it in a couple hours. I may have something in the optional_changes.txt though, so check it out. I noticed you have a field for your members steam ID's. If you can provide me with a full link to one of those, I can probably make those ID's into links for your roster. Not hard to do. Also, don't forget to update the field names of your sorting area.

Wow making all those IDS into links... that is amazing. so once you click them, it takes you to their profile page... sweet. But I think you would need a converter and I have some place where I can get a converter for them into a link...

Anyway my Steam ID is: STEAM_0:1:17768031
It should link to my profile at: http://steamcommunity.com/id/bogbouncer
What also shows up on that roster is Steam Player ID but its named as Xfire at the moment of this post by accident...will fix that, that one is: bogbouncer (as you can see its on the link after /id/

And I looked at the extra txt file.. there was nothing about making the usergroups in a certain order I believe.

Thanks.

What are you using the IDs for then? What's the use for it? The IDs need to be part of a common URL, otherwise we won't be able to create a link with those.

[Bouncer222]

The ids we use as a community to identify players.. not gonna explain exactly right now..

Here is the html to convert it https://forums.alliedmods.net/showth...=60899&page=24

That's not the first post of that thread through just so you know, but I think that poster's html is the best. Hopefully you can figure out how to incorporate it so it does it automatically?

[Bouncer222]

BTW I would like the actual STEAM ID to remain as numbers, just that when you click on it.. it leads them to their profile page. So basically it would convert it in the "background"

I just looked over the code and it is sorting by Title by default (alphabetically). If you want to to change it to ID, you can do that by changing something in the .php file. Those instructions are definitely in the optional_changes.txt file (#2). If that doesn't put them in the order you want, you'll need to do some special coding in there. If you look at my example, I use title and I named my titles alphabetically so they would be organized the way I want them. I then add code to rename the titles what I want. I'll provide you with the code later, but you'll need to adjust it if that's the way you want to go.

Open the showroster.php, find: if ($grouporder == '') { $grouporder = 'asc'; }
Change to: if ($grouporder == '') { $grouporder = 'DESC'; }

Cool, I think I can do something with that. I'll look into it when I can.
