Member Profile Locater

Member Profile Locater (v1.2)
By Boofo

Thanks goes out to the Madman for teaching me to use code that is already there to accomplish different tasks. Thanks also goes out to Gamingforce for his original "Member Profile Quickfind" on which this hack is based.

What this hack will do:

It will take the top three tables you have in the Member's Listing and combine them all into one connected table. You will be able to do non-case sensitive full, or partial, searches for member names. If only one instance of the member name (or search string in a member's name) is found, then it will take you directly to that member's profile. If more than one instance of the search string is found, it will display a listing of all member's names (containing the search string) so you will be able to choose which member's profile to view.

Tested on vBulletin 2.2.5
File to modify: 1 (root/memberlist.php)
Template to modify: 1 (memberlist)
Templates to add: 3 (error_invalidusername, redirect_memberfound, error_search_noletter)
Installation Time: 5 minutes

If you find this hack useful, please click the install button.

v1.0 - First Release
v1.1 - Updated memberlist template instructions.
v1.2 - Updated instructions for those installations that have bira's "Away User" hack installed.

Enjoy!

Did the new instructions in the install file help you?

Your installation file seems the same. It also says (v1.0) at the top of it.

I couldn't find anything on the "away" hack in there, except for the fact that it displayed the "Away Users" search option, but it's unnamed within memberlist.php.

Clear your cache and try it again. I just re-checked it and the updated file is in the first post.

In the Away Users hack thread there is an addon for the memberlist.php. Since I have that installed, I thought I would add that to the install file for users who already have that in their memberlist. If you don't have the addon installed, just use the code that doesn't include the Away Users column from the install file.

im getting the same problem.......

[Boofo]

Do you mean that you are getting the old file? I don't know who that can be, I just downloaded it and it is the new one. Did you clear your offline cache as well?

Boofo, what you can do is delete the installation file, then reupload it again. That would clear the cache. However, you lose the download count.

Ah, it took some figuring out, but I got it working with the new version on there. Thanks for the hack again.

Umm, Boofo, the new instructions still don't add anything about Searching for Away users except adding it to the template. Adding something to the template is like 1/2 of the job, you still need to code it in memberlist.php so that it'll display the away users.

ya true some please update thanks

[Boofo]

That's what I did when I uploaded the new version file.
