Meet our Team in Forumhome
by vbFrerlancers

New features in version 1.1.0

1. Now you can choose to show user's Avatar or Image. If you choose Image and there is no one, then user's Avatar is displaying
2. You can choose any usergroup you want to show
3. Code moved to hook system, so you don't need any file or templates modifications.

I developed this mini-mod for our site, but I thought that maybe some of you, need something like this, so I added some attractive options to fit to your special needs.

1.- What it does

Very simple things comparing with our other mods. This shows your site's team in forum home. It's a good way to introduce yourselves to your visitors and members.

2.- Options


I believe that I added lots of configurable options (have more in my mind), but everything is depending on it's popularity. The default options are:

1. Show/Hide the blocks
2. How many members to show in the block
3. Choose to show Avatar or user's Image
4. If you choose Image you can setup the max width
5. What interface to use for the block (Table or Fieldset)
6. If it's table to use border or not
7. Show header for the block or not
8. Text to use for header
9. Show online/offline status (Yes/No)
10. Show last activity (Yes/No)
11. Text for Last Activity (eg Last seen)

3.- Installation


Installation is pretty easy:

1. Upload all files and directories including at "vbulletin" directory to the directory where vBulletin is installed.
2. Check at your AdminCP->vBulletin Options->Plugin/Hook System that Plugin system is enabled.
3. From your AdminCP->Plugin System->Manage Products choose Add/Import Product and import the product: product_siteteam.xml
4. Set the various options at: Meet Our Team Options. If you can't see the menu on the left, press F5

4.- Upgrade from versions 1.0.0 & 1.0.1

1. Revome the code that you've added at index.php
2. Remove the variable $siteteam from FORUMHOME template
3. Follow the steps for a new installation

That's all. Hope to enjoy it

There's an option menu in the left menubar for the hack, under the vB options, called Meet Our Team. You might need to refresh the page first and then click "Meet Our Team" to show the options and the usergroups link.

I cannot change the groups of users. The administrators always participate

[MR.BOSS]

[Cornie]

edit their siteteam_admin.php

If anyone wants to manually edit their siteteam_admin.php:
Change:

$phrasegroups = array(
  'vbfengine',
	'style'
);

to:

$phrasegroups = array(
  'siteteam',
	'style'
);

That eliminates the Usergroups database error.

At admin's menu, below Options, there is a second menu option to choose Usergroups.

That's strange. I tested it many times. Even now in our site, admins our out, and it dosen't display them.

No, you can choose only usergroups and not specific members. As I wrote in another post (maybe in the thread for vB 3.6.x), is you want to treate with a special way some of your valueable users, is better to assign them in a special group. Not becuase this way you'll be able to show them with my mod, but in the future you can use this special group in other mods too.
