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.

We have over a hundred members. Is there an easier way to update their rank without having to go into each user and change it there?

It would be nice to have a list of all user and then just update the rank of all of them on one page. If not it will take me hours to go in a set the rank each month for the members.

Any ideas?

Thanks for any help you can give me.

I have about 100 members on my roster as well. I use the EasyForms mod and have set up a form to give my officers the ability to do promotions. Roughly, it will take the user from one usergroup and move them to another. I won't go into it much more here, use that mod thread instead. But, I will say this, EasyForms is one of my favorite mods of all.

That's the best I can offer since this mod will never be able to accomplish that.

I would even be ok with installing multiple's of this addon to get the results. Not even sure if you could copy another Roster.php so you would have Roster2.php and some how create a template for that in the Styles?

I normally do not mind the posting of links to other mods in this thread, as long as they are topic related somehow.

Well, there is a way to do the field thing, but it is tricky because I would need access to the forum and the php file. I may be able to do it with just access to the forum templates. The multiple copy of the roster would be a change to all the references in the xml file and the php file. More tedious any labor intensive than difficult. The former is something I could do if anyone ever wants to hire me for it. If anyone ever wants to do the latter, feel free to post your files of it here for others to use. Just make sure it is tested.

Yes, you would have to do that, but I would recommend using another navbar mod to accomplish this. So, turnoff this navbar and then setup another so you can access all the different roster's.

I wish I would have thought about having multiple rosters initially b/c then I could have done the code differently. Course, when I started, I only had my guild in one game so never bothered to plan ahead differently. We are back to one game, but I know what a problem it was with the roster when you do play more than one game.

There is no easy fix this because I would have to redo a lot of coding. Not something I really want to do. Maybe someday.

Anyhow, if I finish up some other projects, I will consider doing some more changes to this over the summer. Nothing definite though.

Ok, will do that.

Your doing a great job! Thanx for your answer.

I've just upgraded from vB 3.8x to vB 4.1.2 and had the older version of this plugin installed (v1.2.1).

My older version had some customizations done that I'm having a heck of a time trying to figure out how to implement this on the newer version. For example, I had a column "Contact Member" with the email/PM links and images that went along them. In which template do I put these and how? I'm not too much of a code-head, but I can copy and paste real good

Also, the User Names are hyperlinked, but when one clicks through them, you end up on the forum home page and not on the user profile page. How do I fix that? Any assistance will be truly thanked. Thanks!

[bryanb]

Yeah, I definitely need help with this.

I've tried uninstalling and reinstalling the plugin and for some reason the user name links for "Users" are going to the main forum page and not to the member's profile page. Please help, anybody. Thanks!

[Sarcoth]

@ bryanb - This is with all of the new code or are you trying to use some of the old code? What you are stating there is something that happened to me for the first time I tried using the link code from vb3.8 in the vb4.x.

If that is with all of the current code, then I am not sure what the problem would be. No one else has ever had that issue before. I am still on spring break so I would be willing to take a look at this for you, but the customizations you want is not something I can get to until May. For that, you want to show your old code here and see if anyone is willing to update it to 4.0. Many people have asked for updating various links over the last year, so those are throughout this thread if you want help on it sooner.

Hi Sarcoth,

Right now I'm just trying to get the showroster page to hyperlink the User Name to the user's profile page (in the first column). It seems the default is linking to the main forum page.
http://www.casinomeister.com/forums/showroster.php

I've installed this on two boards as is, and still have this problem. One board has never had this plugin installed before, it's running vB 4.1.2 as well.

[bryanb]

I found the problem. It has to do with vBSEO.

I'm using vBSEO 3.6.0 RC 2 - I turned it off and voila - the links on the showroster page go straight to the user profile.

Is anyone here having the same issue?
