Add-On Releases - vbGuild (full) - Guild/Clan Roster Plugin (multi-game, multi-char)

I'm no longer supporting it so I've published the most recent FULL version for free. I hope you all enjoy it.

Until now, there's been no vBulletin plugin that supports a guild whose history spans more than one game, one server, or with members having multiple characters in the same game. vbGuild is made with those guilds in mind. Define games, servers for those games, and traits for each game. A trait can be a text input value like surname or crafter type, a dropdown for values like race, class, or level, a radio button, or a check box. Set up each game's character history exactly as you want it. Determine which usergroups can record their characters on your board and which show up in your roster and then view that roster at any level, i.e. all games, one game, or one server.

The free version only supports one game and server nor will it see any future enhancements. You can find out about some of the planned enhancements, what the full version can do, and how to get it at Unmoderated Info.

This is our first mod and we're hoping to make it a major one over time. Please support the effort. Thanks and we look forward to hearing feedback.

It works with 3.7.x and higher. Please click installed.

4. Browse to product_vbGuild.xml in the "do not upload" folder you extracted.
5. Allow Overwrite = Yes.
6. Click Import.

1. Open your board's admin control panel: http://mysite/vbulletin/admincp
2. Expand Usergroups >> Usergroup Manager
3. Choose a group to allow to manage characters and show in the list
4. Scroll to the bottom of the permissions list
5. Select the desired permissions in the vbGuild block
6. Click Update.

6. Repeat for each game you want to add to.

I'm sorry you're getting install errors but I think you're the first person to get those and I'm sure I'll be seeing new errors in the future as well. That fulltext support sounds quite strange and I'll look into it. The only path problem I've seen so far was related to the admincp folder renaming and I will get to the bottom of that when I get back. That one sounds easy but for some reason isn't.

What are the template names of the plugin? I can't find it.

For some reason, I can't add a Server. I've created the Game List (using the paid version 1.07) fine. When attempting to Edit Server List, the dropdown box is defaulting to one of the games. Changing it does nothing. And there is nothing else on the screen. Here's a pic of what I'm getting.

Appears to do the same for the Edit Character Traits menu.

I'm also looking forward to hearing your own feedback and ideas since that'll shape what happens.

Sorry Deyth, but i got it

Wait for your update

Still don't have any answer of what the templates are for this plugin.. I have a custom theme and I wish to change the template of this plugin so it looks good.

It's not template-based yet. A lot is going to have to evolve with regard to styles. I didn't answer sooner because I was away on business.

Some sort of error is occurring. Might also be related to paths. I'm going to get right on that and see if it gets fixed.

I'll fix the path problem. Did you rename admincp or is it just cropping up anyway?

[Deyth]

I just added a new version that should hopefully solve the path problem. Give it a try and let me know.

It appears the latest update fixed the problem I was having with being unable to add servers or traits. Thanks! Looking forward to playing with this!!!

I'm curious to know what you did to get this to show up. I'm also having problems with the Character History menu not showing, but my admin group does have the permissions to see it.
