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.

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

I've been looking for a Roster/Server query option for a while, but nothing up-to-date.
This is the closest thing I've found.

I can't imagine why not. You can define the traits to be anything you want.

I wasn't going to include this in the free version but I decided to anyway as a thanks for trying the product. The version I just published adds a tab to the user profile. It's a simple list and I plan to add more stuff including how the lists look and work soon but that'll be in the full version. For those upgrading, you only need to import the xml to get the profile tab.

For those of you already on the full version, I haven't posted 1.1.0 to Unmoderated Info yet because I want to include a bit more but it'll be uploaded this weekend. Thanks for your patience

The new version's XML file had a bug which I updated in the current zip. This was only a problem for new users.

same path problems here too. $myVbGuild->getVbGuildPath() fails to obtain correct path in every instance.
vb 3.8.x on win2k3

So what exactly is in the pro version that isn't in the free version? Just curious as I'd like to know if the pro version is much more enhanced than the free version.

I'll take a look. Does anyone else here have it working correctly on Windows?

The free version is limited to one game. Also, the next release of the full version, which I expect to do this week, will include some extra functionality like default roster view, deactivating games, and better styling.

As an update, I just got access to a Windows-hosted instance of vBulletin and will work against that this weekend.

[Deyth]

I updated the zip and it should now work on Windows servers too. If you already have it installed you don't need to import the product xml, just the files. Let me know your results.

Hi Deyth,
I re-installed the mod and it gives me this error when I clicked on "Edit Game List" in the AdminCP:

Warning: require_once(./model/Game.php) [function.require-once]: failed to open stream: No such file or directory in [path]/vbGuild/view/admincp_game.php on line 18

Fatal error: require_once() [function.require]: Failed opening required './model/Game.php' (include_path='.:/usr/lib/php:/usr/local/lib/php') in /home/public_html/forums/vbGuild/view/admincp_game.php on line 18

Thoughts?
