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

Yeah, i know... it's a template mod as well.
I'm still thinking where it would fit best and with which modifications

hey nice hack .. can this be done without file edits?

in today's world of templates .. its kind of scary to do file edits .. especially with so many new versions of vb with bug fixes coming out every couple of days

Help..

This error dosen't comes from my mod, but from a vb's file. Seeing the message I think that it can't add (use) a template. Maybe there is an error in the template.

how picking say 5 random members from a set usergroup per day or week or is this taking it to far

[MR.BOSS]

Exactly lasto,

i wish it could be other than mods or admins, like other usergroup?
or can you costomize to be used like for the best posters in the forums? or you choose which member to be displayed?

thanks

[lasto]

an even better one would be to say pick the last 5 users from a specific usergroup.
So say u have a Donators usergroup it would show the last five people who have donated.All based on usergroup ID

[MR.BOSS]

yes, I think the best one will be is to choose the members manually.. by the name or something..

thanks

I had to uninstall it.. My online.php would fail when viewing who's online. Don't get me wrong it worked fine on the forumhome as it's supposed to.. But killed my online.php on this particular 3.7 forum. It works fine on my other 3.7.. Just a clash of products probably..

Now we just need someone to write a Meet the Staff Page for VB that pulls profile or avatar pick and BIO from Admin/Mod/Smod into custom page..

[ragtek]

why your making the fileedit?
under all done is a hook!! ( => forumhome_complete )
