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

Another option that would be cool is to be able to choose a users ProfilePic rather than using the Avatar. Is that even possible?

I like this idea a LOT!

I'd also like to echo the sentament that I'd like it as a product instead of having to modify code.

I know you're wanting to wait and see how many people download it...but I think that's actually what's preventing people from downloading it. Many ppl don't like to install mods unless they are products as they don't like to hack the core files of vBulletin.

Just some food for thought!

I have installed this, but I don't have it active because it doesn't meet all of my needs. I'd like the ability to physically pick the users, not just a user group. I'd also like it to be a plug-in, and not have to leave core code hacked.

The reason that I decided not to post it as product, is that it's pretty small for product. Tomorrow I'll post an upgrade with some extra options for admins:

1. Usergroup to use: Will be a multiselect drop list
2. Use Avatar or Image. If Image is choosen and user don't has one, then avatar will be used instead
3. I'll use the hook system, so no need any code/template modification.

I also would wekcome this mod when it becomes available as a product.

Another option you may want to include is the ability for Admins, Super Moderators and Moderators the ability to upload their own image...other than using their avatars or profile pics.

I can see where the possibility for this mod could become almost endless...but for now...I'll keep it simple.

Thanks...I'll wait for the product.
