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

I think that someone else asked it too, but why you're not trying to assign some valueable members to a special usergroup? This way, not only you can show them by this mod, but in the future you can handle this special group in different way in all other mods too.

Installed this and all appears to work, until you go to check it LOL The box is there, but nothing in it, no members.

1. Have you setup from which usergroup(s) to show members?
2. Have you members to that usergroup?

I though it would automatically pull the admin/supermods/mods, as there is no option for which user groups in the options page?

As many users asked to be able to choose the usergroups manually, I added at admincp a seperate menu option so you can choose which usergroup(s) to use.

This looks like a really fun add-on. It is marked as for version 3.6.8, but will it run on older 3.6.x versions? I am still using 3.6.4 and I want to make sure this would work before downloading it.

**EDIT**
Okay, it looks like it works just fine on 3.6.4

One other question I have. In your screenshot where you show what it looks like. Under the users name, there is a title displayed. Where is that pulled from or how is that entered so that it displays?

For us, our admin group has vbSEO staff and a test admin account...we wouldn't want them to show up as staff.

Also, Our Staff user group has some members of the network side of our company, folks who don't want to be listed and whom we don't want posted.

Hi, Working very well, Thanks Installed.

Great update! I do have two suggestions/requests. Since not all of us are going to use this to display who the forum moderators are it would be nice to be able to have it display the Custom User Title again rather than the Usergroup (or give us the option). I'm using this mod to display my paintball team-members instead. Also, it would be nice to be able to place the interface either above the forums, below the breadcrumbs (login), or keep it below the What's going on?.

Thanks again for a very useful mod!!!!
