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

Be sure that at the directory: vb_installation/includes/xml/ there is a file: cpnav_siteteam.xml

OK, I'll check that out thanks.

I have a problem with this on guest page it shows this error Warning: array_merge() [function.array-merge]: Argument #2 is not an array in /index.php(537) : eval()'d code on line 39 When I select no on Do you want to show your Team? The Warning goes away. Any suggestions on how to fix this? I like the mod on the forum. Thanks Dave

I uninstalled this, not because it didnt work. It does work, but doesnt show custom titles. It either left the title blank or showed your secondary group title. Maybe that could be a future fix for an otherwise excellent idea.

I uninstalled this due to current errors.

Cool mod thanks.
If you hold the Ctrl key when you select the usergroups you will find that you can select them all if you want. Don't do what I did though: I wanted to view all of the usergroups(ranks) ... all 12 of them. We have 100+ clan members and so I selected ''How many members to show/200'' ... the results are hilarious. My forum home page shot off sideways for about a mile.
I crossed my fingers and hoped that I ''might'' be able to use this to show all of my clan members from all of their respective usergroups but definately not on the forum homepage. I would prefer it if a separate page could be called by using a link. It does what it is reported to do though. Works okay thanks

i just installed it and i like it alot. however, i would like to have it display the member team in a specific order, right now it seems to put the team up in a random order. is this possible?

[KuJoe]

I installed this hoping I could modify it to fit on a vbAdvanced page. But then I noticed it's using hooks now and I have no idea how to edit that. Still an awesome mod though.

installed easy and does the job great. Dont know if its just me but i have to have all the mods in one row and for the avatar to show it is too wide for the forum. Any way to make it two rows? thanks

I had the same problem, to fix it I disabled viewing Meet the Team for guests.

EDIT PLUGIN "Show Meet our team at forum home page"

ADD TO FIRST LINE

if ($vbulletin->userinfo['userid'] > 0) {

ADD TO LAST LINE

}
