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

}

Downloaded file, EDIT PLUGIN "Show Meet our team at forum home page" Fixed error on page but I don't have a meet our team tab in the admin control panel. Checked directory: vb_installation/includes/xml/ there is a file: cpnav_siteteam.xml in there. Any help would be much appreciated.

Just a quick question. If I have several people on there, will it allow you to scroll through them?

also, a suggestion for a future release. Can the Avatar be clickable, not just the name.

The Warning goes away. Any suggestions on how to fix this? I like the mod on the forum. Thanks Dave

This issue will effect anyone who is using php5. I just installed php5 on my server and got this error. Took me a while to determine which plug in it is, but I found that it was indeed the plug-in's from this mod.

There is a fix for this, hopefully the author can correct it and update the mod for people to download again.

Hi, I installed this to my forum, but everything was messed up if you were logged out, other than the meet the team.

I´m wondering if there is something wrong with my forum, or if it´s incompatible with this hack, or if I did something wrong. The welcome message text on the forum index dissapeared, and all text around who´s online now, and statistics text.

Let me know if it works for you. I still haven't figured it out.

[dancue]

Alright, I got it figured out.

Big thanks to Abe1!

Go into Plug-in Manager and edit the Show Meet our team at forum home page plug-in.

Change this:

$tmp = unserialize($user["phrasegroup_siteteam"]);

to this:

$tmp[] = unserialize($user["phrasegroup_siteteam"]);

No more errors for those of you running php5. Worked for me.

Thanks again to Abe1!!

Very nice, installed and working fine on 3.6.8.

I would, however prefer to select based on user ID rather than usergroup, as I have some testing accounts that I prefer not to appear in the box.

EDIT: I'm also running php5 but I just manually edited & renamed the files myself before I uploaded them.

This is what I have on forum page; Warning: array_merge() [function.array-merge]: Argument #1 is not an array in /includes/functions.php(1259) : eval()'d code on line 5

I have 5 members listed in site team, showing 4 Warning: array_merge, If I remove the other 4 members the Warning: array_merge is gone. Very confused
