Sort Members By State! · **Released**: 06-07-2003

Well since no one offered to make it for me, I have made it myself. I now have the full working version of the sort by state hack.

This is a rather large hack, although easy.
Install Time: 15 mins

Alright basically, I took out the default Location field in the vbulletin registration process and hardcoded a new one in. This does require you to lose data regarding you members locations. Simply PM all of them and ask them to update their profiles afterwards making the change.

Anyways. When you do sort by state, I took into account that some people will not return to your site and/or will not edit their profile, and therefor when you do sort by state, anyone with an invalid or blank state field will not be displayed. On my site this is a required field and it is set up that way in this hack.

You can see a live sample of this hack at my site,

Alright... one more thing before we get to the file.

There is more to come in the future.
1) Admin Functions - I would like to add the ability for admins to edit the location of members after this hack. They can still do if via the database.
2) State by State Sorting - View members from a single state of your choosing instead of all states.

[high]THIS HACK IS ONLY SET UP TO SUPPORT THE UNITED STATES AND CANADA! BUT IT CAN BE EASILY MODIFIED FOR THOSE THAT NEED IT BY COUNTRY![/high]

Please read through the hack slowly and carefully and as normal back up your files before you edit them.

One final note I promise. Thanks to hellsatan for his assistance on a few sections of this hack. I greatly appreciated his assistance.

Does this hack work for version 2.3.0?

It should yes. As for 3.0.0, i doubt it as i havent even looked at that new version yet.

Is this hack going to be updated for 3.0?

I want to know as well..........

To sort by state in version 3.0.0 you dont need a hack. Just create a new profile field as a drop down box through the control panel and add all states and countries you wish you use. Then just link somewhere on your forums to the advanced search of the memberlist option. They can search the memberlist by certain profile fields, just enter the state your looking for and there you have it.

At least thats how i did it on my version of 3.0.0.

*Note that you must enable the Field Searchable on Members List? option in the profile field manager when creating the new field. Enjoy.

It is not a VB3 engine, just a parsed copy!
