I developed this mini-mod having in mind to deliver a better interface, more info and more configurable Memberlist replacement. Of course you can use it as standalone, or change the link to your navbar to redirect to my page.



1.- What I've in mind to improve next days

• To change the info given in blocks for most active with number of posts and other statistics
• To change the profile in listing by adding more info (eg biography etc). All of them can be turn On/Off by admin. Also to place in profile a popup with related options (eg Email, PM, Add to Buddy etc).
• To add Advanced search, but much more powerfull than vB's. This is the reason that I left empty the left side bar.
• To add in profiles other useful information pulling them from popular mods (eg vbCredits).

2.- 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_memberindex.xml
4. Set the various options at: Member Index Options. If you can't see the menu on the left, press F5. Don't forget to choose which usergroups to show.
5. If you want to replace your current member list, you must edit the navbar template to point to memberindex.php instead of memberlist.php Otherwise you can add a seperate menu.

3.- For your info

This is not a Lite version, as I'm not planing to release a Commercial one. But you can find in our site, a Brand Free version for $15, a very fair amount as I believe. I don't like donations, so this is a great way if you want to support my work and to get something back in exchange.

That's all. Hope to enjoy it

I noticed a small typo tonight. While viewing the "registered members" index page, I noticed that the "skype on" image wasn't showing. I found the problem and have a simple fix. Below is a screen shot of the problem.

And here is a screen shot of the problem fixed.

To fix this problem open the "memberindex_userbit" template and find

<if condition="$userinfo[skype]<>''">
                  <a href="#" onclick="imwindow('skype', '$userinfo[userid]', 400, 285); return false;">
                  <img border="0" src="memberindex/images/skype_on.gif" width="18" height="18" alt="<phrase 1="$userinfo[username]">$vbphrase[send_message_via_skype_to_x]</phrase>"></a></td>              
                <else />
                  <img border="0" src="memberindex/images/shype_off.gif" width="18" height="18"></td>              
                </if>

replace with

<if condition="$userinfo[skype]<>''">
                  <a href="#" onclick="imwindow('skype', '$userinfo[userid]', 400, 285); return false;">
                  <img border="0" src="memberindex/images/skype_on.gif" width="18" height="18" alt="<phrase 1="$userinfo[username]">$vbphrase[send_message_via_skype_to_x]</phrase>"></a></td>              
                <else />
                  <img border="0" src="memberindex/images/skype_off.gif" width="18" height="18"></td>              
                </if>

*installed*

Works fine, but there is no rate option in the member search result page. Please do add rate member feature in search result pages like feature member button.

The memberindex page takes some time to load and the system load goes high when the page is accessed, I've got around 23,000 members and ~400,000 posts. Is there anyway the result is cached and maybe updated once in an hr using cron rather than pull the data each time the page is requested.

It would be fine, if extra profilefields are searchable.

Installed on 3.6.8 English and an Arabic forum. Thank you. This kind of helps me to choose best members and moderators for each month.

[Sofia]

Permission "can_use" is missing in the XML code. Any idea ?

[rolandogomez]

Now if we can just add, under the user's name in the results, "Member's Albums" with a link to their albums like in this hack for post pit, https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/showthread.php?t=168428
Any help is appreciated for us non-programmer types...Thanks, rg.

Ok I did the rating option but from where can I rate a member? Nothing is showing now in top members. Any help appreciated.

I just installed this in 3.7 Beta5 and have the following problems:
- top posters last week/last month: posters with just 0 or 1 post are listed, instead of top posters
- Top posters overall: random members seem to be displayed.
- Top members: there does not seem to be a rating function, so there are no top rated members.
- How do you set featured members?
- Member list: rows are not aligned, as height depends upon height of avatars.

Ditto what Alfa1 said...

Aside from the bugs above, I have a feature request:

- latest changed profiles

I know this might be a tedious thing to code, but it is a feature I see on many large Social Networking websites. Plus it makes members want to change their profile.
