Add-On Releases - vbGuild (full) - Guild/Clan Roster Plugin (multi-game, multi-char)

I'm no longer supporting it so I've published the most recent FULL version for free. I hope you all enjoy it.

Until now, there's been no vBulletin plugin that supports a guild whose history spans more than one game, one server, or with members having multiple characters in the same game. vbGuild is made with those guilds in mind. Define games, servers for those games, and traits for each game. A trait can be a text input value like surname or crafter type, a dropdown for values like race, class, or level, a radio button, or a check box. Set up each game's character history exactly as you want it. Determine which usergroups can record their characters on your board and which show up in your roster and then view that roster at any level, i.e. all games, one game, or one server.

The free version only supports one game and server nor will it see any future enhancements. You can find out about some of the planned enhancements, what the full version can do, and how to get it at Unmoderated Info.

This is our first mod and we're hoping to make it a major one over time. Please support the effort. Thanks and we look forward to hearing feedback.

It works with 3.7.x and higher. Please click installed.

I figured out #2, Phrases (duhr).

Also, I have the same problem Drifter does, I just finally went in and added/modded the stuff in the SQL db.

#1 can't be done now via the interface but I can added that as something to be moved to a phrase. #3 is slightly more complicated in that it's at the core premise for the addon. Both are, really. Game and server.

I'd like to see that other problem in action. Can you give me temp admin access?

[Deyth]

Editing seems to work fine. I went to the game list, hit edit, and it appeared in the textbox above with an update game button. Change the text, hit the button, and it saves with the new value. Please test to make sure that's the case for you and then you can remove the temp admin account, and thanks for trusting me with that.

[grey_goose]

It only shows one game though... shouldn't it show the entire (5 entries) list of games? How does one edit the games which aren't shown?

I'll leave the acct open in case you want to take another look... perhaps I'm just not 'getting it'?

I think there's a miscommunication. Drifter reported that he couldn't edit anything. Are you saying you added games you no longer can see?

[Deyth]

I see the problem. Did you add those games directly into the database? You're using the free version of vbGuild which only supports one game which is why that's all you see. The hope is that you like it enough to pay $5 for a full license.

I'm having an "Oh, snap!" moment. Helps when you read all the words

I think it's a handy product, and you've been stellar helping me out! Look forward to future development of this -- I think being able to customize the headers would be fantastic.

Thanks. I try to be quick on the problems but development on this has been slow due to real life constraints. I'm open to all ideas. You can post them straight to the project tracker if so inclined.

Do you provide custom work? I need to tweak this slightly for my needs.

What weird timing. I was visiting the thread to see if I had missed some new post notifications and there you are.

I don't do work for hire but if it's minor I'll help; especially if you've purchased the full license. If the ideas are good then I'll also add them to the plugin.
