Its really awesome!

So this one follows Forum Leaders permissions. Would be nice to have its own permissions regarding usergroup inclusion.

Great Mod ..... Installed and nominated

My suggestions:

It should have it's own settings regarding usergroups to include (Rather than adapting the vBulletin settings) and we should also be able to re-arrange the groups in our desired order.

That would make it nicer.

Such a brilliant mod, something like this should be in vBulletin out of the box.
The default "Forum Leaders" is so bland and un-informal, I've completely replaced mine with this! I also changed the link to the page from "Meet Our Staff" to "Meet The Staff" (As a reference to Valve's Team Fortress 2)

*Marked as Installed & Nominated*

I noticed that line breaks in the biography information in user's profiles do not show up on the Meet Our Staff page.

For example, I had a member who made a list in the "Biography" part of their profile.
E.G.:
List item 1
item 2
item 3

However, on the Meet our Staff page, it shows up as:
list item 1 item 2 item 3.

Is there any way to fix this?

Try what I did, to remove the original & add a new one.

If you wish to do the same, create a new User Profile Field via admincp/User Profile Fields/Add New User Profile Field.
Select Multiple-Line Text Box
Title: Biography2 (Or what ever you want to name it)
Description: Enter what you wish here
Max length of allowed user input: 100
Field Length: 70
Text Area Height: 10
Display Order: Should be filled in allready
Field Required: No
Display Order: Should be filled in as well. REMEMBER this number, you will need it later.
Display Page: Edit Your Details
Click Save.

Now, You will need to create a new phrase via admincp/Languages & Phrases/Phrase Manager/Add New Phrase
Varname: fieldx_title (Change x To Field Number)
Text: Biography2
Click save.
Remember to save a copy of this template before you edit it. You may need to use it, in case you have an error
Now, Go to Styles & Templates/Search in templates,
search for meetstaff_usergroupbit
Find:

<li>
<img class="inlineimg" src="$stylevar[imgdir_button]/email.gif" alt=" <phrase 1="$user[username]"> $vbphrase[send_message_via_email_to_x]</phrase>" border="0" />
<a href="sendmessage.php?$session[sessionurl]do=mailmember&amp;u=$user[userid]" rel="nofollow"><phrase 1="$user[username]">$vbphrase[send_message_via_email_to_x]</phrase></a>
</li>
</if>

Add below:

<if condition="$user['fieldx']">
<li><span class="shade">$vbphrase[fieldx_title]</span> $user[fieldx]</li>
</if>
</ul>

Remember to change the x to field number.

Click Save

Is it possible to show different groups in meet our staff than in showgroups.php? I want to use showgroups for users with many posts and staff for mods and admins.

That info is posted throughout this thread.
