Guild Mate · **Released**: 07-30-2009

This should work on most vBulletin versions, but tested on 3.8.x.

This is an add-on to the vBguild mod. I am not the author of that mod and this add-on is just something I did for my own forums and I thought I'd share it for those using vBGuild as well.

I will continue to support this mod as a separate offering from vBGuild. If you need vBGuild support, please see that mod/author for support for it.

This is considered BETA as well. I'm running it on my forums and it works fine though. Also understand I'm pretty new to writing these mods and I know there are things that can be done to improve performance, etc. If you have suggestions, please make them, kindly.

Also, this is fully phrased so you shouldn't have any trouble using the mod for different languages.

History:

8-25-09 Version .2 released.

* Added in Option to allow all usergroups to use the functionality (Thanks Deyth).
* Updated some config phrases to reflect allowing all usergroups to use the mod.
* Added in global variables to plugin as it appears some template themes don't carry these over already. (Thanks Deyth)
* Updated install instructions as I forgot a template edit prior. This will correct the dropdown with the character data not appearing.

Upcoming:

* Config option to select whether or not you want to display the header again in the popup or not.

* Whatever you guys come up with

Installation:

There is one template edit, the rest is imported through the product.

Edit your Postbit or Postbit Legacy templates

FIND:

Code:

            
            <if condition="$post['rank']"><div class="smallfont">$post[rank]</div></if>

Add BELOW it:

Code:

            <if condition="is_member_of($vbulletin->userinfo, $gm_user_groups_allowed)">
                <div id="GuildMate_$post[postid]">
                        <a class="smallfont" href="member.php?$session[sessionurl]u=$post[userid]">$vbphrase[gm_postbit_text]</a>
                        <script type="text/javascript"> vbmenu_register("GuildMate_$post[postid]", true); </script>
                </div>
            </if>

Scroll to the bottom of your postbit template and:

Add:

Code:


<!-- START: Guild Mate $post[postid] popup menu -->
<div class="vbmenu_popup" id="GuildMate_$post[postid]_menu" style="display:none">
    <table cellpadding="4" cellspacing="1" border="0">
    <tr>
        <td class="thead" colspan="3" align="center">$vbphrase[gm_modtitle]: $vbphrase[gm_modheader] $post[username]$vbphrase[gm_modheader2]</td>
    </tr>

    $gm_char_data
    </table>
</div>
<!-- END: Guild Mate $post[postid] popup menu -->

Import the product

Once that is done, edit the vBulletin Options -> Guild Mate and set the user groups allowed to see the postbit changes.

Below are some screenshots from my website to help explain what this does.

I can disable invidual scripts in vbseo. Is there any script this is calling.

Also your templates are not cached.

There's nothing external that I'm calling. I'll work on the caching of the templates.

Ok I attempted this on default template

I get this after clicking on it. Also VBSEO was off during this time so its not that as I had orginaly thought.

I found the cause for DiverTree's error. Your plugin code should look like this:

Code:

global $vbulletin,$userinfo;

$user_chars = $vbulletin->db->query("select vbg.game_name as CharGame, vbs.server_name CharServer, vbc.character_name as CharName FROM " . TABLE_PREFIX . "vbguild_Game as vbg, " . TABLE_PREFIX . "vbguild_Server as vbs, " . TABLE_PREFIX . "vbguild_Character as vbc
WHERE vbc.user_id = '$post[userid]'
AND vbc.server_id = vbs.server_id
AND vbs.game_id = vbg.game_id
ORDER BY vbg.game_name, vbs.server_name, vbc.character_name

");

eval('$gm_header .= "' . fetch_template('gm_char_postbit_header') . '";'); 

    while($CharData = $vbulletin->db->fetch_array($user_chars))
    {
        if ($char_game != $CharData['CharGame']) { $gm_char_data .= $gm_header; }
        $char_game = $CharData['CharGame'];
        $char_server = $CharData['CharServer'];
        $char_name = $CharData['CharName'];
		$gm_user_groups_allowed = explode(',',$vbulletin->options['gm_ugl_view_chars']);
        eval('$gm_char_data .= "' . fetch_template('gm_postbit_char_bit') . '";');
    }
	
	// If there's no character data
	if ($gm_char_data == "") {
		eval('$gm_char_data .= "' . fetch_template('gm_postbit_char_none') . '";');
	}

Everything loads but the view characters link isn't popping anything up now and I don't know what the problem there is.

Deyth · #16 08-20-2009, 10:56 PM

I figured out the other problem. Here is what the postbit template edits should look like:

Code:

            <if condition="is_member_of($vbulletin->userinfo, $gm_user_groups_allowed)">
<div id="GuildMate_$post[postid]" class="vbmenu_control">
    <a class="smallfont" href="#">$vbphrase[gm_postbit_text]</a>
    <script type="text/javascript">
        vbmenu_register("GuildMate_$post[postid]");
    </script>
</div>
<div class="vbmenu_popup" id="GuildMate_$post[postid]_menu" style="display:none">
    <table>$gm_char_data</table>
</div>
            </if>

</div>
            </if>

thank you sir ... works like a charm now. :up:

I just now installed it on my own board and realized there was no way to simply tell it to display to all usergroups so I made that change and, while I was doing that, I saw how it looks with multiple games and didn't like having multiple headers so I changed that too. If you set the "usergroups allowed" option to 0, and it has to ONLY be 0, then it will show to all. Here are my versions of the template edits and the plugin code:

Code:

            <if condition="is_member_of($vbulletin->userinfo, $gm_user_groups_allowed) || $vbulletin->gm_user_groups_allowed == 0">
				<div id="GuildMate_$post[postid]" class="vbmenu_control">
					<a class="smallfont" href="#">$vbphrase[gm_postbit_text]</a>
					<script type="text/javascript">
						vbmenu_register("GuildMate_$post[postid]");
					</script>
				</div>
				<div class="vbmenu_popup" id="GuildMate_$post[postid]_menu" style="display:none">
					<table>$gm_char_data</table>
				</div>
            </if>

Code:

global $vbulletin,$userinfo;

$user_chars = $vbulletin->db->query("select vbg.game_name as CharGame, vbs.server_name CharServer, vbc.character_name as CharName FROM " . TABLE_PREFIX . "vbguild_Game as vbg, " . TABLE_PREFIX . "vbguild_Server as vbs, " . TABLE_PREFIX . "vbguild_Character as vbc
WHERE vbc.user_id = '$post[userid]'
AND vbc.server_id = vbs.server_id
AND vbs.game_id = vbg.game_id
ORDER BY vbg.game_name, vbs.server_name, vbc.character_name

");

eval('$gm_header .= "' . fetch_template('gm_char_postbit_header') . '";'); 

$gm_char_data .= $gm_header;
    while($CharData = $vbulletin->db->fetch_array($user_chars))
    {
        $char_game = $CharData['CharGame'];
        $char_server = $CharData['CharServer'];
        $char_name = $CharData['CharName'];
		$gm_user_groups_allowed = explode(',',$vbulletin->options['gm_ugl_view_chars']);
        eval('$gm_char_data .= "' . fetch_template('gm_postbit_char_bit') . '";');
    }
	
	// If there's no character data
	if ($gm_char_data == "") {
		eval('$gm_char_data .= "' . fetch_template('gm_postbit_char_none') . '";');
	}

Here's an example post. Thanks again for making this.

Deyth · #19 08-24-2009, 01:14 PM

It's not working correctly in private messages. It's showing my own character info instead of the user I'm seeing. I'm not sure if it's my own version that's having the problem or if it's present in Trek's as well.

WiGgLr · #20 08-24-2009, 04:10 PM

Code:

Fatal error: Call to a member function query_read() on a non-object in /mounted-storage/home84b/sub007/sc45970-PMHN/themondrated.com/includes/class_postbit.php(265) : eval()'d code on line 3

i get this error

Deyth · #21 08-24-2009, 04:33 PM

Using my code or Trek's?
