Clan Hack

This hack was requested HERE

Basically, this hack adds a clan system to your vbulletin. Everything is controlled from the usercp. When a user goes to edit his/her profile, there is an additional "clan password" field. Clan leaders should give out the password to clan members. If the password matches one of an exsisting clan, they are added to that clan. There is more information in the request thread.

HACK STATS:

Templates to add: 5
Templates to edit: 2
Files to upload: 3
Files to edit: 3

This includes an easy to follow install guide and installer. Screenshots are below:

Addition to the administration CP

EDIT/ADD CLAN SCREEN

Admin CP clan list screen

Entering clan password in user cp (ignore the image thing, that's a different hack)

List of clans

List of users in that clan

Postbit Stuff


Enjoy the hack!

If you get any errors, please tell me

Is there a way to only make the Clan: slot in postbit only appear if the person is part of a clan?

heyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy im still doing beta testing btw

Arcueid:
This is very simple. Open up your functions.php file. Find this:

$showuserclan = "Not in Clan";

Replace it with this:

$showuserclan = "";

TADA, that's it. Easy, eh?

Okay, in regards to the beta testing and everything about version 2:

I found that it would be pointless upgrading this to vb3, but on the other hand, i worked on Clan Hack V2 a little bit, and, if i get enough requests here, i will complete it for vb2, NOT VB3. So, if you'd like it, please post now, if i get enough responses, i'll make it. Everyone that sent me help PMs, i'm finding your answers now.

I like it!

LOL... I changed this to my needs - on my site it's the "Band Hack", as my community is music based. If you released a new version I'd definitely give it a go.

Well that's #1.

Okay, if i DO make a new version, it's not gonna be huge and fancy. It's a LOT of work to do what i was suggesting, and, well, i kinda DELETED IT OFF MY COMP! >( ARGH. Well, it'll have a few extra features, you'll have a few ways to join clans (pick from dropdown, put in password). There will also be a thing where they click "JOIN THIS CLAN" and fill out a form. It will send an email to the clan leader (or whoever they pick) that will have two links - "ACCEPT" and "DENY". They will be able to fill out a few things, i.e. how good they are, and extra comments, stuff like that. It will be pretty nice. It won't be a ton of extra stuff, but it will be enought that it will be nice. One feature that will not be included is to be in more than one clan. Unfortunately, this will not be possible =( . I would basicallly have to restart from the ground up to do this. It's a lot of work. I'll start as soon as i get enough requests.

!!!!! I'm definitely all for it, the clan hack is essential to the forum experience and you're paving the way man, keep it up please for all the communities!

Edit: just a small edit i wanted to add if possible when and if u redo the hack. On the clan's page, there should be like an option to display a little bios about the clan, the link to their thread and etc. etc., that would be really useful for all the members.

DOOOOOOOOOOOOOO IT

yes ok thats #3

Hey The_Cyberdemon, I have to say that this hack is working beautifully as it is. I'd considered modifying it myself to do some of what you mentioned. The main features which I think would be of use is the e-mail notification and the ability to be in two clans, or band in my case, at once. I'm actually using Erwin's form to email/pm/thread/post hack for users to apply, other may want to give it a try. Like you say, vB3 is not long off, which makes you wonder if it's worth the work but put simply I believe that a lot off this community isn't going to make the switch until a lot of hacks are converted to vB3 - my whole site works through vB and hacks.

The only reason I'm not going to use this hack is because users cannot be in 2 clans.

[The_Cyberdemon]

WELL, i think i've had a enough requests that i'm gonna have to make it so users can be in two clans! This is gonna take a while to make then, gonna have to design a new system. So, this is gonna take a while to make.

I'm realeasing my Dead Or Alive: Xtreme Beach Volleyball style set at vbulletintemplates.com. So, just a heads up.

HERE ARE THE FEATURES I HAVE SCHEDULED FOR V2:
User can be in 2 clans
Users are put in to clan by: Join request OR password
Email AND/OR PM notification, selectable from Leader CP panel
Clan BIO and information page

If there are any other requests, please tell me!
