Mini Mods - FH Profile List

The Skinny
A site I work on was using Zoints and with that, used the forumhome random profile feature. Well there were way to many problems with Zoints for me to even consider keeping it, but the owner of the forum liked the random profile feature, so I told him I would make one for the default vB profiles. So I did and figured I would release it here sense I couldn't find this mod on here anywhere.

What does it do?
This mod allows the admin to display a horizontal table on the forumhome, that displays a number of boxes, which the admin chooses, that contains a users name that is linked to their profile and their avatar scaled down to make the box look organized.

What can the admins do?
The admins can enable or disable the mod.
The admins can choose to list the users based on one of a couple things.

1. Most Recent(Latest registered members.)
2. Latest Visited(Latest members to visit the forum.)
3. Latest Activity(latest members to post on the forum.)
4. Random

The admins can restrict what usergroups can see the mod.
The admins can specify the width and height of the table cells.

Installation

• Upload the defaultavatar image file into your vBulletin default image folder. ( images/ )
• Import the product file in your admincp.

To show the table on the forum home.

• Edit your FORUMHOME template

Find:

$navbar

Add Under:

$prolist_shell

To show the table under the navbar in each members profile.

• Edit your MEMBERINFO template

If you know what you are doing, you could possibly add this edit to almost anywhere.
Uninstall

• Delete the defaultavatar image from the vBulletin default image folder. ( images/ )
• Uninstall the product from your admincp.
• Find $prolist_shell in your template and delete it.

No customisation has been made at this site. Great addon.

Great idea but not great addon if it doesnt work correct. Didnt work for me either

This is great as I was just contacting a coder to make something like this for me but the only way I can use it is on my vba as a module. So if a module is made I will definitely use it!!

Something like this at the top of each member's profile page would be good to have. They could visit each other's profiles that way.

Can you use this same mod and adapt it to the profile page rather than the forum home?

[rolandogomez]

For those that can't get it to work, if you go to admin>>Plugins & Products>>Plugin Manager (Not Manage Products)>>Profile List (found under "Product : FH Profile List">>Edit then change Hook Location from "forumhome_start" to "global_start"

Now a disclaimer: Do these steps at your own risk because I try things to make it work and it's working for me. I'm not a coder or a programmer only a wannbe though I do consider myself a decent web designer. I'm a photographer and published author. I've done about 80% of the work on my sites and I do it by trial and error. I've learned some simple lessons the hard way, make back-ups first (files on the server too, before you download and play), when it don't work, play with it, one step at a time.

If there is a coder that can verify that it's OK to change the hook-locations, please do, as it worked for a site I'm working on right now where I put it in the header, not the forum home template.

Thanks, hope it helps someone out there, rg sends!

This is quite possibly one of the shittiest hacks. You offer no support and little explanation. You say admins can modify these settings, yet I have found it difficult to understand this
There is no panel in the admincp to do this, I looked through the code and it just looked complicated. I suggest if you're going to post something for people to install on their systems that you actually offer support

[!!!]

Oh, okay, I found it in the settings options

[Sweeks]

I would say the only problem with this modification is the custom avatars not working for quite a few people, as soon as that has been fixed I am sure many will love this hack

I must be confused, when you guys are talking custom avatars? I let my users upload their own avatars and have only one avatar as the default. What I personally need for this hack, is how to make it x rows by y columns. In other words, I want two rows of two as I'm using this on a new website I'm getting to ready to launch with a side column and I want this on this side column that is 200 pixels wide. Anyone know how I can do this, two by two? Thanks, rg sends!
