Profile Enhancements - Customizable Roster

Customizable Roster

Introduction:

This Mod is ideal for a Guild/Clan roster, but it is also a great replacement for the memberlist. Customize it any way you like: add or remove columns with just a few easy edits. The installer includes permission control that allows you to set which groups appear on the roster and which ones can view it. The most popular option is the ability to control advanced sorting; check it out!

Installation:

Step 0: If you are upgrading from a previous version, save a copy of your old showroster.php and rename your showroster templates (I recommend giving them an underscore prefix; Example: _SHOWROSTER). When upgrading from version, make a copy of all your templates, then revert the templates back to their default, and then uninstall the older version. Also, make sure you delete the bitfield_showroster.xml file in the /includes/xml directory; this will cause database errors if not deleted.

Step 1: Download the showroster_vX.X.X.zip file and unzip it.

Step 2: Upload the files to their correct directories.

Upload the showroster.php to the /forum/ directory.
Delete the bitfield_showroster.xml in the /forum/includes/xml/ directory (if there).

Step 3: Admincp > Plugin & Products > Manage Products > Add/Import Product

Import the product-showroster_v4.x.x.xml file.

Step 4: Admincp > User Profile Fields > Add New/Update User Profile Field

Add all the Profile Fields you plan to use and keep track of their number(s) (i.e. field6, field7, etc.).

Step 5: Admincp > Settings > Options > ShowRoster Settings

Update the settings for your roster: usergroups allowed to view the roster, usergroups that are displayed on the roster, the title and field# for each of your columns on the roster, and any of the many other settings.

Step 6: Admincp > Styles & Templates > Expand > ShowRoster Templates > SHOWROSTER, showroster_header, and showroster_userbits

You only need to adjust these if you have custom adjustments to make. Otherwise, there is no longer a need to change these.

NOTE: See installation and upgrading instructions in the included corresponding txt files.

Is this going to be updated for 4.1.0 at some point? Would love to use this mod.

Sable,
This works for VB 4.1.0 PL2 and I am currently using with no problems.
----
Question,
How can i get it to read a custom field as a URL instead of just plan text.
Aka so people can click directly on say a steam profile address and go to it.
Currently it is not url its just plan text.

@Mobo
1) If you mean to have them sorted by a custom field, then yes and I thought that was in the setup instructions that came with the mod. Check it out and let me know if not.
2) I'm not sure what you mean on that one. Let me know what you want to do with the roster and I'll tell you if it can be done or not.

@Sable - Like arrow stated, this should work with whatever version of vB you have right now. It works for me and I have the most recent version of vB. I am planning to have an upgrade done this week, but I want to make sure it is ready before just posting anything.

@arrow - Do a search in this mod, I know I've posted it before. If not, ask again after the update is posted and I'll let you know. I'm currently not giving any how-to's until I post the next update, in case something changes.

I really don't see a need for a search feature. The roster is only meant to display all members on a single page. A search feature would be needed if there were more than one page. If someone wants to find someone particular, it would be better to use the browser search (CTRL+F).

I'll be sure to retest the avatars and online status prior to releasing the next version. If you still have problems after that, I'll look into it further. Thanks.

Sarcoth,
I have just one error other than this.
For some reason the borders seem to not inherit the templates default.
Because of this instead of being black/dark grey the boarders our a greenish color [similar to your own site demo]

Sarcoth, i have more than 130k members, that i want to list on that page.. So you can see how desperate i am to get a search working in there, and also to list lets say 200 members per page.. Is this possible ? I know that mby i'm asking alot, but if you would like to help me, i would appreciate it so so much.. Thanks again for you'r reply, and for this great mod..

[Sarcoth]

@Arrow - I'll double check that for the update. I thought I had fixed those issues, but perhaps not.

@Anti - Sorry, but that would be a major addition. I only add things to this mod that I would use. Plus, it would be a lot of work. If you have so many members, you may want to consider using my advanced features and breaking them down into smaller rosters.

At this point, in this mod's evolution, I consider it to be complete. All the major updates are done. I will only add small things to it and fixes. A search feature and multi-page roster would be a major addition. I only do major additions for payment.

Hmmm ok, can you at least show me how to kame all comuns the same widht, cuz i tried that code from you'r post, and it's not working.. icons are on the wrong side.. :/ Thanks again..

Best Regards,

@ Anti - Yes, as soon as I get done with the newer version I will start filling the easy requests that have been requested. Starting with Barteh's.

I just finished redoing the navbar code and all seems well with it. I am going to try and get the ordering to work in this version b/c I have a problem with the navbar moving inside and outside the roster.

Completed so far:
1) id's and m's can now be sorted.
2) navbar code redone and looks much better IMO.

In the works:
3) Whenever sorting is done, the stats do not work. This really isn't an issue though so I will set it up so the stats are not shown when sorting (easy).
4) Navbar positioning when in and out of the roster page (difficult).
5) Allow the roster button the option of being renamed (easy).
6) Setup a dropdown menu for the roster when using the advanced roster options (medium difficulty, just a lot of code changes. this may have to come in another version).
7) Find a way to fix the border for the roster. It does not inherit the color of the current template, but if I remove the code it breaks the roster. I may just put in code so it can be adjusted by the user. (should be easy, but not working).
