Add-On Releases - vbGuild (full) - Guild/Clan Roster Plugin (multi-game, multi-char)

I'm no longer supporting it so I've published the most recent FULL version for free. I hope you all enjoy it.

Until now, there's been no vBulletin plugin that supports a guild whose history spans more than one game, one server, or with members having multiple characters in the same game. vbGuild is made with those guilds in mind. Define games, servers for those games, and traits for each game. A trait can be a text input value like surname or crafter type, a dropdown for values like race, class, or level, a radio button, or a check box. Set up each game's character history exactly as you want it. Determine which usergroups can record their characters on your board and which show up in your roster and then view that roster at any level, i.e. all games, one game, or one server.

The free version only supports one game and server nor will it see any future enhancements. You can find out about some of the planned enhancements, what the full version can do, and how to get it at Unmoderated Info.

This is our first mod and we're hoping to make it a major one over time. Please support the effort. Thanks and we look forward to hearing feedback.

It works with 3.7.x and higher. Please click installed.

4. Scroll to the bottom of the permissions list

6. Repeat for each game you want to add to.

It's not template-based yet. A lot is going to have to evolve with regard to styles. I didn't answer sooner because I was away on business.

Ah oke, thanks. Quite a shame though. Now I can't make this compatible with my theme.

The whole style approach is an issue and will have to be redone properly, no question.

Thanks for this! Will keep an eye on the development. Works just fine on my current 3.7.2 installation. Am holding off, though, to see the improvements on templating. The main character list breaks my theme, unfortunately (but the UserCP part is just fine).

Would it be possible to have it hide the game and server selection if there is only one entry for each?

I don't know how much of the planned improvements will be pushed to the lite version but I can get rid of that dropdown.

Then yours is something else. If you want to give me temporary admin access I can try and see what's up. My IM contact info is in my profile here.

Unfortunately, I didn't do anything. What I think MAY have done it is I went to this link:

www.domain.com/vbguild.php?user=list

I think it might of initialized something... not sure.

I'm not currently using it as while it's pretty nice, there's a ways to go before it has everything I need. But assuming this mod is actively updated, I'll probably purchase the full version eventually.

Hmm, that certainly hasn't done anything for me. I've been using that address for nearly a week now. Permissions are set correctly too--I have nearly 10 others testing with me. Still no menu. Guess I'll dig deeper into the code myself.

FYI, I have paid the $5 for the full version. Hopefully it helps further the development. As it stands, it isn't quite ready for primetime, mainly due to the template breaking table, but I'm really hoping to see this get better. It could fill a huge void for gamers in the vB market!

[Deyth]

If any of you want to give me temporary admin access I'm more than willing to jump in and see what's up in your instances.

The plugin will be enhanced and I've already begun working on the next release.

Does something like this can be customized for a Counter Strike Source squad?
I've been looking for a Roster/Server query option for a while, but nothing up-to-date.
This is the closest thing I've found.
