I developed this mini-mod having in mind to deliver a better interface, more info and more configurable Memberlist replacement. Of course you can use it as standalone, or change the link to your navbar to redirect to my page.
1.- What I've in mind to improve next days
To change the info given in blocks for most active with number of posts and other statistics
To change the profile in listing by adding more info (eg biography etc). All of them can be turn On/Off by admin. Also to place in profile a popup with related options (eg Email, PM, Add to Buddy etc).
To add Advanced search, but much more powerfull than vB's. This is the reason that I left empty the left side bar.
To add in profiles other useful information pulling them from popular mods (eg vbCredits).
2.- Installation
Installation is pretty easy:
Upload all files and directories including at "vbulletin" directory to the directory where vBulletin is installed.
Check at your AdminCP->vBulletin Options->Plugin/Hook System that Plugin system is enabled.
From your AdminCP->Plugin System->Manage Products choose Add/Import Product and import the product: product_memberindex.xml
Set the various options at: Member Index Options. If you can't see the menu on the left, press F5. Don't forget to choose which usergroups to show.
If you want to replace your current member list, you must edit the navbar template to point to memberindex.php instead of memberlist.php Otherwise you can add a seperate menu.
3.- For your info
This is not a Lite version, as I'm not planing to release a Commercial one. But you can find in our site, a Brand Free version for $15, a very fair amount as I believe. I don't like donations, so this is a great way if you want to support my work and to get something back in exchange.
I've uninstalled and reinstalled set all permissions but the usergroups are not showing anymore. :S
After founding the bug in usergroup permissions, I spent nearly 2 hours trying all combinations, and everything was working well. The bug was on memberindex_admin.php so be sure that you've uploaded it.
Usergroups aren't showing for us either. Fresh download and uploaded everything. Also, it may be connected, but nothing shows up when we use the Special block either.
p.s. where exactly is the "memberindex" folder suppose to go? There are no instructions on this folder.
Also, the ability to add more than one special box would be wonderful. We are going to use this as the "Meet the Team" and we have 3 groups that we would like to showcase.

There is a readme file inside. And it says that everything included in the directory vbulletin must upload in the directory where your vBulletin installation exists. So the memberindex directory must be as subdirectory to your vB installation.
