Meet our Team in Forumhome
by vbFrerlancers

New features in version 1.1.0

1. Now you can choose to show user's Avatar or Image. If you choose Image and there is no one, then user's Avatar is displaying
2. You can choose any usergroup you want to show
3. Code moved to hook system, so you don't need any file or templates modifications.

I developed this mini-mod for our site, but I thought that maybe some of you, need something like this, so I added some attractive options to fit to your special needs.

1.- What it does

Very simple things comparing with our other mods. This shows your site's team in forum home. It's a good way to introduce yourselves to your visitors and members.

2.- Options


I believe that I added lots of configurable options (have more in my mind), but everything is depending on it's popularity. The default options are:

1. Show/Hide the blocks
2. How many members to show in the block
3. Choose to show Avatar or user's Image
4. If you choose Image you can setup the max width
5. What interface to use for the block (Table or Fieldset)
6. If it's table to use border or not
7. Show header for the block or not
8. Text to use for header
9. Show online/offline status (Yes/No)
10. Show last activity (Yes/No)
11. Text for Last Activity (eg Last seen)

3.- Installation


Installation is pretty easy:

1. Upload all files and directories including at "vbulletin" directory to the directory where vBulletin is installed.
2. Check at your AdminCP->vBulletin Options->Plugin/Hook System that Plugin system is enabled.
3. From your AdminCP->Plugin System->Manage Products choose Add/Import Product and import the product: product_siteteam.xml
4. Set the various options at: Meet Our Team Options. If you can't see the menu on the left, press F5

4.- Upgrade from versions 1.0.0 & 1.0.1

1. Revome the code that you've added at index.php
2. Remove the variable $siteteam from FORUMHOME template
3. Follow the steps for a new installation

That's all. Hope to enjoy it

I have 5 members listed in site team, showing 4 Warning: array_merge, If I remove the other 4 members the Warning: array_merge is gone. Very confused

The array error is being caused because you are running php5 on your server, where this mod was intended for php4.

Try what I wrote in my previous post and see of that takes care of it.

Thank you again for your help dancue. Found the problem in another application that was running on site. All good now! Let me know if you have any luck in editing users title to show on forum for this application. Again Thanks Dave:up:

I am still getting this error:

Warning: array_merge() [function.array-merge]: Argument #1 is not an array in /includes/functions.php(1259) : eval()'d code on line 5

Im confused as to how to fix it. I tried doing this below but it did not work:

Try changing this in the plugin named "Show Meet our team at forum home page":

$tmp = unserialize($user["phrasegroup_siteteam"]);

To this:

$tmp[] = unserialize($user["phrasegroup_siteteam"]);


I know that the error began and is caused by this plugin "Site Team Version 1.1.0 for VB version 3.6.8, I am also using PHP5 if that helps.....

Where or what do I look for to edit and in which files to fix this error or stop it from being thrown. The Plugin actually functions, I just get the error code seen at the top of the forum page. If I turn off the SiteTeam plugin or make it in-active then the error goes away. It also started giving me that error right after I installed the plugin "SiteTeam v1.1.0" so I am certain that this is where the problem lies correct?

So what exactly do I edit to fix this? Im very confused.

Thank you!

• Go to Plugins and Products on the left hand side of your admincp.
• Go to Plugin Manager and search for the plug-in titled "Show Meet our team at forum home page"
• Click on the title or the word edit.
• In the field titled "Plugin PHP Code" you will find the php code where you will need to look for the following:
  

  $tmp = unserialize($user["phrasegroup_siteteam"]);

• Replace with the following:
  

  $tmp[] = unserialize($user["phrasegroup_siteteam"]);

• Make sure the plugin is set to active status and save. That should be it.

If what you are saying is that you did the above already and it did not work, then I don't know what to tell you. I am running this on PHP5 right now with 3.7 RC1. I was also running it on PHP5 3.6.8, and it was working just fine as well.
