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.

It's all manual for now. We do have planned the ability to import data from various sources but there are higher priorities ahead of it still. Most users of this addon would only have a few games and servers to enter. Only a minority would want to enter every server for one or more games but I do sympathize since that's exactly what I did for Combine. WoW's server list alone is ridiculous.

I am getting some errors:

This shows up at the top of the page when viewing character history in usercp.

Warning: include_once(./lib/FormBuilder.php) [function.include-once]: failed to open stream: No such file or directory in [path]/vbGuild/view/usercp_list.php on line 11

Warning: include_once() [function.include]: Failed opening './lib/FormBuilder.php' for inclusion (include_path='.:/usr/lib/php:/usr/local/lib/php') in [path]/vbGuild/view/usercp_list.php on line 11

AND
This comes up when clicking 'Add Character'.

Warning: include_once(./lib/FormBuilder.php) [function.include-once]: failed to open stream: No such file or directory in [path]/vbGuild/view/usercp_trait.php on line 12

Warning: include_once() [function.include]: Failed opening './lib/FormBuilder.php' for inclusion (include_path='.:/usr/lib/php:/usr/local/lib/php') in [path]/vbGuild/view/usercp_trait.php on line 12

Fatal error: Class 'FormBuilder' not found in /home/<removed>/public_html/forum/vbGuild/view/usercp_trait.php on line 183

What have I done wrong? If I can get this to work I'll most definitely be getting the payed version.

Stupid question but are you sure you uploaded the files to the right place?

No such thing as a stupid question. Gotta start somewhere

And Yes, the files are in the right place. I thought that was the problem at first... which is why this issue is kind of mind boggling for me.

--edit--

I fixed it! The /lib/ directory is, by default, located within the vbGuild folder. It was looking for the /lib/ directory within the forum root (/forum/lib) instead of /forum/vbGuild/lib

--2nd edit--

The errors are gone, but it still isn't working. I click on 'Character History' within the UserCP, enter my info, and click save - Nothing happens. It does this in firefox and IE. In IE, it says 'error on page' in the very bottom left hand corner.

[Deyth]

Hmm, why would it be looking in /forum/lib? It doesn't do that for anyone else. How did you fix it? Although I'm going on vacation in two days I'd like to try to get it running for you before then. Would you trust me with temporary admin access to both your board and ftp? It's a lot to ask but I don't have any way to replicate it.

The paid version is undergoing a bottom-up rewrite. We were hoping to have it ready this past weekend but it went a bit over.

so this could work if i want to create some counter strike tournaments. I can insert the clans and tournaments in here, fill in results and it will make up the next comps?

That's not what it was meant for. The plugin is meant to be character history at the individual board user level for any kind of game. In your case, the clan is the board user you want to track. What you'd have to do is create a user account for each clan, define the game as Counterstrike, the server as the tournament, and then define the tournament traits. But even then it wouldn't be determining who fights next or anything like that.

I've installed the free version but don't use it, I'm very interested in this, waiting to see what you guys do before making any decisions. Can't wait!

It'll either be out before I fly on Thursday or after I get back first week of July. Almost everything you see here. The import/export stuff will be in a future release because we want to do it right but it's a high priority too.

Sounds good, one of the primary things for me personally is to be able to configure the display to look like my theme (or better yet, use my theme settings). Assuming you guys do that, I'll buy a copy and support you guys.

Mostly I'm waiting to see how it goes as I spend way too much money on software that never sees an update. =)
