Customizable Roster (Member List)
Mod Version: 1.1.3, by Sarcoth

Note: This modification is now discontinued - this means that while it will remain available for download and use, support will no longer be provided as the thread is no longer monitored. Please see the 3.7 release of this modification for future updates here.

Introduction:

This Mod started off as a [How to] template modification. I have since added in permission control and an installer. Those that install this Mod will need to make adjustments to two templates and one phrase depending on what you want displayed. I'll include instructions for each step as well as optional changes you can make at your decretion.

Click the following link for a Guild Roster preview: http://vanguard.sacredhaven.org/forums/showroster.php

You'll notice that I use the "Extra Profile Fields Page" by Wired1. It isn't needed for the Roster, but I think it makes the field updates look nicer for the users.

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).

Step 1: Download the attached showrosterXXX.zip file.

Step 2: Upload the files to their correct directories.

Upload the showroster.php to the /forum/ directory.
Upload the bitfield_showroster.xml to the /forum/includes/xml/ directory.
Upload the spacer.gif to the /forum/images directory if you plan to use avatars.

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

Import the product-showroster.xml file.

Step 4: Admincp > Languages & Phrases > Phrase Manager > Phrase Type: ShowRoster > showroster_title --> Edit

Change this to whatever you want as the title of your roster.

Step 5: 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 6: Admincp > Styles & Templates > Expand > ShowRoster Templates > showroster_header

This template contains the headers for each of your columns. Add/Edit/Remove columns to your preference. Be sure to update the colspan to the number of columns you have.

Step 7: Admincp > Styles & Templates > Expand > ShowRoster Templates > showroster_userbits

This template gets the data from each of the fields you want to have viewed on your roster. Add/Edit/Remove columns and/or the nowrap="nowrap" to your preference. Be sure to update each of the field#'s to match the fields from Step 5.

Step 8: Admincp > Usergroups > Usergroup Manager > Edit Usergroup

• Set "Access - Should this usergroup have access to the Showroster page?" to Yes for whatever groups you want to have permissions to access the showroster page.
• Set "Viewable - Should this usergroup be viewable on the Showroster page?" to Yes for the groups you want to have appear on the showroster page.

All instructions are included in the instructions.txt and optional.txt.

Enjoy!!!
