Customizable Roster
Mod Version: 1.2.1, by Sarcoth

Introduction:

This Mod is ideal for a Guild/Clan roster, but it is also a great replacement for the memberlist. Customize it any way you like: add or remove columns with just a few easy edits. The installer includes permission control that allows you to set which groups appear on the roster and which ones can view it. See the optional.txt file included in the installation for additional changes that you can make at your discretion. The most popular option is the ability to add sorting; check it out!

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 both of the colspan variables 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.
