• Converted all code to the new vBulletin 4.x format.
• Improved sorting: Now each column will be sorting ASC and if you click on it again, it will go DESC.
• Less php and template edits. You can now set everything from the options area.
• The avatar, profilepic, birthday fields have not been added yet. I'll add them back if people show more interest in this mod.

Version 4.0.3 - March 25, 2010

• What usergroups are displayed on the roster can now be managed from the ShowRoster Settings. This is a huge thing because now you won't need to Edit Usergroups individually and there is no longer a use for the bitfield_showroster.xml file.

• showroster_permissions and showroster_add phrases removed from the install file; no longer needed.

• New setting has been added to the ShowRoster Settings that allows the admin to select where the Roster tab should appear on the Navbar: Left, Middle, or Right.

• Added an option which allows an admin to filter out users from the roster if they leave a certain field blank. Changes were made to the showroster.php and to the install file.

• The sorting links have been moved the mini navbar. They have been placed in a sorting options dropdown.
• The navbar plugin has been adjusted and all coding has been copied to the showroster.php file. This allowed me to use the code from the php file in the mini navbar while allowing the Roster tab to still appear in the menu (whether on the Roster page or not).
• Usergroups are now sorted in the order the id's are entered for the "Usergroups displayed on the roster" setting.

• CSS template has been added to help with the template updates.

Main FAQ

Q: I set the "Usergroups displayed on the roster", yet none of those users are appearing! What is wrong?
A: Calm down. You probably have the following set: "Choose a field to be filtered (I.E. field7). Users that leave this field blank will not appear on the roster." Make that field blank until you are ready to use it.

Advanced Usergroup Settings FAQ

Q: What is the Primary/Secondary usergroup setting?
A: All users on your forum are placed in a Primary Usergroup. Some are also added to Additional Usergroups (membergroups). You would use this setting if you want to have your users only in Primary Usergroups or Additional Usergroups to appear on your roster. By default, both options are used. This means, if you have two usergroups shown on your roster, then a user could appear twice on the roster if they are in both usergroups. Most should not need this feature, but feel free to play with it if you like.

Q: What about using the m= function for my roster?
A: You will need to turn on the Primary/Secondary usergroup setting to use this function. This will allow you to have a default roster, and then use the ?m= function if you would like to view the roster in other ways. m=1 is used if you want to see users in both the primary/secondary groups, m=2 is used to view users only in the primary groups, and m=3 is used to view users only in the secondary groups.

Q: What is the ID usergroup setting?
A: This is the main setting that will allow you to have multiple rosters. It can be used in conjunction with the primary/secondary usergroup setting for more indepth rosters. Just add an ?id= followed by all the usergroups you want to view (comma separated), and it will display those usergroups for you. I.E. showroster?id=13,14,15,16.

Q: What about the ID usergroup block setting?
A: This setting is for security purposes and allows you to block certain usergroups from being displayed with the ?id= setting. After all, we don't want anyone to stumble across any of your private groups and have access to all the users in that group.

I'll add things here as questions come up.
