Perhaps an example of what you are looking for ... today I thought it sorted it by admin then global mods and then moderators?

[smitch6]

as you can see by my staff list on the right
it has senior leader (admin) at the top
then senior mods and nor mods in dif orders and tech guys in there as well

the mod that someone posted as a solution helps in the instance where it lists ppl in order of joining
not rank

what i want and i think what others want is to have them in order of
admin
global mod
mod
tech

etc etc

[Spuds]

Hummm I'm guessing all those folks have moderator level status ... the code sorts admins / global moderators / moderators sub sorted by member_id in each group ....

As something quick,  you can try the following to see if it works .....

find:

$staff_list[$row['type'] . '-' . $row['id_member']] = array(

replace with

$staff_list[$row['type'] . '-' . $row['group_name'] . '-' . $row['real_name']] = array(

this shoudl then sort by admin / global mod / mod and then in each of those groups sort by group name and then by member name in those groups ....

Edit ... that's in PortalBlocks.php around line 2276

[smitch6]

i don't have that line

i've attached my portalblacks.php for you to have a quick look through if you don't mind

When I try to install I get this error:

Strange .... had you already modified that code ?  Anyway in your file its line 2311 which has

i don't have that line

i've attached my portalblacks.php for you to have a quick look through if you don't mind

Your file is version 2.3.2, the suggestion I posted was for 2.3.3 .... you should update but if your just want to try some things ....

change line 2311 which is currently (for v 2.3.2)

Code Select Expand

$staff_list[$row['id_member']] = array(

to the v2.3.3 default of

Code Select Expand

$staff_list[$row['type'] . '-' . $row['id_member']] = array(

or my other version of

Code Select Expand

$staff_list[$row['type'] . '-' . $row['group_name'] . '-' . $row['real_name']] = array(

either of which should give you what you want ....

Says what it means ... another mod you installed changed index.php in the root of your forum so this mod can't find where to "hook" itself in to the code .... you can try uninstalling mods (generally in the reverse order you installed them to avoid problems), or manually update index.php.  If you want to attach index.php someone could take a look and tell you what you need to do.

How do I send a attactment on the forum?

[Galaxy Computers]

Nevermind I have found out how to send an attachment. Here is my index.php file.

[Spuds]

Looks like its the twitter mod ... it did not leave a comment indented as it should have and now SP can't find the line since its now missing the tab, ie its different.

Just open your index.php file in an editor and change

Code Select Expand

// Is the forum in maintenance mode? (doesn't apply to administrators.)

and add a tab (not spaces, a tab) so it looks like this

Code Select Expand

// Is the forum in maintenance mode? (doesn't apply to administrators.)

that should allow SP to install ... but note that it will make the twitter mod *fail* when you go to uninstall it ....

You could also uninstall the twitter mod (assuming it wants to uninstall cleanly) then install SP then install the twitter mod and you should be fine (just remmember that then to uninstall SP you will need to uninstall twitter then SP and then add twitter back in)

[Galaxy Computers]

I have got it going now. I have another question. When I add pages how can make a menu tab to link to that page?

[Spuds]

I have got it going now. I have another question. When I add pages how can make a menu tab to link to that page?

If you want a new tab you will need to get another mod to create menus and then point that new tab (or menu under the tab) back to the SP page ... ie /index.php?page=page1234 or whatever your page is ... some menu mods that do this are this and here

or if you want to do it yourself follow this tutotrial

[smitch6]

Hi spuds
thanks for the code the 2nd code you gave worked sort of
it has sorted everyone out but in the wrong order
it has put them in
admin
tech
mod
global mod

is there a way it can be
admin
global mod
mod
tech

please ty

strange you say its 2.3.2 because on the forum at the bottom it says 2.3.3
and it was all fully updated by my tech guy when they released RC4 for the latest version

[Spuds]

strange you say its 2.3.2 because on the forum at the bottom it says 2.3.3

I was reacting to the header in that file plus the changed line but you are correct it is 2.3.3.  Looks like most of the file headers were not updated to reflect things as 2.3.2, something the SP team missed.

it has sorted everyone out but in the wrong order

I see what is occurring .... have to think about it .... the tech team has a higher authority level then the moderators so they ended up under the admins ... then it sorted by the group names with are moderator and senior moderator (alphabetically) ...  Let me look at it and give you some options.

[smitch6]

Thats really nice of i appreciate your time and effort helping with this
and it would be great if you could come up with a solution because i know quite a few people alongside myself need a solution to this issue

i look forward in your success

thanks again

There is really not a one glove for all here since the sort order is neither alphabetical nor numerical.  The best thing to do is something like this.

find:

Code Select Expand

$staff_list = array();
$colorids = array();

replace with:

Code Select Expand

$staff_list = array();
$colorids = array();
$sortorder = array('Administrator', 'Senior Leader', 'Senior Moderator', 'Moderator', 'Tech Team');

The list will sort in order of the groups listed, so if you want a different order or have different group names then you will have to add / change them.

find:

Code Select Expand

if (in_array($row['id_member'], $admins))
$row['type'] = 1;
elseif (in_array($row['id_member'], $global_mods))
$row['type'] = 2;
else
$row['type'] = 3;

$staff_list[$row['id_member']] = array(

replace with:

Code Select Expand

$sort_key = array_search($row['group_name'],$sortorder);
if ($sort_key !== false)
$row['type'] = $sort_key + 1;
else
$row['type'] = count($sortorder) + 1;

/*
if (in_array($row['id_member'], $admins))
$row['type'] = 1;
elseif (in_array($row['id_member'], $global_mods))
$row['type'] = 2;
else
$row['type'] = 3;
*/

$staff_list[$row['type'] . '-' . ucwords($row['real_name'])] = array(

this just changes how the row['type'] is set, instead of by authority level its now by the order of the $sortorder list and then by the members name in for each 'group'
