Team Page

[Diego Andrés]

5.4.3 - 26 June 2023

• Fixed displaying disabled Custom Titles.
• Fixed HTML entities not displaying.
• Changed settings descriptions.

The "Only available for left and right blocks" for many of the options seems not to be accurate, they work for bottom blocks as well. Or at least they work if bottom is the only selected layout (left and right empty, so disabled).

I removed the descriptions and left it as it is, seems like there are currently no issues displaying the information. It used to be a simple and single list so it didn't have that info, now it uses pretty much the same style as the other blocks.

Thank you! And I shall confirm that everything does indeed work as expected

Hi I've just installed and am trying to set up a team page
Page Title is obvious enough
I've Used Our Team

In then asks (compulsory) for a page subaction - but it doesn't explain what this is. (What is it?)
It merely says must be alphanumeric (fine) so I typed Meet Us

I got this error:

An error has occurred
The subaction must contain only alphanumeric characters.

So I assumed a space is not alphanumeric so tried just using the number 1, which works but I'm not clear on what this field is for?



There is also functionality which is either lacking or I don't know how to do it.
Have a look at YTYak.com currently and you'll see I've set up a groups page.

This allows me to show our Admins and Global Moderators (only)

I'd like to be able to put additional text, so we can have a bit of a bio, and also explaining what these people do in particular (different admins have different roles, so to speak) also have individual members added (perhaps former team members or moderators) without having to create a separate mods page. All in one place is best (rather than separate tabs). I can se where the latter would be useful for a big forum, but for a smaller one - all on one page is much better IMHO..

Appreciate if people could let me know how to resolve these issues

It refers to the subaction used in the link, to access the specific page directly.

The mod is only adding information from the users so this wouldn't be a feature.
Your alternatives are to use the groups description, or add a custom field for this information which you can then include in the page.

Hey Diego, I've been using this great mod for a long time and love it. I was just wondering if during your next update you could add the option in settings to call it either "Team Page" or "Staff Page" and have the menu button on the menu bar say "Team" or "Staff" based upon the selection? For some forums like ours, "Staff" would be a more fitting term than Team and would be more likely to draw people to use the mod. I considered going into the mod and attempting to change everything to "Staff" manually, but the changes I would make likely be overwritten with every mod update, so I thought I'd ask what you think about this change instead.

Thanks again for the great mod!

Take care,
Mike Vail

I'm not sure how useful it would be to change the button based on the page, it could be confusing for some users.
However, a setting to rename the button is definitely a good suggestion.

It might take me a bit to get to it (I don't have a local forum setup at the moment), in the mean time you should definitely edit the language file.

Code Select Expand

$txt['TeamPage_button'] = 'Team Page';
$txt['TeamPage_main_button'] = 'Team';
Those should be the strings needed afaik, in Themes/default/language/TeamPage.english.php

Running into this whenever I'm trying to install on SMF 2.1.4:

Code Select Expand

[21-Jun-2024 13:34:00 UTC] PHP Fatal error:  Uncaught Error: Using $this when not in object context in <site url>/Sources/TeamPage/TeamPage.php:37
It actually causes the entire forum to throw a 500 error, and the only fix I've found is commenting out lines 36-39 and then uninstalling the mod.

What PHP version are you using

[Mooby The Golden Sock]

Oh goodness, we were on 7.2.  Updating to 8.3 fixed it, thanks!

[Diego Andrés]

Good to know.
Seems I didn't tag the MOD, should work with PHP 8.0+. I'll add it later to the page.

Oh goodness, we were on 7.2.  Updating to 8.3 fixed it, thanks!

Just be aware that no version of smf currently supports php 8.3

Odd, 2.1 claims to support it here.

There are one or two minor issues discovered that will be addressed in the next patch (2.1.5), but should work fine.

Is one of those issues that the page doesn't work if the users have multiple groups on the forum? I remember using an older version of this mod on 2.0 that worked fine.

But on the 2.1 version I noticed that it only shows people that have a specific group als "primary role". So let's say you have a clan website that has people with the "Member" role but also with the role "Competitive Team" to view private forums with strategies. There is no way to show those people on the "Member" page and on the "Competitive" page because only the primary role works.

My previous post was referencing SMF versioning, not Team Page mod.

I haven't seen those issues you're mentioning. Did you enable the setting 'Display members in additional groups'? I can't reproduce the issue. I tested this scenario

User 1 is in Group A and Group B.
The page displays both groups.
If the setting is disabled, User 1 only appears in Group A.
If the setting is enabled, User 1 appears in both groups.

I did not. My apologies. I hope I didn't waste to much of your time.

No worries!
