Staff Page Mod

[Skipdawg]

Much better. Very good job.

1.0 Installed Fine but I removed it to install 1.1 and I get this "3. Execute Modification ./Themes/default/index.template.php Test failed "

Any reason for this?  I am using 1.1RC2

The problem appears to be that you are trying to replace the menu bar instead of just adding the "staff" action after one of the other buttons.  I have several other actions in the menu bar that are altering the code so the install is not finding the code you are specifing to be replaced.

[vbgamer45]

Yeah, that's it. I will make an update for that soon.

[littleone]

Not to sound impatient, but does soon mean today, or within the coming weeks?  Just curious as I really like this mod   Nice Job.

[vbgamer45]

I say about half hour, I will have an update.

[littleone]

Oh kool   I'll keep an eye open for it thanks 

[vbgamer45]

Updated with the fix for littleone.

[Skipdawg]

vbgamer45 dose this mod read from the regular non-post count based groups? Or i it suppose to be just looking for Admin and moderators?

I was playing and added a group called partner and it shows up in the staff list also.

[vbgamer45]

Currently it will show all non posting groups.

I think I am just going to place a text field under "Basic Features" and then you enter in the groups you do not want to show on the staff list seperated by a comma.
I would rather alter the groups table to toggle if they are visible but don't want to mess up any mods, or future upgrades.

Im getting that its corrupted now.  Not sure why.  I am going to try something real quick and post if I get it to work.

[littleone]

ok nm, i worked perfectly, thanks

[littleone]

I have four suggestions.


Allow the Admin to select which groups do and don't appear.  I have special ranks that are not staff.  Gold Members, Platinum Members, ect, and these all show on the Staff Page when they arent, so it be nice to disallow some of these (I see you are already thinking about this). 

Also, as a cosmetic suggestion, on the contact information, do a Left or Right Align as opposed to a "center," this way everything is uniform from one particular point, some members dont have IMs selected and others do and it looks cluttered and messy, and left or right alignment would smooth that out some.

then, when I go to check the permission, for some of the groups there are 36 permissions, after I check the one to allow them to view the staff list, it still reads 36 and the option is still checked.  Actually on some others it went from 65 to 64 permissions when it should have gone to 66.

Finally, how about being able to set the order of the ranks, incase we wish to keep all member groups.

That is sounding good. 

watching the evolution of a mod can be so kewl.

Great mod~

You beat everyone to it.  Tried it myself, but couldn't figure it out.


Just one thing...  The PM link works for the nonposting groups, however, the local mods are coming up blank.  It's not plugging the data as it should.  Any suggestions?

[vbgamer45]

Just fixed the PM link for local mods.

Two other goals for me is to hide groups that you want and finish SMF 1.0.7 support for the latest version.

[onijin]

That's too fast man~

Don't kill yourself.

=P



oh~ sorry, one more thing...

Code Select Expand

//Send email row
echo '<a href="mailto:', $data['emailAddress'], '"><img src="' . $settings['images_url'] . '/sendemail.gif"></a>

is what I'm trying to get for the send email button for the locals.  That's coming up blank.  It worked for the nonposting groups though.  I'm guessing 'emailAddress' isn't correct here.

[Harzem]

I've not looked at the mod, but if it is not already so, I will add something.

email addresses shouldn't show up in the list if the user has selected "hide my address". And if there is anything about online status, the same applies.

But again, these may be already implemented, I don't know.

[onijin]

well...  The mod doesn't show anything about online status...  And didn't come with email at all.  Just PM, and some chatting links.

[vbgamer45]

Just added email support and will not show if email is chosen to be hidden.
