[Module] Dynamic Staffpage (vB3.5)

[Kesomir]

What it does
This module creates a dynamic staffpage for your website, drawing data from a custom biography field and using the members profile picture for display.

This means that your staff can keep both the picture and information about them updated themselves.

Stupid question: Why am I missing from my own page? I'm Sovereign, and Sovereign doesn't show up. http://www.alliancemodding.com/index.php?page=staff

The default moderator is disabled by default because many users keep that as an emergency admin account.

To show it, there is a section in the module where you can comment it out. Instructions for that should be in the code itself.

No profile images display on that page either, if they have been uploaded, ensure that you enable the option in vbulletin to show those to unregistered users.

Would there be anyway you could create a module where all staff are added to this page via admin cp or anything????

As an above poster says you can set the profile field to hidden. This means that the end user whose account it's attached to (your moderators) wont see it and you are able to edit it for each of their accounts by editing their profiles. Simple solution

What the hell?

The previous module here required avatars to be stored in the database.

When I checked, I think the zip may have contained version 1.4 not 1.5, or at least a version in between the two.

I have another version which works with avatars stored in the filesystem. Which I've now uploaded as 1.6 see if that sorts you.

Nice module!

I would prefer to just put the descriptions for each member myself though cause i have teen forums and although the staff know how to moderate etc. They might still post things i dont really want on that page! :P

If I understand the hack correctly you can make the profile field a hidden one thats editable by admins only.

[ninni]

But can I resize the module?
I want it to be in center, but I would like to hav columns on both sides.

*nevermind I got it, didn't read it all *

[ninni]

I did the changes to make my default admin show, but my veteran moderator doesn't show anymore

[ninni]

I fix the veteran moderator.

The module should resize automatically if you add anything to the right column.

[taylorstrait]

Instead of automatically clumping users by usergroups, is it possible to show their custom user titles instead? I have a software development team and would like their bios to show their custom title like "concept artist" or "animator" instead of just "Developer" (their usergroup).

I add a right column, but i shows under the staff page. Not to the right.I had the right column before I add the staffpage.

[ninni]

I can't seem to find where to go to have it show my secondary usergroups. I have several people on them and, well, they're not showing up...

[y2krazy]
