Add another "notable member" tab

[Jake Bunce]

Jake Bunce submitted a new resource:

Add another "notable member" tab - For example, to list special usergroups

library/XenForo/ControllerPublic/Member.php

Add the red code (and specify the secondary group id for your vip members):

	protected function _getNotableMembers($type, $limit)
	{
		$userModel = $this->_getUserModel();

		$notableCriteria = array(
			'is_banned' => 0
		);

		if ($type == 'vip')
		{
			$notableCriteria['secondary_group_ids'] = array(3);
		}

		$typeMap = array(
			'messages' => 'message_count',...

Oh I NEED THIS!!! How do I do this for multiple usergroups?

 

[DRE]

Ah man we gotta edit the files on the server? Can you make an addon version of this?

 

[Daniel Hood]

Just do the same thing multiple times? Copy the html code twice, copy the php code twice. Unless you meant showing multiple user groups under one tab? Then I think you'd just change

$notableCriteria['secondary_group_ids'] = array(3);

to

$notableCriteria['secondary_group_ids'] = array(3,4,5);

 

[DRE]

I mean each usergroup that you want to add should have their tab.

Yo @Daniel Hood jake don't like making addons, would you be able to make an addon version of this?

 

[Daniel Hood]

Well then yes, you would just copy the code multiple times. I'll let Jake give a more detailed example as it's his tutorial.

Jake too busy converting sites to Xenforo.

Possibly. We'll see

Where would I look to find more $typeMap = array's ?

 

[RobParker]

I don't quite get the implementation of this. Is the 3 in array(3) the user group assigned as the VIP one?

If I wanted to display a "Donators" tab, can I just change that ID to the donators user group?

 

[Daniel Hood]

Correct.

@Jake Bunce, how many "VIP" would be shown? If I had 250 VIP members, would they all be shown?

Is it possible for this to be done as a add on. I don't like modifying core code as I always forget what ive done when it comes to upgrade time.

Definitely. It would be fairly easy to make it an addon. I just don't like making and supporting lots of little addons.

Any developer is welcome to copy this code and make a proper addon out of it.

@Jake Bunce, where would I look to get a list or other options to select from rather than "message_count"

 

[Daniel Hood]

$typeMap = array(
'messages' => 'message_count',
'likes' => 'like_count',
'points' => 'trophy_points',
'vip' => 'message_count'
);

You can use message_count, like_count, trophy_points or try to look /root/library/XenForo/Model/User.php in the conditionals.
