Hey everyone. So lately I've been searching for someone to do this for me but I figure if I learned it myself it'd be much more helpful to me in the future. I run a gaming clan, and we have a roster. You can view it here: http://www.zealotgaming.com/forum/pages.php?pageid=15 Obviously, you can see a few things. The default page lists all our staff. That is very easy, and not really the part I need help with. The help begins with the games list you see at the side. When you click a game, it lists all users who have that Game listed as their Main Game in a profile field, and lists other info, such as their rank, In-Game contact (which is another profile field) and join date/last active. The games are also themselves divided into categories. Our code is relatively simple. We keep a manual array of info that keeps these together you can see below: // Define Games and Lists // $gameslist = array(); //SETUP $gamelist[] = array("Game Name","urlshortcode","Name of In-Game Name or Account", "field# for that profile field"); $gameslist[] = array("Battlefield 4 (PS4)", "bf4ps4", "PlayStation ID", "field7"); $gameslist[] = array("Counter Strike: Global Offensive (EU)", "csgoeu", "Steam ID", "field8"); $gameslist[] = array("Counter Strike: Global Offensive (NA)", "csgona", "Steam ID", "field8"); $gameslist[] = array("Elder Scrolls Online (NA)", "esona", "Main Character", "field45"); $gameslist[] = array("League of Legends (EUNE)", "loleune", "Summoner Name", "field12"); $gameslist[] = array("League of Legends (EUW)", "loleuw", "Summoner Name", "field31"); $gameslist[] = array("League of Legends (NA)", "lolna", "Summoner Name", "field32"); $gameslist[] = array("League of Legends (OCE)", "loloce", "Summoner Name", "field47"); $gameslist[] = array("Minecraft", "mc", "Username", "field14"); $gameslist[] = array("Smite (EU)", "smiteeu", "Smite Account", "field22"); $gameslist[] = array("Smite (NA)", "smitena", "Smite Account", "field22"); $gameslist[] = array("Titanfall", "tfall", "Origin ID", "field29"); $gameslist[] = array("WildStar (EU)", "wseu", "Main Character", "field48"); $gameslist[] = array("WildStar (NA)", "wsna", "Main Character", "field48"); $gameslist[] = array("World of Tanks (EU)", "woteu", "WarGaming.NET ID", "field46"); $gameslist[] = array("Other Game", "other", "", ""); // Game Type Categories $gamecats = array(); // ADD the # of the game in the list above (starting from 0) to the appropriate category array number list. $gamecats[] = array("Divisions",array(4,5,6)); $gamecats[] = array("Guilds",array()); $gamecats[] = array("Gaming Groups",array()); $gamecats[] = array("Divisions in Development",array(0,1,2,3,7,8,9,10,11,12,13,14)); $gamecats[] = array("Miscellaneous",array(15)); This gets tedious to keep track of manually, and my admins with no programming experience can barely understand what is happening. The listing of users is very easy, and I do not need any help with that. What I would like to add is a manager in the admin panel where you could save the information listed above to a table such as PREFIX.games. I imagine having several drop down boxes. A mockup is below: I'd then Like a list of games that includes these rows in the table with a [ ] Remove checkbox. I do not know how to add this to the admin panel and would love guidance on how to begin doing this. The sorting would go by Game Status (the second array in my php code) then Alphabetical. This would go a long way in helping my staff edit this list themselves. Any help would be appreciated. Skype: j.c.will my be better to work personally with me.

Hey guys! I am trying to create a script to "promote" all my members at once based on some forum measurements. Here is my code (pastebin). I don't know what is wrong. The page is blank and won't even load. Please help. http://pastebin.com/aZeKq1Zw Note: This is within the vBulletin 4.2.2 framework.

Hello everyone! I am here to ask for some help with a certain script I have concocted. I run a moderately sized gaming community (using vBulletin 4.2.2) that supports multiple games, and as such we needed an automated roster to keep track of who plays what games. The code displays a list of games on the left, and the actual roster to the right. The default page is a "leadership roster" listing all the leaders. Game Roster pages include several things. Username, User Rank, IGN/Game Account Name, Join Date, and Last Active Date. You can sort by Join and Last Active Dates. There are also two types of members on the roster. Those who play the game as their "main game" and those who play it occasionally as an "other game". It is easy to get the main game members, since you can only have one, vBulletin saves it as text, so you can match it. The other games selector is saved bitwise, so we have to run a check for the game's location in the list against the user's saved bitwise in their profile to see if they play it. To do this, instead of manually coding the bit number, since everything is alphabetical, we simply assign each game a number, and do a a bitshift (1<<x) to get the proper bit (I've been told bitshift is much faster than using pow(2,x)). However, because it's specific too us, I have hard coded a lot of stuff, including mixing presentation code with functional code. The code works just fine for us, but I want to make it much easier so that other staff members besides me can update it easily and so the code is easier to manage. I hope I have given a good explanation of what the code does! To see the code in action, click http://www.zealotgaming.com/forum/pages.php?pageid=15 To see the code with syntax highlighted, here is the pastebin: http://pastebin.com/Nuanj4Ci I thank you all in advance for any help and advice you can give me. I am a novice and have been learning as I go to do this for my community.
