MMO Recruitment (EQ, EQ2, LotR, Vanguard, WoW, Matrix Online, SWG, FFO)
** This is an update**
You should remove the current product and import the new file (not overwrite) for best results.
Both Modules now use Module Shell Template.
Fixed several bugs that caused page errors on different forums.
Added Everquest support.
It is very very important to set Use Module Wrapper Template: Yes, otherwise you will break your front page.
If you changed any of your templates you will need to revert them after the product import!
This is a VBAdvanced add on for the portal home page.. It will display a list of classes you are recruiting for your selected game, it also provides (a now templated) form to update the status, permissions for the form are controlled via group id's (primary group id) in the admin panel.
The zip file has a complete set of instructions for installing and removing the mod.

Optional (Add AJAX Support to the updater form):
Inside the header OR headerinclude template (where ever your <head> </head> tags exist)
Put: <script type="text/javascript" src="http://www.mydomain.com/forum/clientscript/mmoRecruit.js"></script>
The AJAX has been tested on Firefox and IE7, if the requestor code fails the form will just submit normally.
Troubleshooting:
If the product import fails you can still do it by hand.
The templates are in forum_templates directory, the name of the file is the template name that needs to be used.
Creating the SQL Tables by hand.
Code:
CREATE TABLE game_rec_settings(
game VARCHAR( 120 ) NOT NULL,
enabled INT(2) NOT NULL,
groups VARCHAR( 12 ) NOT NULL
)ENGINE = MYISAM;
You may need to add the table prefix.
Code:
INSERT INTO game_rec_settings(game,enabled,groups)VALUES('','1','6,7,5');
Again you may need to include the table prefix
