Customise the Staff Search Results page?

[VinnyChilds]

Is it possible to modify the Staff Search page? I'd like it to also display the Determination/Discipline/Motivation stats alongside the main Coaching Attributes rather than have to toggle between the 2 views constantly.

Thanks in advance.

Open the Person Search List.xml in your Documents\Sports Interactive\Football Manager 2010\skins\"Skin name"\panels by using a text editor (notepad plus is excellent and free)

scroll down and find <!-- staff view menu -->

then after that you will see the three views ( contract, coaching attributes and mental attributes)

for example Coaching Attributes look like this as default

<string id="text" value="Coaching Attributes"/>

<!-- Define attributes/properties to view in this view type on the panel.

Any properties not defined here will be hidden for this view. -->

<record id="view">

<flags id="Pcsj"/> <!-- short job text -->

<flags id="Pnam"/> <!-- person name -->

<flags id="Pclb"/> <!-- club team -->

<flags id="Npcg"/> <!-- goalkeeper coaching -->

<flags id="Ncha"/> <!-- coaching attacking-->

<flags id="Nchd"/> <!-- coaching defending-->

<flags id="Nchf"/> <!-- fitness coaching -->

<flags id="Nchm"/> <!-- mental coaching-->

<flags id="Ncte"/> <!-- technical coaching-->

<flags id="Ncta"/> <!-- tactical coaching-->

<flags id="Npmm"/> <!-- man management -->

<flags id="Npwy"/> <!-- working with youngsters -->

now simple create 3 more lines and put

<flags id="Npde"/> <!-- determination -->

<flags id="Npld"/> <!-- level of discipline -->

<flags id="Npmo"/> <!-- motivating -->

for example do this

<string id="text" value="Coaching Attributes"/>

<!-- Define attributes/properties to view in this view type on the panel.

Any properties not defined here will be hidden for this view. -->

<record id="view">

<flags id="Pcsj"/> <!-- short job text -->

<flags id="Pnam"/> <!-- person name -->

<flags id="Pclb"/> <!-- club team -->

<flags id="Npde"/> <!-- determination -->

<flags id="Npld"/> <!-- level of discipline -->

<flags id="Npmo"/> <!-- motivating -->

<flags id="Npcg"/> <!-- goalkeeper coaching -->

<flags id="Ncha"/> <!-- coaching attacking-->

<flags id="Nchd"/> <!-- coaching defending-->

<flags id="Nchf"/> <!-- fitness coaching -->

<flags id="Nchm"/> <!-- mental coaching-->

<flags id="Ncte"/> <!-- technical coaching-->

<flags id="Ncta"/> <!-- tactical coaching-->

<flags id="Npmm"/> <!-- man management -->

<flags id="Npwy"/> <!-- working with youngsters -->

same way you can delete what you dont want to show, e.t.c

be sure to Uncheck "Use skin cashe" and Check "Always reload skin on confirm"

Thanks for the answer. Unfortunately I don't have the Person Search List.xml file in my panels folder (I'm using base dark) so I guess I need to get that from somewhere first. I'll have a hunt to see where I can get that from.

Cheers.

Just extract it from the resource archiver like I did.

[VinnyChilds]

Yep, I've since ploughed through the FAQ and been introduced to the resource archiver. I suspect I may delve into this quite a bit

[Ampalaea4]

Open the Resource Archiver found in

C:\Program Files\Sports Interactive\Football Manager 2010\tools\resource archiver

Now hit the button Extract Archive.First we must select what file we want to extract.

now in the window that opens navigate to C:\Program Files\Sports Interactive\Football Manager 2010\data

and select panels.

Automatically now the program ask you to select in which folder you want to extract the archives.

this does not really matter.Select whatever folder you want, dont open it, just highlight it and then push the button Select.

The program now will extract all panels to that folder.You can find the Person Search List.xml In that folder

Then do the changes you want (my above post) and save the file.

Now go to Documents\Sports Interactive\Football Manager 2010 and create a folder with name "panels" without the quotes.

put the edited Person Search List.xml there and then reload your game (preferences : Uncheck "Use skin cashe" and Check "Always reload skin on confirm"

Tell if you have any problem or you want me to explain better

my English is not too good, I hope you understand

Edit : I made the file for you.you can download it here http://rapidshare.com/files/416997774/panels.rar

just put the folder "panels" you will find inside the rar in Documents\Sports Interactive\Football Manager 2010

and then go to preferences and Uncheck "Use skin cashe" and Check "Always reload skin on confirm" as I said above.

But I suggest you try and do this by your own, cause if you understand how it works then you can customize whatever you want by yourself

Look how I have it for example in 22' Monitor
