Template variable for checking group membership

[RMcGirr83]

This post was originally posted by Kenny at 6 String MODs, I have made some minor adjustments and we in the team will try to fix any bugs in the included codes.

I keep loosing this snippet and quite often I notice people asking for it, so I decided to post it here.

#
#-----[ OPEN ]------------------------------------------
#
includes/functions.php
#
#-----[ FIND ]------------------------------------------
#

Code: Select all

        // application/xhtml+xml not used because of IE
        header('Content-type: text/html; charset=UTF-8'); 

#
#-----[ BEFORE, ADD ]------------------------------------------
#

Code: Select all

if (!function_exists('group_memberships'))
{
    include($phpbb_root_path . 'includes/functions_user.'.$phpEx);
}
$groups = group_memberships(false,$user->data['user_id']);
if (sizeof($groups))
{
    foreach ($groups as $grouprec)
    {
        $template->assign_vars(array(
            'S_GROUP_' . $grouprec['group_id'] => true)
        );
    }
} 

Now on any page, you should be able to use this switch

Code: Select all

<!-- IF S_GROUP_X -->

Just replace X with ID of the group. You can also expand on that and add multiple groups and/or any other template function that is built into phpBB

Code: Select all

<!-- IF (S_GROUP_1 or S_GROUP_2) --> // if user is in either of the groups

Code: Select all

<!-- IF (S_GROUP_1 and S_GROUP_2) --> // User has to be in both groups to return true

Code: Select all

<!-- IF not S_GROUP_X --> // Show for all except that group

Has anyone made an extension for this modification? So, I don't have to modify core files after each upgrade.
