Template variable for checking group membership

[RMcGirr83]

No, that is not the purpose of this mod.

Well thanks for this mod, I use it as well. Could you possibly point me the way to what I am looking for? I only need to check against a handful of groups to simply display an image or not to display an image to everyone if that user is in a group or not.

I managed to cook this up by altering a snippet a person named cherokee red created which appears to be working just the way I want, which is the opposite of your code. However I am not sure if this is the best way to achieve the results, this goes in viewtopic.php.

Code: Select all

// Check what group a user is in
    if ( !function_exists('group_memberships') )
    {
        include_once($phpbb_root_path . 'includes/functions_user.'.$phpEx);
    }
   $groups = group_memberships(false,$poster_id);
        foreach ($groups as $poster_groups)
        {
          $template->assign_vars(array(
            'S_GRP_CHK_' . $poster_groups['group_id'] => true
            ));
      }

scratch the above, it works the same way.

Reason: fixed code if not in group

Whats the fix specifically? If statement or the php code?

[RMcGirr83]

The code to use in the html files.

[neuropass]

something else was changed.

what the difference between:

Code: Select all

if ($users_groups)

and:

Code: Select all

if (sizeof($groups))

[RMcGirr83]

if ($users_groups)

checks if variable is set

if (sizeof($groups))

checks to ensure that the array that is generated has something in it.

Not sure why it matters, just use the code in the first post.
