View Full Version : How to: Show members of a usergroup, but only if you are a member yourself?

Basically I need a way people can check who are the members of a certain usergroup. I know can do this with the showgroups.php page if I enable that function for the group. However, I want to limit the ability to see the members of that group, to only those that are a member of the group themselves. So that if a member that is NOT a member of said group looks at the showgroups page, they can't see the members of said group.

Even better, I'd prefer this was a seperate page from showgroups.php. I like having only the forum leaders/staff appear on the showgroups page. Having all the members of this certain group appear their too would greatly clutter it. Can I output this info to a sepeate page? Perhaps like a showgroups2 page or a filter for the page that I can put in the URL?

The folks at vbulletin.com said it would require a mod... anyone know of a way to do it without a mod OR a mod that will do this? Thanks!

Yes, you need a mod.

And it is possible to put in separate file.

I'm not aware about this mod. You'll need to write it. :)

Bumping this. Anyone else got any ideas|

As far as writing a mod... What should I learn to do something like that. No I'm not kidding, but i'm not a programmer by trade either. I'm support so.

I did this for my forum. I have a special group and they were always wondering who else was in the group. So, I basically copied the showgroups.php page only modified it to only show that one particular group. For the template, I put a conditional in front so only they could see it and then I also put the link in the Quicklinks drop-down, again so only they could see it. Mine is for 3.0 though.

This is a low-tech solution but what I did in a similar situation was to temporarily enable the member list, copy paste it to Excel and upload it to the board so only members could see it.

Please, can you attach or copy&past step-by-step modifications that you do for showgroups.php
I will try to do this also, if nobody can not realise the plug-in.

Thanks!!
