Is there a way to list the Usergroup in the postbit legacy, say in the format:

Class: Full Member/Moderator/Admin (etc)

I don't want this to be in usertitle, as the two will be kept separate.

Thanks.

sure. you could edit the display properties and place the following where needed repsectively within your postbit template.


<if condition="$post['usertitle']"><div class="smallfont">$post[usertitle]</div></if>
<if condition="$post['rank']"><div class="smallfont">$post[rank]</div></if>

That's User ranks though and not Usergroups right? I'm after the latter, since these classes would change via the promotion system.

I'm not sure if the Usergroup name is accessible via a variable. If I'm right in there not being one, you could use a set of conditional statements to create one.

<if condition="is_member_of($post, 6)">Administrator</if>It might be simpler to do it via a Plugin, as nested template conditionals can get kind of messy.

Create a new plugin at hook location "postbit_display_start" with the following:
if (is_member_of($post, 6)){
$usergroup = "Administrator";
}
elseif (is_member_of($post, 5)){
$usergroup = "Usergroup 5";
}
elseif (is_member_of($post, 4)){
$usergroup = "Usergroup 4";
}
elseif (is_member_of($post, 3)){
$usergroup = "Usergroup 3";
}

Then place $usergroup in your postbit template wherever you'd like their Usergroup name to show up.

In the above codes, the integer after "$post," represents the Usergroup ID we're matching against.

I've seen it done on a few other boards, so I don't imagine it being that difficult.

Can you direct me to said plugin please?

You must've posted while I was editing -- look at my post above.

Edit: Just ran across an alternative solution. Use the following in your postbit template wherever you'd like the Usergroup name displayed (No plugin needed):

{$GLOBALS[vbulletin]->usergroupcache[$post[usergroupid]][title]}

Okay, gotcha. I'll give this a try and get back to you.

Thanks a lot!

User group is located within the $userinfo array, which should be available in the postbit, but don't quote me on the availability part.

No $userinfo is only available in the MEMBERINFO templates, to my knowledge.

Reason I said don't quote me on it. I know it is stored in the userinfo though.

Any idea what the array key is?

Good work, Kirk Y, glad there's a simple solution.

One question, it displays 'Adminstrator'. Now is there a way I can put Rank: before it? I would also want that part bold.

Thanks.

<strong>Rank:</strong> {$GLOBALS[vbulletin]->usergroupcache[$post[usergroupid]][title]}

Thank you again, Kirk. Now here's something else you might be able to help me with: How would I go about having a user's usergroups listed in their profile page? I'd like it on the left just under Join Date, in a bulleted list, e.g.

- Administrator
- Senior Member

Thanks.

That would require a little modding, you might want to make a request and see if someone can put something together for you.
