View Full Version : Miscellaneous Hacks - Other Usergroup Display

A mod to allow the optional display of additional usergroups, by their title and markup (if any) at a choice of postbit locations.
This mod works by assembling a list of groups which aren't the users display group and if they meet the display criteria, such as group that can override primary group, it will display it as a list of usergroups in the location chosen. The default location is postbit_userinfo_left.
There are two hooks to enable customization of the information being displayed.

Admincp -> Options -> Other Usergroup Display Settings
First option specifies which criteria to use for displaying additional groups (default is do not display additional groups)
Second options (textbox) is used if you've selected Show Selected Groups, in which case a comma separated list of usergroup ids with no spaces should be entered
Third where in the postbit you want the additional groups displayed.

Does this work with the legacy postbit or just the new postbit?
EDIT: Uploaded the two files to specified directory, changed settings, no change in postbit new or legacy :(

It works for both, though some setting will only work for one postbit or the other. What are the settings you're using? I should note that not all the locations that you can display the information is in the postbit.

Did you change the setting to enable it? I have it running perfectly fine on a vbulletin 4.2.1 install so there should be no issues. Also the user(s) you are looking at need to have other usergroups, aside from their primary usergroup, that meet the requirements for the settings you've chosen.

There is no enable or disable option!
But I tried every available option!
I tray remove first and last line from postbit_other_usergroup_display template but still nothing to show
And yes of course I am trying this on users with multiple groups :)
I tried: "Show All Groups" and I tried "Show Groups That Can Override and Show Forum Leader Groups" and I don't know what those two means!
And "Show Selected Groups" and I inter all usergroups IDs except Banned
still nothing!
I am using postbit_legacy template and I tried all "Location in postbit" options:
postbit_userinfo_left
postbit_userinfo_right
postbit_userinfo_right_after_posts
postbit_signature_start
postbit_signature_end
I also switch to postbit template and still nothing
I also copy code from postbit_other_usergroup_display template to postbit_legacy template and nothing!

Sorry about this but now I just install it in a third site with vBulletin 4.2.0 Patch Level 3 and still nothing to show at all
* I even reviewed the hole code with my humble PHP experience and I can't find any thing wrong!
I also disable all other plugins and use default style in all 3 sites but no joy :(

I'd have to see the site (one of them) to at least have a change of figuring out why you can't get it to work. The only thing I can think of is that there's a conflict with another product, or you changed the default code. What other products do you have installed that are shared with both forums you've installed it on.
