display MEMBER for a certain group.

[svoec]

Hey Guys & Gals

I have done some searches.. and I can't seem to find anything that matches up with what I am looking for..

I am looking into figuring this one out myself if, - butI I'm still a bit green

I run a board that is Operated by a club, and is open to the public. I want a way to display MEMBER under their avatar if they are a member of the group I have created called members

Help!

Thanks!

in functions.php in the getpostbit section add:
if($post[usergroupid]==xx) $post[member]='Member';
else $post[member]='';

then add $post[member] under the avatar in the postbit template

i knew the code, I was having problems finding where to put it!!!

Thanks !!

[Xenon]

you're welcome :)

[svoec]

anyone doing a copy and paste of the code above may want to correct the else, and the missing {}

[svoec]

hummm.. one slight problem with your method... if the user don't haev a avatar, it don't show up!!!

is there another template that contains the location and registratioin info stuff ??

[Xenon]

the code above is independant from having an avatar or not.
are you szure you have put $post[member] it into the postbit template and not in anotherone?

[svoec]

ahhh.. i put it in the postbit_avatar template...

The way I read your post, I thought that is what you meant...

I will move it...

thanks

[Xenon]

no problem, you're welcome :)

oh also there are no missing {} in my code, if it's just one code line, you can put it directly behind the iff and else without the {} :)

[svoec]

ahhh.. force of habit from too many other programming languages.. I just always use the { } -- but you are right.. if it is only one line, you don't need them

and suddenly else is spelled right :D

UGHHH -- ok ,, now.. strange display problem ---

if the post is short -- like one or 2 lines -- and the person IS in the specified group, it puts the "Report this post to a moderator | IP: Logged
" up like 1 inch from the bottom of the post.. it should be right at the very bottom.. any sugestions ??

[svoec]

nevermind.. that is just a freaky thing with VB -- it does it even if the person isn't in the group. .. it is just somethign with short posts...
