Don't know if....

... this has been done already or if there is a default variable for it.

But, how would I be able to show what usergroup a member is in, in the postbit.

As I said, I'm not sure whether this would be a hack.. or if this is a default variable.

Thanks. :)

2 ways:
1- Enter a userstatus for that usergroup in Admin CP

2- Requires a hack:

edit function.php find:
$post[posttime]=vbdate($timeformat,$post[dateline]);
after that add:

if ($post[usergroupid]==6) {$post[usergroupname]='<img src=images/adminav.gif>';}
elseif ($post[usergroupid]==5) {$post[usergroupname]='<img src=images/modav.gif>';}

(You have to add all usergroups in this format)

Then add $post[usergroupname] into postbit template

elseif ($bbuserinfo[usergroupid]==2) {$bbuserinfo[usergroupname]='Registered Member';}

I'll do the hack, it seems best.

So I just add each usergroup status to the bottom of the global file?

Say if I made up a new usergroup bean man :p, for example.. I'd add

elseif ($bbuserinfo[usergroupid]==10) {$bbuserinfo[usergroupname]='Bean Man';}

then place $bbuserinfo[usergroupname]... in the postbit and it'll show? :) Just to make sure....

This is the code I have, and I've inserted the variable into the postbit. But It's showing the admin image for every user... Any help?

[Logician]

my bad.. postbit needs a different approach.. my post updated, try again..

[Chris Gwynne]

edit function.php find:

"function.php" being admin/functions.php ? because I've just tried this and it isn't working.

Ooops, forgot to change the variable in the postbit. Thanks a lot for the help Logician. :)
