Installed and working like a charm.. Thanks Logician :)

I even installed it incorrectly and it still worked.. :D
Originally, I only added $debug=1; once.. It was only after reading the file for a second time that I noticed I should have added it twice. I've corrected this now, but everything still worked doing it just the once.!

If your forget to apply step 1 correctly before installing step 2, the hack can stop running when you update your forum. If hack options disappear when you update your forum, now you know why. ;) In this scenario apply step 1 and 2 again when this happens.

Hi, what I'm trying to do is this:

Registered Users are group ID: 2
Paid Subscribers are group IDs: 10, 11, & 12

All Paid Subscribers' primary usergroup is 2.
Paid Subscriber's secondary usergroups are either 10,11, or 12.

I want the following announcement to show up for paid subscribers only, but paid subscribers do not see any announcement.

Code:
[[($bbuserinfo[usergroupid]==10 OR $bbuserinfo[usergroupid]==11 OR $bbuserinfo[usergroupid]==12)]]
Welcome $bbuserinfo[username]! Thank you for being a Contributing Member! :)
<br> If you do not see an icon before your name, <a href="profile.php?do=editusergroups">Click Here</a> to choose to be recognized as a contributing member.
[[/($bbuserinfo[usergroupid]==10 OR $bbuserinfo[usergroupid]==11 OR $bbuserinfo[usergroupid]==12)]]
If I include group ID 2 in the above syntax, then registered users see the above message even if they haven't paid anything.

Any suggestions?

Thanks,
Brandy

OK, I've tried a variety of different things and I think I've figured out the problem. The Dynamic Announcements only read the PRIMARY group ID. Am I right? Can you make it so that they also recognize the SECONDARY group ID as well?

I can't make the paid subscribers a primary group manually, because when their subscription runs out, they still need to be a registered user, so they need to have the "registered user" group as their primary group.

Is this clear as mud? :tired:
Any hope for it being able to work?

$bbuserinfo[usergroupid] keeps only primary usergroup id. So if you use this variable in your conditional you can not make the announcement displayed to your paid users.

It is $bbuserinfo[membergroupids] that saves secondary userid. So theorically you need to use it to target your paid user like:

[[($bbuserinfo[membergroupids] == 10 OR $bbuserinfo[membergroupids] == 11 OR $bbuserinfo[membergroupids] == 12)]]
thanks for paying
[[/($bbuserinfo[membergroupids] == 10 OR $bbuserinfo[membergroupids] == 11 OR $bbuserinfo[membergroupids] == 12)]]

HOWEVER:

$bbuserinfo[membergroupids] is technically a different variable then $bbuserinfo[usergroupid] because unlike primary usergroup, secondary usergroup can have more than 1 values. For instance you can have a user put into 3 different secondary usergroups at the same time. Therefore such a conditional will fail for these users when they are a member of more than 1 secondary usergroup.

Bottom line what you are trying to achieve is not easily possible with this hack in certain conditions.

check template modifications. You probably did not make them in all active templates sets available.

I am also having trouble trying to get this to work properly...

I have tried using the is_member_of() function but it doesn't seem to be recognizing it either. Does anyone else have any idea how to post an announcement to display for peoples secondary usergroups?

Is a similar hack available for vb2?
