Show the Usergroup AND Member Groups in postbit

This hack will show what usergroups and membergroups a user is a part of, in the postbit.

This is a very simple hack to install, will take only 1 minute or less

Screenshot attached below.

NOTE: There are modifications for both postbit and postbit_legacy templates!

Anyways let's get started!

Open includes/functions_showthread.php and find

PHP Code:

    $show['messageicon'] = iif($post['iconpath'], true, false); 


Above, add:

PHP Code:

    $show[usergroup] = 1;
    $show[member_groups] = 1;
    $membergroupids = explode(',',$post[membergroupids]);
    $membergroups = '';
    
    foreach ($membergroupids as $group)
    {
        if ($membergroups == '')
        {
            $membergroups .= $usergroupcache[$group][title];
        }
        else
        {
            $membergroups .= ', '.$usergroupcache[$group][title];
        }
    } 


Open postbit template and find:

PHP Code:

                        <if condition="$show['reputation']">$post[reputationdisplay]</if> 


Below, add

PHP Code:

                        <if condition="$show[usergroup]"><br />$vbphrase[usergroup]: $post[displaygrouptitle]</if>
                        <if condition="$show[member_groups]"><br />$vbphrase[member_groups]: $membergroups</if> 


And just add one new phrase, member_groups, with the following content:

Member Groups

NOTE: If you are using postbit_legacy instead of postbit then add the new code for postbit, to wherever you want to show up in postbit_legacy, that's all!

Please click install if you installed this, thanks!

How's this hack for vB 3.0 Gold?


Also, which part needs to be surrounded by:

<if condition="is_member_of($bbuserinfo,6)">
 
<!-- code goes here -->
 
</if>

... in order to make this hack viewable by admins only?


Thanks, and again - Great Hack! (Hmm... I seem to keep saying this to you.... )

Hack works perfectly for Gold, and put the conditionals around the code that you are required to add.

In the postbit template, or the functions_showthread.php file?

Well that just shows what I know, doesn't it? But I learned something new, so for that - thank you.

Could this be changed to show usergroup ranks or rank images?
I'd like to show multiple rank images in the postbit.

[Ocean]

Gary, I just noticed something odd...

I have a bunch of users whom I Mass Moved into another UserGroup. However, although in the "User" Table, the "usergroupid" field shows the correct New Group - the "displaygroupid" field still has their old UserGroup.

Now, I don't know if this is what is supposed to happen or not - however, this hack seems to pull from the "displaygroupid" field, instead of the "usergroupid" field.

As such, a large number of users now show up with the wrong Group info in the Postbit!


Assuming that this is not a problem with vB (in other words, assuming that the "displaygroupid" field is *supposed* to show the old Group) - than what needs to be changed in this hack to reflect the correct field being used?

[Gary King]

Replace

$post[displaygrouptitle]

with

$usergroupcache[$post[usergroupid]][title]

[Ocean]

Gary, I tried the replacement you suggested, and I got a Parse Error.



Parse error: parse error, unexpected '[', expecting ']' in C:\WebSite\forums\includes\adminfunctions_template .php(3037) : eval()'d code on line 74

[Gary King]

In the includes/functions_showthread.php find

PHP Code:

$show['messageicon'] = iif($post['iconpath'], true, false); 


Above, add $usergroupname = $usergroupcache[$post[usergroupid]][title];

Then put $usergroupname in the postbit template wherever you want the usergroup to showu p.

Thanks, Gary! That did the trick perfectly!
