Users display

[killerkraft]

Hello,

I tried to look everything in here and found no answer to this :

Is there a way to selectively change the result of the $activeusers array ?
i.e., on the whats going on box, i want it to appear sorted by name, position

AdminA, AdminB, ModA, Modb, UserA, UserB and so on...

Could this be done ?

The query to grab the users is around line 444 of index.php. You may be able to hook into the forumhome_loggedinuser_query location with a plugin and add a GROUP BY addition to the query. I haven't used that much in queries, so I'm not real familiar with it.

I see it now, just before // memory saving.
Unfortunately i do not know how to do such a thing...
Could someone else give a hand?

Play with it on a test site. Like I said, you can probably use GROUP BY - MySQL Tutorial - Group By
Something like:

PHP Code:

$hook_query_where = 'GROUP BY whatever'; 


(Problem is going to be sorting them the way you want - admins, then mods, etc. That's going to actually require a bit more coding. There used to be a mod that did this, did you search?)

I did search but found nothing.
In any case, i will try and make some changes myself then post the result here, ok ?
Just let me read and try.
