Displaying Private Usergroups on profile

[Elixar]

Yep Ozzy.

[ozzy47]

So only staff is seeing the private groups, is that not what you are asking?

Or am I just totally lost.

[Elixar]

Yes that's what I mean, only Staff groups can see them.

There's two ways basically. If you have just a few usergroups and don't change them often, you could just do this using several if-conditions in the template. Disadvantage: If you add a new usergroup, you have to edit the template again. But normally you probably won't do that all that often. (Very) big advantage: You save database queries.

You'd go as follows:

In postbit or postbit_legacy template find

{vb:raw template_hook.postbit_userinfo_right}

Then add above:

<vb:if condition="in_array($bbuserinfo['usergroupid'], array(5,6,7))">
	<span style="font-weight: bold;">Usergroups:<br /></span>
	<vb:if condition="in_array($post['usergroupid'], array(6))">Administrator</vb:if>
	<vb:if condition=" in_array($post['usergroupid'], array(5))">Super-Moderator</vb:if>
	<vb:if condition=" in_array($post['usergroupid'], array(7))">Moderator</vb:if>
	<vb:if condition=" in_array($post['usergroupid'], array(2))">Registered User</vb:if>
</vb:if>

I think you get the drill. Just add another line per usergroup you want to show.

Doing it with a plugin would be a bit more complicated, and would add a query per post on the page.

Hey there, thanks! Unfortunately I'm not seeing it show up on the profiles.

[cellarius]

Ouch, I thought you wanted it on postbit. Just replace every occurence of $post with $prepared and add it to the profile template, wherever you want to show it. That should work.

[Elixar]

Which profile template?

[cellarius]

OK, I had a closer look into the matter, and it is in fact possible to achieve what you want in a more comfortable way, w/o needing to query the database (all necessary information is present in the datastore-cache and can be pulled from there).

I made a little addon out of it: https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/showthread.php?t=309645

I tested it out, and unfortunately they didn't appear on the profile and I got an error. I hate to be a huge bother.

[cellarius]

No bother at all; I think I found a minor error, just fixing it atm. Could you tell me exactly what your error is, though?
