Use hyperlink in navbar to join a usergroup

I have a forum which is dedicated to Spam to keep the other forums clean.
So I created a usergroup but most of the member don't go into the group management to join it since they simply don't know the system.

This is how you can add a link into your navbar.

In my example I have a drop down menu for "stuff"

Demo: http://ut2007world.com

I THINK this code can be added anywhere, but since I wanted to use the hyperlink in the navbar, I put it in there.

Open your navbar template:

Style Manager > Edit Templates > Navigation / Breadcrump Templates > navbar

Add at the beginning of the template :

<!-- Show usergroup X -->
<form action="profile.php" method="post" id="foo">
<input type="hidden" name="s" value="$session[sessionhash]" />
<input type="hidden" name="do" value="joingroup" />
<input type="hidden" name="usergroupid" value="x" />
</form>
<!-- / Show usergroup X -->

<!-- Hide usergroup X -->
<form action="profile.php" method="post" id="fooo">
<input type="hidden" name="s" value="$session[sessionhash]" />
<input type="hidden" name="do" value="leavegroup" />
<input type="hidden" name="usergroupid" value="x" />
</form>
<!-- / Hide usergroup X -->

Change

value="x"

To the approriate usergroupid ..

Now add a link to you navbar

Here is my example :

<tr><td class="thead">Spam</td></tr>
<tr><td class="vbmenu_option"><a  href="#" onclick="document.getElementById('foo').submit();return false;">Show Spam Forums</a></td></tr>
<tr><td class="vbmenu_option"><a  href="#" onclick="document.getElementById('fooo').submit();return false;">Hide Spam Forums</a></td></tr>

If you would like to add more than one, you simple double up the code and change

id="foo">

to something else .. Please note that for each

<form>

You need another id .. if you look closer you can see that even with just one usergroup I used once foo and fooo

Very nice addon, might as well use it some time later on.

Little note; the IRC chat applet you got on your website is JAVA, not Flash

Would this work for all Usergroups, as in not just join Publicly Joinable ones?

[utw-Mephisto]

It works as well .. but the usergroup leader still has to approve ..

I wanted to alt. the "Join Group" and "Leave Group" text link when the user clicks on the "Join Group" and "Leave Group" respectively. Can anyone guide me? Thank you.
