Question

How to show the groups the user belongs to in the user profile

Answer

Dear Webmaster, please replace the FAQ with the following because something is wrong in the faq display:
Here begins:
-------------------
This is for adding the groups of the user to the userinfo, so they are displayed in his/her profile.
It is nice for projects that all members (not only the admin) need to know when a member is part of a special group.

I developed this hack from a post of bluescreen, who did something similar to point 2, but for another purpose. Sorry I can't find that post.
The hack is this way:

1) in the file /language/english/user.php add this line:


// hack jordi user groups displaying

define('_US_GRUPOS','Community Status');

// end of hack jordi

2) In the file userinfo.php look where it says this:


if ( is_object($xoopsUser) && $isAdmin ) {



    $xoopsTpl->assign('lang_editprofile', _US_EDITPROFILE);



    $xoopsTpl->assign('lang_deleteaccount', _US_DELACCOUNT);



    $xoopsTpl->assign('user_uid', $thisUser->getVar('uid'));



}

and add this after it:


// hack display user groups



$verGrupos = $thisUser->getGroups();

$susGrupos='';

        

//group number 1 is allways admin

if ( in_array("1", $verGrupos) ) { $susGrupos = 'Administrator'; }



//group 4 is a group you may have created

// remove this line if you didn't

// you can also add more lines, checking numbers from 4 to X

// for the groups you created



elseif ( in_array("4", $verGrupos) ) { $susGrupos .= 'A group you created'; }

//group 2 is the registered users. All people belong to this group if they are registered.

elseif ( in_array("2", $verGrupos) ) { $susGrupos .= 'Proud Member'; }



// this asigns values to variables in system_userinfo



$xoopsTpl->assign('lang_grupos', _US_GRUPOS);

$xoopsTpl->assign('user_grupos', $susGrupos);



// fin hack mostrar grupos

If you wonder what is group 3, I must say that group 3 is Anonymous, so they don't have user profile, so no need to care about.
If you want a group displayed regardless that the user belongs to another one, use a "if" bucle instead of "elseif" for that group.

3) Finally go to modules/system/templates/system_userinfo.html where it says:


<tr valign="top">



<td class="head" width="25%"><{$lang_avatar}></td>

<td align="center" class="even"><img src="<{$user_avatarurl}>" alt="Avatar" /></td>



</tr>

And add this after it:


<!-- jordi: hack user groups display -->

<tr>

<td class="head" width="25%"><{$lang_grupos}></td>

<td class="odd"><{$user_grupos}></td>

</tr>

<!-- jordi: end of hack user groups display -->

Now you got it!
You don't need to create any database or nothing, just do these 3 steps.

I modified this hack a bit so that it shows all groups, without you having to add an if/else for each group.

I have many groups, and I may be adding more in the future, so I don't want to have to alter the userinfo.php every time I add a new group.

It's all the same as above, except in step 2 I added this code instead:


// hack display user groups



 //checks for user's groups

   $mygroups =& $member_handler->getGroupsByUser($thisUser->getVar('uid'), true);

   foreach ($mygroups as $group) {

       $gname = $group->getVar('name');

        $in_groups .= $gname.", ";

   }

$in_groups = substr($in_groups, 0, -2); 



$xoopsTpl->assign('lang_grupos', _US_GRUPOS);

$xoopsTpl->assign('user_grupos', $in_groups);



// end hack

Also, if you try to modify the template and it doesn't work. Access the template through the Admin > System > Templates.

I used this in XOOPS 2.10.17.
