XOOPS FAQ - Hacks and modifying code - How to show the groups the user belongs to in the user profile

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:

  
<tr> 
<td class="head" width="25%"><{$lang_grupos}>td> 
<td class="odd"><{$user_grupos}>td> 
tr>

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

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.
