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.

Hahaha
Hahaha , oops. I mean the 3 lines in the beginning are just a salutation... Anyway thanks for publishing this.
