Forum Template User-defined permissions

[ironlion]

Is it possible to use the abouve code with RANKS.

say:

<!-- IF S_RANK_2 -->some stuff here<!-- ENDIF -->

if so, what needs to be modified in:

Code: Select all

        if ( !function_exists('group_memberships') )
        {
            include($phpbb_root_path . 'includes/functions_user.'.$phpEx);
        }
        $groups = group_memberships(false,$user->data['user_id']);
        foreach ($groups as $grouprec)
        {
            $template->assign_vars(array(
            'S_GROUP_' . $grouprec['group_id'] => true
            ));
        }

many thanks

ok just in case anyone is interested who may be confused on where to put the switch, here is what i did and it might help you understand this better.

now this is just what i did, you might want to do something different.. im just adding this because i just did this and i wanted to share to make it easier for you..


after you place the code in the functions php file.. which by the way that place your looking for to place that code is near the bottom of functions php lol... i should have started from the bottom up lol

now once thats is there... i went to the templates folder forumlist_body.html and at the very top of that file before anything else i put this

Code: Select all

<!-- switch for adult group members only, this will not display for non members -->
<!-- IF S_GROUP_8 -->Welcome back Afterdark Group Member. You may access the Afterdark Forum <a href="http://forum.xxxxxx.com/viewforum.php?f=29">Here</a>
<!-- ENDIF -->

then refresh your template from the acp... at the top of your forum list on the main page you will see that switch display if you are a member ... the way it works is that the message only displayes if in fact you are a member of that group.. everyone else just sees nothing there.

the address of course i got from just coping the url from the browser..

hope that helps someone.. thanks

Hi -- I am using the User Defined Permissions as shown in the early posts.

I set it up on a test board and it works fine.

I set it up on another board and I get the following warning:

Code: Select all

[phpBB Debug] PHP Notice: in file /includes/functions.php on line 4509: Invalid argument supplied for foreach()

where line 4509 is:

foreach ($groups as $grouprec)

my whole block of added code is:

Code: Select all

//-- Custom Security by Groups
	if ( !function_exists('group_memberships') )
    {
        include($phpbb_root_path . 'includes/functions_user.'.$phpEx);
    }
    $groups = group_memberships(false,$user->data['user_id']);
    foreach ($groups as $grouprec)
    {
    $template->assign_vars(array('S_GROUP_' . $grouprec['group_id'] => true));
    }

Since this seems to work on one data set but not another, I am suspecting that there is something unexpected in the db.

The S_GROUP_N values appear to be working OK, I am just throwing off this message.

Any ideas??

TIA

[Brf]

That means that the user does not belong to any groups.

[cprgolds]

Thank you ever so much Brf... You were spot on.

It was my "Guest" User that was not present in the phpbb_user_group table.

For anyone else who runs into this, this SQL Query will find the culprit(s):

Code: Select all

SELECT phpbb_users.* FROM phpbb_users LEFT JOIN phpbb_user_group ON phpbb_users.user_id = phpbb_user_group.user_id WHERE phpbb_user_group.user_id IS NULL

Hello

Code: Select all

<!-- IF S_GROUP_N -->some stuff here<!-- ENDIF -->

I have a question: Is there a way to use couple of group premissions in one IF S_GROUP line?

Hello

Code: Select all

<!-- IF S_GROUP_N -->some stuff here<!-- ENDIF --> 

I have a question: Is there a way to use couple of group premissions in one IF S_GROUP line?

Code: Select all

<!-- IF S_GROUP_X and S_GROUP_Y -->some stuff here<!-- ENDIF --> 

X and Y being group IDs of different groups.

Note: This shows "some stuff here" only if the user belngs to both X and Y groups. If you want to display "some stuff here" to users belnging to any of the groups, use this :

Code: Select all

<!-- IF S_GROUP_X || S_GROUP_Y -->some stuff here<!-- ENDIF --> 

[BuryGnome]

So If i'm getting this right. I can use:

Code: Select all

<!-- IF S_GROUP_X || S_GROUP_Y -->some stuff here<!-- ENDIF --> 

and expand this line with || to more and more groups?

Yes.

stevemaury wrote in this topic a tip to be able to use switches like <!-- IF S_GROUP_N --> and it did its job in posting_editor.html but when I am trying to use it in posting.php i cant make it work

i have a code like this $messagetemp .= ($boardlink1 && ($boardlink1 != 'http://')) ? "[spo_o]3445345[/spo_o][b]" . $u5 . "[/b] [url]" . $boardlink1 . "[/url][spo_cl]4564564[/spo_cl]\n" : '';

This bbcode: [spo_o]3445345[/spo_o] gives this html: <!-- IF S_GROUP_4 or S_GROUP_5 or S_GROUP_7 or S_GROUP_8 -->

and this one: [spo_cl]4564564[/spo_cl] gives: <!-- ENDIF -->

I suppose that a browser reads bbcode after reading groups IDs but I don't know how to make it right

[Brf]

Bbcodes are used in messages and template switches are used in templates. How would one "give" the other?
Neither are read by your webbrowser.

[Shturmfogell]

ok, so i understand that bbcode will not work in that moment but i really need to hide it somehow and writing new server-side working bbcode is not in my best

[Brf]

You are in the wrong topic. This topic is about hiding content in a template. You are trying to hide content in a post, which is a completely different thing.

[amplifiedshock]

I tried the above code and it works great, but:

It doesn't seem to work if a particular group is not set as the user's default. Any workaround?


i.e. <!-- IF not S_GROUP_5 -->some stuff here<!-- ENDIF -->
The user is in group id 3 and 5, however, their default is 3, so the above message still displays.

[Brf]

You are using the wrong code. The code that uses group_memberships() does not look at the user's default group.
