How much work would you need to do so you could add this kind of permissions in a template to the ACP permissions tab like so many of the excellent mods do for us when installed and run witht he umil files!

Thanks

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.

Code: Select all

<!-- IF not (S_GROUP_5 || S_GROUP_8) -->some stuff here<!-- ENDIF -->

Another member said that it only works witht the brackets in place?

Is this true or is the below code correct please!

Code: Select all

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

Thanks ~ Robert

The parens are required because of the "not". It specifies that the not applies to the "or", not to the first condition alone.

[RMcGirr83]

also for "true"

Code: Select all

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

as well as

Code: Select all

<!-- IF (S_GROUP_X or S_GROUP_Y) -->some stuff here<!-- ENDIF -->

[Brf]

The parens are not required if you do not have the "not", as you can see from this code in prosilver's posting_editor.html:

Code: Select all

		<!-- IF S_EDIT_DRAFT || S_DISPLAY_REVIEW -->

[RMcGirr83]

Well yeah, it's a habit of mine to surround in parens.

Yes I see now, thank you so much for running through all the examples above

So its a much more safe way to work if you use parens when not needed rather than miss them out/off when required in a template HTML code? I don't mean pop parens in all areas as you go, only as shown in the examples raised above by Brf.

I tried this, and it seems to work, but I'm getting errors at the top of the page as follows:

Code: Select all

[phpBB Debug] PHP Notice: in file /includes/functions.php on line 4518: Cannot modify header information - headers already sent by (output started at /material.php:1)
[phpBB Debug] PHP Notice: in file /includes/functions.php on line 4520: Cannot modify header information - headers already sent by (output started at /material.php:1)

[phpBB Debug] PHP Notice: in file /includes/functions.php on line 4522: Cannot modify header information - headers already sent by (output started at /material.php:1)

I'm really not very good with phpbb, what did I do wrong? The code for material.php is as follows:

Code: Select all

    <?php
    define('IN_PHPBB', true);
    $phpbb_root_path = (defined('PHPBB_ROOT_PATH')) ? PHPBB_ROOT_PATH : './';
    $phpEx = substr(strrchr(__FILE__, '.'), 1);
    include($phpbb_root_path . 'common.' . $phpEx);

    // Start session management
    $user->session_begin();
    $auth->acl($user->data);
    $user->setup();

    // $ptmc_member  = group_memberships(8,$user->data['user_id']);

    if (S_GROUP_8 || S_GROUP_5) {

    page_header('PTMC Material Database');

    $template->set_filenames(array(
        'body' => 'material_body.php',
    ));
    }

    else {

    page_header('Access Denied');

    print('Access Denied');

    $template->set_filenames(array(
    'body' => 'index_body.html',
    ));

    }

    make_jumpbox(append_sid("{$phpbb_root_path}viewforum.$phpEx"));
    page_footer();

More than likely you have a blank space at the beginning of your php file. I don't know what editor you are using to edit the files with, but you should be using a strict text editor like notepad++ to edit the files with.

[Brf]

You have four spaces before the<?php. That needs to start in the first column.
When you use Firefox to Select-All on a code block, it adds fours spaces at the beginning of each line.

[msgerbs]

Thanks. I was using normal wordpad to edit it.

Removing the spaces fixed the problem. Would notepad++ or similar automatically remove such mistakes?

[Oyabun1]

Notepad++ won't add extraneous characters to files.

It is usually recommended to have whatever text editor you are using set to encode files as UTF8 without BOM, some editors like Windows Notepad are not capable of doing that. Instead use Notepad++ or any of the editors recommended here, Text editors.

Sweet topic =)

I'm looking for almost the same thing as you've been discussing here. What I'm looking for is a if-statement that displays something on a users profile if that user belongs to a certain group, not depending on the groups that YOU belong to, but the groups that the user you are viewing belongs to.

ex:
UserA is viewing UserB's profile, and if UserB belongs to a certain group some text will be displayed on his profile.

Is this possible?
thanks

This mod was nearly what I was working for, but not quite. What I need is to know when a certain group ID is present in a topic row.

For example:

Code: Select all

<!-- IF topicrow.S_GROUP_8 -->{topicrow.TOPIC_AUTHOR_FULL}<img src="admin-img.gif" /><!-- ELSE -->{topicrow.TOPIC_AUTHOR_FULL}<!-- ENDIF -->

Any Ideas?
