XF 2.2 Conditional: thread creator is member of

[Old Nick]

Hello, i'm trying to set a conditional statement saying if thread creator is member of usegroup_X then...
Can't figure it out since yesterday afternoon !

<xf:if is="{$thread.user_id} ==  {$xf.visitor.user_id} AND {$thread.user_id}.isMemberOf(3)">
    ...
</xf:if>

Which template are you adding this to?

 

[Old Nick]

thread_list_macros

 

[Old Nick]

Can't use {{ dump(vars()) }} in this template, nothing appears, i tried forum_view but no value for thread creator is displayed.

 

[Paul B]

This should work:

<xf:if is="$thread.user_id ==  $xf.visitor.user_id && $xf.visitor.isMemberOf(3)">
    ...
</xf:if>

 

[Old Nick]

I tried this but if i'm not mistaken this code says : if the thread creator is the visitor and the visitor is member of 3 then... but i want to say if the thread creator is member of (3) then...

 

[Paul B]

The first part evaluates that the visitor is the thread creator, the second part evaluates if the visitor is in user group 3.

The result will only equate to true if both parts are met.

TLDR; the visitor must be the thread creator and in user group 3.

 

[Old Nick]

Yes I understand what you are explaining but what I want is when I am on the page of a forum it is to color the discussions which are created by usergroup_1 in blue and those of usergroup_2 in red and that it is visible regardless of the group to which the visitor who is browsing the page belongs and what I have tested and what you are suggesting to me means that the discussions created by usergroup_1 will only be colored in blue if the visitor who is browsing the page is from usergroup_1.

 

[Old Nick]

But maybe it's not feasible only with conditions.

 

[Paul B]

Then the conditional statement you posted in the first post does not do that - I simply corrected it.

Edit the template and use inline CSS, vars, or some other method to apply styling to the post based on the poster user group ID.

See the example in my resource here which changes the conversation message colour for the user: https://xenforo.com/community/resources/whatsxfessenger.8317/

 

[Old Nick]

Thank you, I will study your resource more closely.
I'm trying to reproduce this for XF2: https://xenforo.com/community/resources/different-thread-color-based-on-thread-starters-group.2259/

 

[Paul B]

This is the key part: {xen:if {$thread.user_post_count}, ' memberPrticipatedThread'} {xen:if '{xen:helper ismemberof, $thread, XXX}', ' staffThreads'} {xen:if '{xen:helper ismemberof, $thread, YYY}', ' VIPThreads'}" .

The evaluation is inline with a CSS class applied.

My resource does something very similar using XF2 syntax: {{ $message.user_id == $xf.visitor.user_id ? 'ctaConversationMessageSelf' : 'ctaConversationMessageOther' }} .

I'm back on this...

I wrote this

<div class="structItem-cell structItem-cell--icon {{ $thread.user_id.isMemberOf($xf.options.userGroupID1) ? 'border-orange' : '' }}">

Get this

• Template public:thread_list_macros: [E_USER_WARNING] Cannot call method isMemberOf on a non-object (integer) (src\XF\Template\Templater.php:1177)

So i wrote like this

<div class="structItem-cell structItem-cell--icon {{ {$thread.user_id}.isMemberOf($xf.options.userGroupID1) ? 'border-orange' : '' }}">

But i get this

• Template public:thread_list_macros: [E_USER_WARNING] Function ismemberof is unknown (src\XF\Template\Templater.php:1107)

Any help will be appreciated !
Thanks !

$thread.User.isMemberOf($xf.options.userGroupID1) should work.

 

[Old Nick]

thank you very much @Finexes it works, no more error with your syntax.
It works as i planned now.
