XF 2.0 Create a MYSQL table for user groups

[mn0392]

Hey,

I have set up a user group called "Staff" see below



Does anyone know how to create and link this to mysql, so i can see and view everyone who is in this group via phpmyadmin?
I can see it does it for the default groups automatically



The reason why I need this, i so that I can create a script that allows users in to the back end of my website, the staff area. unrelated to xf2. A website developer who helped me is no longer active and so I can't ask them for help. I hope you guys can.

He got it working for the Admin group with this code:

$has_access = False;
if ($visitor['user_id']) {
if ($visitor['is_admin'] == 1) {
$has_access = True;
}
}

This info is being pulled from the mysql db. (That's why I need to create a table with the staff group and link it to mysql)

I want to make it so that anyone who is in the staff group can access the back end.


Please can someone help me?


Thank you!

I haven't checked the code but if the XF accounts are set as staff, you may be able to replace is_admin with is_staff.
