XF 1.2 Online Staff List

[JpA]

How do I make it so if I set someone as a certain group and they are on the website how do I make it so their name shows up on the "Staff online now" list. Please help

In template sidebar_online_users find:

                        <xen:if is="{$user.is_staff}">

Replace with:

                        <xen:if is="{$user.is_staff} OR {xen:helper ismemberof, $user, 2}">

Change 2 (in red) to be the ID of whatever user group you'd like to display.

If i use the first set of code do I not change anything?

 

[JpA]

Oh shoot I just noticed I was running XenForo 1.1.5...

 

[Jeremy]

Since you are on 1.1.5, in the same template find:

                        <xen:if is="{$user.is_moderator} OR {$user.is_admin}">

Replace with:

                        <xen:if is="{$user.is_moderator} OR {$user.is_admin} OR {xen:helper ismemberof, $user, 2}">

Still change the number to suit your needs.

Its a find and replace.

I got to appearance then templates right?

 

[Jeremy]

ACP -> Appearance -> (Style you want to modify) -> Templates -> sidebar_online_users (use the search in the top right of the table)

okay then what do I replace the 2 with? (color red)

 

[Jeremy]

A user group ID. Go to:
ACP -> Users -> User Groups -> (Group you want to show up in staff online)

The URL will include the ID. An example (with ID highlighted) is:
user-groups/moderating.4/edit

Replace 2 with that ID.

Okay can I keep adding OR with that same line of code but a diffrent number?

 

[Jeremy]

Yes. Or:

{xen:helper ismemberof, $user, 2, 3, 4}

(this is my recommended way)

 

[JpA]

Ah okay thank you

In 1.2 members can be set as staff via a checkbox on their profile in the ACP.

I would use 1.2 but the theme that I want isn't updated for 1.2

If it's not compatible, you can make it compatible for 1.2 yourself if you know how styles work.

I have no idea how styles work

I am doing this, however for some users they only see the additional user group when they log out... If they log in that group is not shown. What am I missing?
