Usergroup conditionals

[Matthew Hawley]

Are there any conditionals so I can view a certain user group?

What do you mean "view a certain user group"?

If you're talking about hiding/showing content to specific usergroups, you can do this:

<xen:if is="{xen:helper ismemberof, $visitor, 999}">
      Visitor is member of usergroup ID 999
</xen:if>

No, I want to show a staff list sorted by user groups. So I need conditionals to show the user groups.

That's not quite what you asked for, but ok.

It will save you a lot of time and frustration if you just explain in advance what you're wanting to do in detail.

Using the Notable Members list as an example, the template has this:

                <xen:foreach loop="$staff" value="$user">
                    <li><xen:avatar user="$user" size="s" text="{$user.username}" class="Tooltip" title="{$user.username}" /></li>
                </xen:foreach>

So you could copy that several times and add a very similar conditional to what I used above for each usergroup you want to show:

               <div class="staffHeader">Moderating Staff</div>
                <xen:foreach loop="$staff" value="$user">
                   <xen:if is="{xen:helper ismemberof, $user, 4}">
                        <li><xen:avatar user="$user" size="s" text="{$user.username}" class="Tooltip" title="{$user.username}" /></li>
                   </xen:if>
                </xen:foreach>

So, something like that.

How would I add this just to the staff page on notable members?

 

[Chris D]

In the member_notable template, find this:

                <xen:foreach loop="$staff" value="$user">
                    <li><xen:avatar user="$user" size="s" text="{$user.username}" class="Tooltip" title="{$user.username}" /></li>
                </xen:foreach>

Modify as appropriate.
