ok, i need something that can check a group membership. Basicaly we will be using our forum for 2 guilds, one Horde and one Alliance (WoW). The alliance side is the main guild, and the Horde side is the secondary guild... however, some people belong to both. I need a way to check for groups. something along the lines of...
(The xx is supposed to be a command that checks to see if it includes)
<!-- IF postrow.GROUPS xx "Alliance" --> {Alliance_Img} <!-- ENDIF -->
<!-- IF postrow.GROUPS xx "Horde" --> {Horde_Img} <!-- ENDIF -->
So if user a belongs to Alliance, it will show the alliance image, but if user b belongs to both alliance and horde, it will show both...
Group Check
Re: Group Check
Simple answer (sorry)
Create a combined group - no permissions - just the rank image - make that thier primary group.
The permissions they will get from the other usergroups.

Re: Group Check
you have got to be kidding me? there isn't a way to check if they are a member of a group? As advanced as this system is, i am starting to realize, it is hardly advanced enough for my needs... curses!
Re: Group Check
I am not saying that it cannot be done.
I am saying a simple answer is to add a third usergroup - that requires no code changes.

Re: Group Check

You'll have to look through the postrow variables in viewtopic.php to see what they have available for groups.

Re: Group Check
If you are trying to control what the user sees by what group affiliation that user has, -- similar to how the MCP and ACP links work... you are going about it the wrong way.
You’ll want to use a global <!-- IF S_GROUP_NAME eq "bla" -->show this<!-- ELSE -->show that<!-- ENDIF -->
Of course, S_GROUP_NAME is not a variable, so that’s not going to be possible without a MOD.
If you are wanting to display certain things in the user’s post_info, then you’ll use the postrow loop variable.
However, group names are not used in the viewtopic.
But there is a solution.
You can set a group rank for those groups, and everyone that has that group as default, you can use <!-- IF postrow.S_RANK_TITLE eq "bla" -->stuff<!-- ELSE -->different stuff<!-- ENDIF -->
That’s your best option without installing any MODs.
