Membergroups

[Hathor]

I'll revive this thread. Using 2.0.9, i can't get custon usergroups to show (non-postcount based). I added a group for banned members, and it just wont show up.

Topic split - Iris.

[Illori]

is the group set as visible in the drop down for visibility?

[Hathor]

It has been set for visiblity
It has a colour code
Show group key is enabled through acp
admin / mod /  chat op are visible

[Kindred]

and -- is the membergroup assigned to the user as a PRIMARY membergroup?

The system only shows the primary membergroup and post-count group.  secondary membergroups are not displayed

[Hathor]

I'm really not sure what you mean, Kindred, but if i'd take a guess..

I created a test account and added it to the group as primary usergroup. Still no show on index. I created a chat operator group, and it automatically showed up on the index.

they are talking about the group key on the board index in the info center. you can set any group to show there but the post count groups.

can you take a screenshot of the group config and post it so we can look at it?

I have found that you have to be logged in for the group to show, if the user is banned then no-one from that group would be online as they are banned, so it wont show.

[Kindred]

ah. good catch Runic.

[Hathor]

I have found that you have to be logged in for the group to show, if the user is banned then no-one from that group would be online as they are banned, so it wont show.

Perhaps, but it doesnt apply here. I created the account "test" and set banned as default usergroup (not really banned). Refuses to show on index

[Deaks]

and was the user logged in?

[Illori]

i have never seen that happen. even if no one is online the group key should always show the same list of groups.

[Kindred]

Actually, on several themes, I have seen that and runic is correct. it only displays the legend for groups with actively logged in users

[Illori]

that makes no sense as the theme should never query the database to see who is online and what group they are in. if you look at the key here all the groups show up that should even if no one is online in that group.

[Deaks]

also does it on default theme.  I have always wondered why it doesnt here when it does elsewhere we shall add it to the unexplained things of SMF, I cant remember any mods on here that may effect it, so may be one of the few things that is custom coded.  And Illori it happens on many themes even with ones that dont include their on BoardIndex.template.php so it uses default.

[Illori]

there does seem to be a mod installed here related to the group key, as some when clicked on redirect to the team page and not the group listing.

i just tested and i cant seem to quickly find out why 1 group is showing and another is not on my test board when the group config is the same. one not showing up has users in the group where the one showing has no members.

[Deaks]

memory is correct its custom coded here, issue is then it kinda invalidates what you said with

if you look at the key here all the groups show up that should even if no one is online in that group.

Dont you love me

Code Select Expand

$request = $smcFunc['db_query']('', '
SELECT id_group, group_name, online_color
FROM {db_prefix}membergroups
WHERE min_posts = {int:min_posts}
AND hidden = {int:not_hidden}
AND id_group != {int:mod_group}
AND online_color != {string:blank_string}
ORDER BY group_name',
array(
'min_posts' => -1,
'not_hidden' => 0,
'mod_group' => 3,
'blank_string' => '',
)
);

if the group has no color defined it will not show up in the group key.

[Hathor]

and was the user logged in?

I was logged in as test, yes
