show hidden users to a certain group

[SleePy]

how would i show the hidden users to a group? the group doesn't have global moderator. but most of them got moderator to 1 or 2 boards.
I have looked around display.template.php and i can't find nothing or when i look in the permissions thing for that group there is nothing telling me to allow this group to view hidden users.

Thanks.

I think you need to give the group the manage_members permission, although I'm not sure.

i thought i could some were in the BoardIndex.template.php i could add it in to allow them to view it.
i see the place were it shows the hidden users but i see no if statements on it that let admins and global mods see them.

BoardIndex.php

Code Select Expand

elseif (empty($row['showOnline']) && !allowedTo('moderate_forum'))I think if you modified that line so that it will only be true if empty($row[etc && !allowedTo(etc and not in the group you want to be able to view hidden members.

[SleePy]

yea i found that. how would i get it to only do it if they are in a group? or additional groups would this work?

Code Select Expand

elseif (empty($row['showOnline']) && !allowedTo('moderate_forum') && !$context['member']['group'] == '3')

i dont know how to find out what group the user is in or those additional groups.

You won't be able to test for group 3 (moderators).

But for other groups:

if (in_array(##, $GLOBALS['user_info'][groups']))

Where ## is the ID_GROUP of the group you're checking for - 4 is Newbie, 1 is Administrator, etc.

theres and error in tht i had to fix
$GLOBALS['user_info'][groups']
should be
$GLOBALS['user_info']['groups']

but it did not work... 

elseif (empty($row['showOnline']) && !allowedTo('moderate_forum') && $GLOBALS['user_info']['groups'] != '16')

Hmmm does $context['user_info']['groups'] work? That was an old post of [Unknown] so the code would have changed.
