Simple Machines Community Forum

Hi there,

In my forum, i would like to create a simple hello message on top for my users, i.e.,

   Hello xxxxx you have xx messages

What i would like to know is what to do in order to correctly aplly the user_group color to my xxxxxx name.

I've read http://www.simplemachines.org/community/index.php?topic=19891.0, but is not what i want, not in all the forum, just in this simple line.

Mi code is


if ($context['user']['is_logged'])

echo '<br><br><table border="0" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" style="border-collapse: collapse" bordercolor="#111111" width="100%" id="AutoNumber1" height="50">
  <tr>
    <td width="30%" height="50">
        <p align="right">
<a target="_blank" href="http://www.google.com">
        <img border="0" src="/images_foro/busca_1.gif"></a>
    </td>
    <td width="40%" height="50"><p align="center">'
       ,$txt['zapping0'], '<b><color=" ' , => COLOR <= , '">',$context['user']['name'], '<font color="#000000"></b>, ',$txt['zapping1'], ' <b><a href="', $scripturl, '?action=pm">', $context['user']['messages'], ' ', $txt['zapping2'], '</a></b>, <b>', $context['user']['unread_messages'], '</b>' , $txt['zapping3'], '<br><br>Clique <b><a href="', $scripturl, '?action=unread;all">', 'aqui</a></b> para ler as mensagens novas no forum
    </td>
    <td width="30%" height="50">
<p align="left">
<a target="_blank" href="http://copacabana.dlsi.ua.es/es/text.php">
        <img border="0" src="/images_foro/tradutor_1.gif"></a>
    </td>
  </tr>
</table>';


The part => COLOR <= is where the color should be, but no ideas.

Thank's in advance

Ok, since no replys, here goes,

Is there in the $context variables, anything related to the group of the user ?

Something like $context['user']['usergroup'] ?

If so, my problem is solved, just a simple it elseif solution with all the groupcolors inside.

Thank's in advance,

KK

$context['user']['post_group_color'] or $context['user']['group_color'], depending on which one you want to use.

Thank's for the reply,

So it is suposed that if i do the following


Hello <b><color=" ' , $context['user']['group_color'],  '">',$context['user']['name']<font color="#000000"></b>


Beeing a Administrator should give this Hello KillerKraft

But i doesn't. It gives the regular black color.

Any ideas ?

I did find the group_colors variable, but only in $ThemeUser, but no way to use it on index. Do i have any other way in order to save the value to a new variable, make it global and use it as i need ?

KK

Of course i can use a new database search but wath could happen is that all the forum goes slow.

KK

You can use $context['user']['is_admin'].

Finding the group they're in is easy, finding the color involves a query.

Thank's [Unknown],

Now the question is, $context['user']['is_admin'] gives a bolean result or the real value of the group ?

Of course, if i find the group, the colors would be easy, just a simple if...elseif case.

Always grateful,

KK

P.S. - I am learning at a fast speed

is_admin gives a boolean result.

[Unknown] - why exactly doesn't $context['user']['group_color'] or $context['user']['post_group_color'] work? It should be loaded in Load.php just like all the other user stuff...

Because it would be wasteful to load all that information from the membergroups table every page view.

$context['user']['groups'][0] is the primary group...
