Want to add is_foo in $context['user']

[nax_hh]

well guys I'm using SSI.php to make a bride with my website and my SMF forum i using RC 2.0 and i don't have troubles with the log in, and using $context['user']['is_admin'] and $context['user']['is_guest'].

But now i want to add something like: $context['user']['is_organizer'] or thinks like this to give different kind of permissions to some users.

So i started to follow the $context['user] and i found $user_info[] and $user_settings in load.php.
But i don't know where can i add an is_XXX to the arrays or in which db table i need to add information.

any kind of help?

special thanks for your support

There is a context already made,

Code Select Expand

if ($context['user']['is_logged'] && ['user']['group_id'] == 2){ echo 'content';}

But, it only works for Global Mods as far as I know, so you'd have to set up your own context for anything further than that.

I am pretty sure you'd want to use

Code Select Expand

(allowedTo ('permission') )

['user']['group_id'] is not in array $context

Code Select Expand

id => 3
is_logged => 1
is_guest =>
is_admin =>
is_mod =>
can_mod =>
username => naxx
language => english
email => [email protected]
ignoreusers => Array
name => naxx
smiley_set => default
messages => 0
unread_messages => 0
popup_messages =>
avatar => Array
total_time_logged_in => Array

by the way i want to give 3 or 5 different kind of permissions..

for example one user have the right to add news in a webpage.
other user can moderate the comments from one city
and other user moderate the comments from other city,...

so i need a different group and then maybe make some subgroups.

I am pretty sure you'd want to use

Code Select Expand

(allowedTo ('permission') )

can you explain me that? i think i can use it.

First of all, I am fairly sure ['group_id'] is a working context, I have used it, or something similar. (May be 1.1.)

Please refer to SMF's explanation for allowedTo by clicking here

i'm using this script to test all these things

Code Select Expand

<?php
require_once("../smf/SSI.php");

function logued() {
global $context;


$_SESSION['login_url'] = 'http://localhost' . $_SERVER['PHP_SELF'];
$_SESSION['logout_url'] = 'http://localhost' . $_SERVER['PHP_SELF'];

if ($context['user']['is_guest'])
{
ssi_login();
}else if ($context['user']['is_logged'] && $context['user']['group_id'] == 4)
{
echo 'eres del grupo ORG';
}else
{
foreach ($context['user'] as $user => $data)
{
echo $user.' => '.$data.'<br />';
}
ssi_logout();
}
}

logued();
?>

and it don't show group_id.

i'm going to see allowedTo, thanks

As I stated in my post the context

Code Select Expand

if ($context['user']['is_logged'] && ['user']['group_id'] == 2) { echo ' content'; } will ONLY work for the first to usergroups, Admin and Global Mod, I'm sure you could add more though.

(So that's why it didn't work, you put == 4))

Also, remember user and member are whole different contexts, user is the person viewing the page, member is used for posts, profiles and other information about a member.

4 is the id of a test group called ORG.

all i want is add some groups like is_admin is_logged, in other words is_custom.

So with it i can give acces to a "custom admin" site por his is_custom rank.

well finally i can make something but it is not really i want at all...

Code Select Expand

}else if ($context['user']['is_logged'] && in_array(4, $user_info['groups']))

using user_info maybe i can do something.

really thanks

if i have more troubles i post it.

OK, let's take a step back.

What is is_foo? What determines it? Should it be a permission? Should it be multiple permissions?

[nax_hh]

well i'm really bad at english but i try to explain it.

I have 2 pages.

the first is a news page. Only some people and admins can put news and update it.

then i have other page with:

state 1 (4 example)
  city 1
  city 2
state 2
city 3
city 4

only one user from state 1 can admin the state 1 "site" (and admins of course), he can add more people from the city 1 or city 2 can allow users from city 1 to admin city 1 or acces it, and the same to state 2.

And a user of city one can give acces to common users from city 1 to these area the same with other city's

i thing is_foo is the best way to do it, or groups.

[Arantor]

How do you determine that a user is in state 1 or state 2?

[nax_hh]

when he registered whe ask him from he is (in this web all people knows us so we went to trust they)

and i thinking to make a second table in DB to put this kind of information about the user.

so i think i need to add lines in the load.php to make a query and know where is he from and what is allowed to do (the last, i think i can made with smf_groupsmembers) but the state and city i think i need other table)

[Arantor]

You could use custom profile fields for storing that, though, which changes the game again.

[nax_hh]

ok i take a look to these mod.

at the moment i have all doubts solved.

thanks sir

Custom Profile Fields isn't a mod in 2.0; it's built in.
