Retrieving User Group ID

[shockuk]

Hi all,

Just a quick question -

Currently developing a (my first) mod for SMF. I retrieve the currently logged on user's name using $context['user']['name']

Does anyone know how I would retrieve the ID of which group this user is in?

Thanks very much,
Shockuk.

Primary group or secondary groups?

[shockuk]

Primary

[Arantor]

$context['user']['groups'] should be an array holding them all, $context['user']['groups'][0] should be their primary group.

Ah doesn't seem to work matey (there's nothing set in that array).

Maybe I should've mentioned that i'm calling SMF from another script using SSI.php

[Arantor]

I thought it moved it into $context (which it does in other situations)

$user_info['groups'] instead then.

Works like a charm!

Thanks very much

Good to know that sorted it. I'll mark this one solved for now.
