Group id with group name

[Joker™]

Only for SMF 2x

I've seen a lot of people asking that how can we know id of a member group. It is shown in the url when someone is modifying a member group, but it's bit difficult to this out to everyone specially new users. Just make the below given modifications and your group id will be shown next to the group name in

Administration Center » Membergroups

There are 2 styles to achieve this modification

This code will give you the effect shown in Screen Shot 1

Open Sources\ManageMembergroups.php (Make backup if file before editing it)

Find:

Code Select Expand

// Since the moderator group has no explicit members, no link is needed.
if ($rowData[\'id_group\'] == 3)
$group_name = $rowData[\'group_name\'];
else
{
$color_style = empty($rowData[\'online_color\']) ? \'\' : sprintf(\' style="color: %1$s;"\', $rowData[\'online_color\']);
$group_name = sprintf(\'<a href="%1$s?action=admin;area=membergroups;sa=members;group=%2$d"%3$s>%4$s</a>\', $scripturl, $rowData[\'id_group\'], $color_style, $rowData[\'group_name\']);
}


Replace it with:

Code Select Expand

// Since the moderator group has no explicit members, no link is needed.
if ($rowData[\'id_group\'] == 3)
$group_name = $rowData[\'group_name\'] . \' (\' . $rowData[\'id_group\'] . \')\';
else
{
$color_style = empty($rowData[\'online_color\']) ? \'\' : sprintf(\' style="color: %1$s;"\', $rowData[\'online_color\']);
$group_name = sprintf(\'<a href="%1$s?action=admin;area=membergroups;sa=members;group=%2$d"%3$s>%4$s</a>\', $scripturl, $rowData[\'id_group\'], $color_style, $rowData[\'group_name\']) .  \' (\' . $rowData[\'id_group\'] . \')\';
}


Find:

Code Select Expand

$colorStyle = empty($rowData[\'online_color\']) ? \'\' : sprintf(\' style="color: %1$s;"\', $rowData[\'online_color\']);
return sprintf(\'<a href="%1$s?action=moderate;area=viewgroups;sa=members;group=%2$d"%3$s>%4$s</a>\', $scripturl, $rowData[\'id_group\'], $colorStyle, $rowData[\'group_name\']);


Replace it with:

Code Select Expand

$colorStyle = empty($rowData[\'online_color\']) ? \'\' : sprintf(\' style="color: %1$s;"\', $rowData[\'online_color\']);
return sprintf(\'<a href="%1$s?action=moderate;area=viewgroups;sa=members;group=%2$d"%3$s>%4$s</a>\', $scripturl, $rowData[\'id_group\'], $colorStyle, $rowData[\'group_name\']) . \' (\' . $rowData[\'id_group\'] . \')\';

Nice feature
Has this already been packaged into a modification?

[Matthew K.]

What would be cool...is if you made it another column rather than adding it to the name. Then you could also sort it. It would be fairly simple. I'll give you the edits if you'd like?

I haven't seen such modification yet.

I'll give it a shot, if I find some difficulty I'll surely ask you. Thanks for the suggestion.

As you already have somewhat of an understanding of how information is added/changed for that section, it should be fairly straight forward to figure out, although, feel free to shoot me a PM if you come up with any questions.

Done and code added above in 1st post.

P.S - I can't remove or attach any further screen shot in my above post.

Nice work!

[Joker™]

Thank you .

[Acans]

Very nice Joker

I'm thinking of modding this, as people might end up messing there forums while editing files. (Talking of new users). What do you guys say?

I say go for it. JBlaze recently started helping out with the mod que so hopefully it doesn't take to long.

Yup, saw a lot of mods approved yesterday. Will be submitting this as a mod by today only .

[Matthew K.]

If you don't submit it, you could at least write up the package and add it to this topic...just make sure you add that it's not an official mod or tested by the Customization Team.

[Yigal]

This would make a nice modification.  I think it'd be popular... I'd use it xP. 

[Joker™]

I've submitted the mod.

[Acans]

Installs fine

[Joker™]

Installs fine

Great to know, as I've not tested it properly .

[Acans]

lazy

That's ok, i made a T&T for lazy admins like you

[Joker™]

Yeah I remember your T&T, and as I said before it made me more lazy .

[Acans]

There was nothing lazy about making it tho. Switching between admin.php and subs.php got annoying after a while lol.
