Topic: Adding group requests to ?

[ianus]

 Greetings! 

I think, this might be the best board to ask, but the description may be a little bit complicated. 
Actually I?m running a SMF 1.1.4 with an installed TP. Obviously I have to update and like to switch to SP.
(This decision isn?t because of pros & cons of one/or the other portal!) 

Question Intro:
I used to have a custom menu directly under the header-logo. The necessary changes to the SMF index.template (call the .js files for the menu, ?) are made already. 

The menu itself is stored in a separate .php file and the include (menufile) is also done in the index.template.  Until this point, everything is fine.
You can see an working example at a temporary testboard (SP already running): http://www.resmedia.info/forum/index.php   

Question Intro Part 2:
Inside of the menufile I use some request to make sure that some links are shown only to some usergroups.  If you have a look at the menu, you will see the word ?Gruppen?. If a member of a special group is logged in, he will see some more links. If a admin is logged in, he will see an additional link.  Additionally I display links to the login / register page. If a user is logged in, it will show links to the profil page, unred topic, etc instead. 

If you want to see how this is working: (The actual TP page) http://www.firopolis.de/forum/index.php (use testuser as name an pass)

Question Outro: As you can see, the menu is working in general, but it seems that some functions need some additional entries if I want to use them with SP. 

The codepart A: 
At the very top of the menu I have this:

Code: [Select]

global $context, $settings, $options, $txt, $user_info, $scripturl, $modSettings, $memberContext; 
This is the part which should show the login / register links and switch to the user (admin) menu if someone is logged:

Code: [Select]

//Display this menu entry only if user is logged in and point to "Bewohner" Menu below
if ($context['user']['is_logged'])
{echo'
<li><a  rel="Bewohner"> ', $txt['hello_member_ndt'], ' ', $context['user']['name'] , '</a></li>
';
}
//else display links to login / register
else
echo'
<li><a href="http://www.resmedia.info/forum/index.php?action=login">Einloggen</a></li>
<li><a style="color: rgb(204, 0, 0) "text-decoration:blink" ;"href="http://www.resmedia.info/forum/index.php?action=register">Bewohner werden</a></li>
';
//Display this menu entry only if user is admin
if ($context['user']['is_admin'])
{
echo'
<li><a href="http://www.resmedia.info/forum/index.php?action=admin">Admin</a></li>
';
}
 
For some reason I?m able to log in, but after that the menu isn?t changing the display. 

Question A: Ideas to resolve this? 

The codepart B: This link should show an drop-down if a user is member of a special group. 

Code: [Select]

<!--Top Drop Down SG-M -->
<ul id="Gruppen" class="ddsubmenustyle">
';
/* SG-M Start */
      $allowed_groups = array(1, 11);
      $can_see = FALSE;
      foreach ($allowed_groups as $allowed)
  (233)   if (in_array($allowed, $user_info['groups']))
         {
            $can_see = TRUE;
            break;
         }
         
      if ($can_see)
      {
         echo '
<li><a href="http://www.resmedia.info/forum/index.php/?">SG-M</a>
<ul>
<li><a href="http://www.resmedia.info/forum/index.php/?">Ratsversammlung</a></li>
<li><a href="http://www.resmedia.info/forum/index.php/?">Ginnungagap & Juliateilchen</a></li>
<li><a href="http://www.resmedia.info/forum/index.php/?">Taverna</a></li>
</ul>
</li>
';
      }
      else
      {
         //message or section to show if they are not allowed.
         echo '
<li> <a >Keine Gruppenzugehörigkeit</a></li>
';
      }
/* SG-M Ende */
';
</ul>


(I have deleted the links, because I want to keep them private) I have added the (233) only in this example, to make clear which row the error message is pointing to. 

Question B: What is the error in this code?     

Hopefully I have explained clear enough and maybe somebody can give me a hint on how to fix the code. Thanks in advance.


(edit: damm I hate this WYSIWYG thing)

Where do you add "The codepart B:" codes? Are you sure that the function, you add this in has the $user_info variable in globals?

[ianus]

Greetings and thanks for your reply!

The Codepart B is also in the menu.php file.

I think, it's easier to understand if you can see the whole code.

Code: [Select]

global $context, $settings, $options, $txt, $user_info, $scripturl, $modSettings, $memberContext;
echo'
<!-- First Links @ Top Menu -->
<div id="ddtopmenubar" class="solidblockmenu">
<ul>
<li><a href="http://www.firopolis.de/forum/index.php">Portal</a></li>
<li><a href="http://www.firopolis.de/forum/index.php?action=forum" rel="Foren">Foren</a></li>
<li><a rel="Gruppen">Gruppen</a></li>
';
// Login / Register links or the user drop down
if ($context['user']['is_logged'])
{
echo'
<li><a  rel="Bewohner"> ', $txt['hello_member_ndt'], ' ', $context['user']['name'] , '</a></li>
';
}
else
{
echo'
<li><a href="http://www.firopolis.de/forum/index.php?action=login">Einloggen</a></li>
<li><a style="color: rgb(204, 0, 0)" ;"href="http://www.firopolis.de/forum/index.php?action=register">Bewohner werden</a></li>
';
}
if ($context['user']['is_admin'])
{
echo'
<li><a href="http://www.firopolis.de/forum/index.php?action=admin">Admin</a></li>
';
}

/* More Top-Links if necessary*/
echo'
<!-- <li><a >Link Name</a></li>-->
<!-- <li><a  rel="Name 5">Link Name</a></li>-->
</ul>
</div>

// This is where the Drop downs for the Top Menu links are written
// Simple <li> </li> s

<!-- Drop down for the Portal Top-->
//no need for it

<!-- Drop down for the Foren Top-->
<ul id="Foren" class="ddsubmenustyle">

</ul>

<!--Drop down for the Groups-->
<ul id="Gruppen" class="ddsubmenustyle">

/* SG-M Start */
      $allowed_groups = array(1, 11);
      $can_see = FALSE;
      foreach ($allowed_groups as $allowed)
         if (in_array($allowed, $user_info['groups']))
         {
            $can_see = TRUE;
            break;
         }
         
      if ($can_see)
      {
         echo '

</ul>
</li>
';
      }
      else
      {
         //message or section to show if they are not allowed.
         echo '
<li> <a >Keine Gruppenzugehörigkeit</a></li>

      }
/* SG-M Ende */
';
</ul>

';
/*echo'

/*echo'

I have deleted most of the links to keep this short.
The necessary js files are called in the index.template itself.

[[SiNaN]]

It should be working. At least, it shouldn't be giving any errors, unless something is modifying $user_info['groups']. Would make this change and copy here what you see:

Code: (Find) [Select]

echo'
<!-- First Links @ Top Menu -->

Code: (Replace) [Select]

var_dump($user_info['groups']);
echo'
<!-- First Links @ Top Menu -->

[ianus]

Hello!

As mentioned, it is working (SMF +TP)
http://www.firopolis.de/forum/index.php

For the switch to SP, I try the "old" code to make sure that it is working under the new Portal also.

I have replaced the line you have send me and thr result is
"NULL"
Here it is: http://www.resmedia.info/forum/index.php

Mmh, at least interesting.

[[SiNaN]]

Well, there seems to be something that un-sets the $user_info['groups'] index. Do you have any other custom codes like this?

[ianus]

Not in this enviroment.
I don't use any custom block-codes.
I have only deleted some parts of the SMF header code in the index.template and changed some colors in the css file.

At the moment I have put in the template_menu(); into the index.template again and the links to the admin menu is shown.

I think, I will run a new setup of SMF and SP again.

It is possible that the navigation folder must be under
domain/SMF/navigation/portalmenu.php
and not under
domain/navigation/portalmenu.php
?

[[SiNaN]]

If the directory was not correct, you wouldn't have seen anything at all. However, what do you have in that file? All the codes you posted above? Or do you include it in somewhere?

[ianus]

In the index.template I call the CSS and js files.

Code: [Select]

<!-- Hole Menu css -->
<link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" href="http://www.resmedia.info/navigation/ddlevelsfiles/ddlevelsmenu-base.css" />
<link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" href="http://www.resmedia.info/navigation/ddlevelsfiles/ddlevelsmenu-topbar.css" />
<link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" href="http://www.resmedia.info/navigation/ddlevelsfiles/ddlevelsmenu-sidebar.css" />
<!-- Hole Menu js -->
<script type="text/javascript" src="http://www.resmedia.info/navigation/ddlevelsfiles/ddlevelsmenu.js">

/***********************************************
* All Levels Navigational Menu- (c) Dynamic Drive DHTML code library (http://www.dynamicdrive.com)
* This notice MUST stay intact for legal use

***********************************************/

</script>
<script type="text/javascript">
ddlevelsmenu.setup("ddtopmenubar", "topbar") //ddlevelsmenu.setup("mainmenuid", "topbar|sidebar")
</script>

</head>
And include the navigation file some rows later

Code: [Select]

<body>
<div id="addbackground"/>
<div id="borderartone"/>
<div id="borderarttwo"/>';
echo '
<div class="tborder" ', $context['browser']['needs_size_fix'] && !$context['browser']['is_ie6'] ? ' style="width: 100%;"' : '', '>
<table width="100%" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" border="0">
<tr>
<td class="" height="32">';

/*if (empty($settings['header_logo_url']))
echo '
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: 140%; ">', $context['forum_name'], '</span>';
else*/
echo '
<img src="', $settings['images_url'], '/LogoVersion50.png" width="600" style="float: left;" alt="" />';

/*echo '
</td>
<td align="right" class="catbg">
<img src="', $settings['images_url'], '/smflogo.gif" style="margin: 2px;" alt="" />
</td>
</tr>
</table>';*/
echo '
</tr><tr> </td>
<td align="left" valign="center" class="catbg">
'; include ("http://www.resmedia.info/navigation/portal_top.php"); echo'
</td>
</tr>
</table>';


/* // display user name
That it.
Everything else is in the menu file (the code I have posted above).

[[SiNaN]]

Instead of URL here:

include ("http://www.resmedia.info/navigation/portal_top.php");

You should use the directory, something like this:

include ("home/www/navigation/portal_top.php");

Also, I think you should include SSI.php in your portal_top.php file. Otherwise, you won't have SMF variables in that file.

[ianus]

Very interesting.

The different include (path) solves the problem.
For a php moron like me, this is a miracle but know I have learned something that will be helpfull for other include (things).

I have to send you a very big "Thank You!" for your time and kind helpfulness. It's really appreciated.
