Title: Enhancing Forum Staff block
Post by: noelleon69 on May 28, 2009, 03:08:47 PM

Currently the forum staff block only shows the admins and moderators.

I would like to have a block customised to show additional member groups. In my case I want a block to show the admins as well as the committee members so members know who are the people involved in my club.

How can I do this? Could anyone tell me the code and which type of custom block to use (bbc, php or html?)?

Hmmm..

Open SPortal.php

Find:

Code: [Select]

$all_staff = array_unique($all_staff);
Replace with;

Code: [Select]

$all_staff = array_unique($all_staff);

foreach (array(#, #, #, #) as $new_group)
$all_staff[] = $new_group;
And replace each # with a new group ID.

You meant SPortal1-1.php in the sources folder right?

It gives me this error after doing the edit:

Parse error: syntax error, unexpected ';', expecting ')' in .../forum/Sources/SPortal1-1.php

Try this out.

Make sure to define each group into the array on line 2431.

It is calling the member ID instead of the group ID. For example if I enter 9, instead of listing all members in member group #9, it only shows a single member whose member ID is 9.

Well, if you ever want to add single members, use the code I gave. xD

Yes that code would be perfect for that requirement :)
