hide members in a group

Author: **manish at gmail** » Wed Jun 20, 2007 12:26 am

I am using Inegramod 1.4.0 on PHPBB 2.0.17
(I know I must upgrade, but I don't want to disturb my set-up, if it's not very important.)

I would like to create groups, where people can join, or be added.
But I don't want the people who have been added, to see the other members in that group.

Basically, then I would be able to add people (or even auto-join) into groups, where, the identity of the other members in the same group can be kept private.

Has anybody tried that before?

I searched the forums for "hide members in a group" but the results weren't encouraging.

So could somebody please help me?

Thanks in advance

I guess you have to modify groupcp.php...

I don't know if it works on your version, but you can try this... which will disable users parsing for hidden groups where the user is not moderator...

FIND:

Code: Select all:       for($i = $start; $i <min>assign_block_vars('member_type', array(                    'L_TYPE' => ( $group_members[$i]['group_moderator'] ) ? $lang['Group_Moderator'] ],                    )                );                $color = false;            }            $last_member_type = $group_members[$i]['group_moderator'];            $color = !$color;            $row_class = ( $color ) ? $theme['td_class1'] : $theme['td_class2'];                        // set the row class             $template->assign_block_vars('member_type.member_row', array(                'ROW_CLASS' => $row_class,                'USER_ID' => $user_id,                 )            );                        @reset($user_maps['PHPBB.groupcp']['fields']);            preProcessUserConfig($group_members[$i]);            while (list($field_name, $field_data) = @each($user_maps['PHPBB.groupcp']['fields']) )            {                $val = pcp_output($field_name, $group_members[$i], 'PHPBB.groupcp');                if(!$val){                    $val = " ";                }                $template->assign_block_vars('member_type.member_row.member_fields', array(                            'FIELD' => $val,                            'WIDTH' => $width,                            )                        );               }                        if ($is_moderator)            {                if ( !$group_members[$i]['group_moderator'] || ($group_members[$i]['group_moderator'] && ( ($group_moderator['user_id'] == $userdata['user_id']) || ($userdata['user_level'] == ADMIN) )) )                {                    $template->assign_block_vars('member_type.member_row.switch_mod_option', array());                }            }        }    }

REPLACE WITH:

Code: Select all:     if ( ($group_info['group_type'] == GROUP_HIDDEN) && !$is_moderator )    {        for($i = $start; $i <min>assign_block_vars('member_type', array(                        'L_TYPE' => ( $group_members[$i]['group_moderator'] ) ? $lang['Group_Moderator'] ],                        )                    );                    $color = false;                }                $last_member_type = $group_members[$i]['group_moderator'];                $color = !$color;                $row_class = ( $color ) ? $theme['td_class1'] : $theme['td_class2'];                                // set the row class                 $template->assign_block_vars('member_type.member_row', array(                    'ROW_CLASS' => $row_class,                    'USER_ID' => $user_id,                     )                );                                @reset($user_maps['PHPBB.groupcp']['fields']);                preProcessUserConfig($group_members[$i]);                while (list($field_name, $field_data) = @each($user_maps['PHPBB.groupcp']['fields']) )                {                    $val = pcp_output($field_name, $group_members[$i], 'PHPBB.groupcp');                    if(!$val){                        $val = " ";                    }                    $template->assign_block_vars('member_type.member_row.member_fields', array(                                'FIELD' => $val,                                'WIDTH' => $width,                                )                            );                   }                                if ($is_moderator)                {                    if ( !$group_members[$i]['group_moderator'] || ($group_members[$i]['group_moderator'] && ( ($group_moderator['user_id'] == $userdata['user_id']) || ($userdata['user_level'] == ADMIN) )) )                    {                        $template->assign_block_vars('member_type.member_row.switch_mod_option', array());                    }                }            }        }    }

Let me know.

Thank You Luca,

Wasn't around for a long time, so didn't know that somebody actually took a shot at this problem.

I will try your solution, and tell you, how it goes.

Thank you, once again
