user tip Group Search for Profile Display

Hey Guys,

I am adding a "My Groups" display to my sidebar (elastic skin) much like the latest followers.

I am stuck on the search params required to only show groups I own or have joined.


I know that group_owner is wrong, but I can't see how that is stored from the data store. Plus, the group_member_id is not working either.

I hope someone can help me with this.

Thanks

Take a look at these docs:

Docs: "{debug}"
https://www.jamroom.net/the-jamroom-network/documentation/development/1477/debug

The debug panel will tell you what variables you have to work with. take out some of the search stuff and put the {debug} in the $my_group_tpl template

Looking at the database structure now, you might need to create a custom smarty function to get the groups that the current profile is a member of because it looks like the members of a group are stored in their own table.

Docs: "Defining your own SMARTY function"
https://www.jamroom.net/the-jamroom-network/documentation/development/1569/defining-your-own-smarty-function

Need to see what data comes back with a debug in your template and a simple jrCore_list call:

The group members might get added, you'd need to check.

I think I found the info I need, but I am unsure as to how to write the search syntax to search inside of an array.


The profile_id is in there and we may need to search for member_active =1 first.

What do you think?

What is the name of that array? {$group_member} ??

if it is, then its:

or

for things with nested arrays, you'd normally be looping over the container though.


More info in the smarty docs:
http://www.smarty.net/docs/en/language.function.foreach

Docs: "{foreach}{/foreach}"
https://www.jamroom.net/the-jamroom-network/documentation/development/3142/foreach-foreach

and give the Developer Docs a skim read for interesting stuff:

Docs: "Developer -> Table of Contents"
https://www.jamroom.net/the-jamroom-network/documentation/development

Ok, here is what I have and I think it is going to work out for now. It places a thumbnail of the group image for groups that the profile owner has created, in the side bar. Additionally, when the profile owner is viewing their profile I added a link to view Groups I Follow; thus eliminating the additional menu item in the account drop down menu (elastic skin).

[code]
{if !jrCore_is_mobile_device() && jrCore_module_is_active('jrGroup')}

{capture assign="my_groups_tpl"}
{literal}
{jrCore_module_url module="jrGroup" assign="murl"}
{if isset($_items)}
{foreach from=$_items item="item"}
<a href="{$jamroom_url}/{$item.profile_url}/{$murl}/{$item._item_id}/{$item.group_title_url}">{jrCore_module_function function="jrImage_display" module="jrGroup" type="group_image" item_id=$item._item_id size="small" crop="auto" class="img_shadow" width=58 height=58 style="padding:2px;margin-bottom:4px;" alt="{$item.group_title|jrCore_entity_string}" title="{$item.group_title|jrCore_entity_string}" _v=$item._updated}</a>
{/foreach}
{/if}
{/literal}
{/capture}

{jrCore_list module="jrGroup" profile_id = "`$_profile_id`" assign="groups" template=$my_groups_tpl}
{if strlen($groups) > 0}
<div class="block block_profile_left">
<h3>My Groups:</h3>
<div class="block_content mt10">
<div style="padding-top:8px">
{$groups}
</div>
{if jrProfile_is_profile_owner($_profile_id)}
<a href="{$jamroom_url}/group/my_groups">Groups I Follow</a>
{else}
{/if}
</div>
</div>
{/if}
{/if}
{/code]

Can you give us a screenshot of what it looks like?
and...where did you add that code?

Sure I added it to the profile_sidebar.tpl for my skin.

Thanks! -And does clicking on each group avatar thumbnail take you to that particular group page?...the way it does with the "Latest followers' pix?- that'd certainly be an easy boost to get folks to join groups!
