Can I assign a different FCKToolbar set to diff Nsngroups.

Apologies if this has been anwered b4 , I have tried to read all posts here.

Not being a programmer by trade, but being able to understand the logic, I want to ask if there is any way I could modify the fckconfig.js and the index.php of the submit_news module to call a different Fck Toobar with differnt nsngroups.

I have succesfully moddified the "Nuke User" set being called , but this then allows all registered users to have that toolbar.

What i need to be able to do , is only allow a few trusted people access to an extended toolbar (but not admin access) , whilst leaving the other registered users the default Nuke user bar.

Thanks in advance

Actually, this is the first I've seen this request. Very interesting...

You could have to set up the tool bar configurations in fckconfig.js. You could do this for each group (i.e. the tool bar matches the group name). Then, you could modify the modules/submit_news/index.php to pass in the group name instead of NukeUser, etc. You would have to account for those who submit news and do not belong to a group (you could default to the current toolbar).

Im begginning to really get down to the nitty gritty of this but my limited syntax and command knowledge is letting me down, and I could be way off in my assumptions, but am enjoying learning all the same. I aplogise if everything below is way off.

I have created a New Nsn group called WebEditor and a new toolbarset with the same name in the .js file. I can now happily call this new toolbar by manually replacing "NukeUsers" with "WebEditior in the following line of the indx.php

wysiwyg_textarea("story", "", "NukeUser", "50", "50")

Now I presume i need to create a function that returns the group name a user belongs to ie WebEditor, which then can be substituted for the NukeUser value above.

As i say I understand the logic, ie in the index.php file , create a function that returns the usergroup name, define a variable that is the result of this function, and then substitute this variable in the line above. but as i say my programming knowledge is still very limited.

Any further help would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks in advance

I'm pretty sure there is already a function that determines the current user's NSN Group - you might check one of the NSN Groups-aware modules (e.g. NSN Group Downloads) to see how it's used.

I use it in the HTML Newsletter and it is quite easy to use. Make sure the $groups variable contains a dash-separated list of group ids (gid). For example, if I want to check to see that the logged in user is in groups 1,3 and 4, I would make sure $groups = '1-3-4'. Then, this test here will test for the existence of that user in one or more of those groups:

if (in_groups($groups)) { //user is in the group(s)

}

Is there another function that returns a user's groups?

kguske/bloodgrinder, I cannot find a function within NSN Groups' functions PHP script, so wrote this (NOT tested):

Code:

//This function will return a user's NSN Group id's in a string
//each group id is separated by a "dash".
function user_nsngroups() {
global $prefix, $db, $user, $cookie;
$user_groups = '';
if (is_user($user)) {
cookiedecode($user);
$guid = $cookie[0];
$currdate = time();
$results = $db->sql_query("SELECT `gid` FROM `".$prefix."_nsngr_users` WHERE `uid`='$guid' AND (`edate`>'$currdate' OR `edate`='0')");
while(list($gid) = $db->sql_fetchrow($results)) {
if ($user_groups != '') $user_groups .= '-';
$user_groups .= intval($gid);
}
}
return $user_groups;
}

As the comments imply, it will return the user's groups in a string with each group id separated with a dash "-". This is a common way in which NSN Groups stores a list of NSN group id's. You could then simply inspect that string for the group you are interested in.

P.S. Remember that I said that this is untested! Laughing
