I can't get the "{IF USER->POST_STATUS "lurker"}" to work in header.tpl

I have this code in header.tpl:

	{IF USER->POST_STATUS "lurker"}
	
		You've registered, but have not posted anything yet. Feel free to start a new thread in the forum of your choice.
	
	{/IF}
	{IF NOT LOGGEDIN}
	
		Want to participate? Click on the login link to reach the registration form.
	
	{/IF}

And I have defined a rule for "lurker" that fills the variable POST_STATUS.

The "IF NOT LOGGEDIN" portion works fine, but the first portion displays nothing. Any ideas where I might be going amiss with this?

Hi Maurice

After much searching, it sounds like your module does kinda what I want. Except, instead of a HTML tag, I'd like to assign the user into a group. Are you interested in a feature like this? If I can't find anything else that fits what I'm trying to do, I'll probably make modifications to your module, and ether submit a patch, or fork it, if thats ok with you.

Concept:
Users with <10 approved posts, are in group "Newbies"
Users with >= 10 approved posts are in group "Regulars"

Then using other mods, Newbies group will be always moderated. It sounds like your user tagging code can be run at different times (page loads), so it should be able to change the groups ok. If I do something like "<10 posts && not in group newbies, change to group Newbies" then it won't be trying to change the group all the time.

Thanks

Tim

Hi folks,

Can anyone point me in the right direction to enable the users tag to be shown on the topic list page. I would like to indicate the the users tag for the topic author and last post. Essentially where a username is displayed so should the tag.

I understand where in the list.tpl i need to add information but im not sure how to grab the tag info to put it in place.

Thanks

Isaac

I don't know why it won't work for you if you follow the README file to the letter. Yes, the module automatically creates the template variable based on the criteria that you setup in the rule. You suggested custom profile variables, but those have nothing to do with the variables that this module sets. These are simply template variables that are added to the template data.

Did you recalculate the post counters?

Hi Maurice Makaay,
I followed the read me completely and set up those rules, but even after that nothing shows up anywhere (possibly because the POST_STATUS variable is not getting set). I can send you all the screen shots of my control panel and the code changes - what else can I say. :(
Note that I have already set up almost every module (except a few such as User notes, User Tagging, Forum Subscriptions etc) successfully and won't be committing such a simple mistake. :(
Do you mean to say that the module AUTOMATICALLY defines and populates the Variable I provide in "The template variable name to fillHelp" text box? I have already done that and set up all the rules as instructed. If it is so why the too the POST_STATUS variable is not getting populated with data for me? :( Any guess?
Regards,
Sreenadh

Did you actually read the README? There is a very extensive example section in there that describes a possible set of recipes to use for this module. Setting up the template variable is done by those recipe rules. It is not in there by default. My guess is that you misunderstood the use of this module and did follow only half the README.

Hi,
I was trying to setup this module, and has edited every template as suggested. I have enabled the module and still nothing shows up anywhere! It is not working.
I checked what could be the problem by just putting and else condition to the if (used by the module in every template) and found that the POST_STATUS custom variable used by module is not defined or empty. The readme file says "This module allows you to setup rules for creating custom template variables, based on a user's state / properties."
Am I supposed to define such "template variables" anywhere? Or is that referring to some "Custom Profile variable" that I should define?
I am bit confused - can anyone please help me on this.
Regards,
Sreenadh

Hi guys,
I have set up several tags based on post count and it all works fine but i also want to select several users and set their tag as something different not based on post count.

I have tried adding them all to a group and setting a rule to say members of this group should have a certain tag. I have also selected them individually by username. However the post count rule they match seems to always override the tag.

How do you set the priority of a rule or do all rules need to be exclusive?

I expect im just going about it the wrong way.

One last thing how to you find a userid is it in the sql db or somewhere in the admin pages?

Thanks for your time.

Isaac

Thanks for the idea and patch.
I included it in version 1.0.7 of the module.

Maurice, this is an awesome module, thanks for creating it!

I made an addition to it, and am posting it in case you or anyone finds useful. I added a match for when a user_id is found in a ban list (or not in a ban list). I sometimes use the the ban list on user_id option to temporarily ban misbehaving users from posting, and recently thought it would be useful to make the user tagging recognize these. I attached the hack as diff files in the ban_list.zip.

-phil.

mmakaay: delete the attached diff, it is now part of the release package

I'm glad that you found it. The problem already sounded like some code was either hacked up or not up-to-date. I hope all the rest will be a smooth ride from here.

Hi Maurice,

Line 79 was the offending line of code. I just checked that against the latest version variable should be $message['user']..

I inherited the forum of another person who had made some mods, strange that the problem only appeared when the forum was copied between servers.

Thanks for your help and the time you spent on this. It's much appreciated.

Re: Module: User Tagging

Maurice Makaay — Sat, 05 Dec 2009 04:50:36 -0600

Exactly on what line do you see $message['author'] in user_tagging.php? It does not occur in my version of the script.

Additionally, I still don't see how the admin field would get the first letter of the author name in it because of this module. This module only inspects the contents of the admin field and never sets it.

Re: Module: User Tagging

tankslap — Sat, 05 Dec 2009 03:55:41 -0600

Hi Maurice,

I have tracked the problem down. As suggested I have disabled all other modules to ensure that I am only looking at the phorum core code and the user tagging module.

In the user_tagging.php the calling function to user_tagging_process_rule is passing through $message['author'] this value appears to contain only the username, which would explain the characters I was getting as they are the first letter of the username.
I have tweeked the code the call $user = phorum_api_user_get($message['user_id'], TRUE); and pass $user as the second parameter into the process_rule function and all is working as expected, just a little slower than it should..

Re: Module: User Tagging

Maurice Makaay — Fri, 04 Dec 2009 10:28:52 -0600

So it seems that some code is setting the admin field incorrectly and I can assure you that it is not the core Phorum code.

Try disabling modules to see what module is breaking the admin field for you.

Hi Thomas,

Yes I have checked the database, assuming that the $user['admin'] variable is populated from the admin column then the column definition is tinyint and obviously all values are numeric.

Re: Module: User Tagging

Thomas Seifert — Fri, 04 Dec 2009 02:58:08 -0600

did you check it in the database?

Re: Module: User Tagging

tankslap — Fri, 04 Dec 2009 02:56:43 -0600

Hi Marice,

Thanks for the reply, the contents of the $user['admin'] variable is a character, for the three user records I am testing with I get D, d, and k

Re: Module: User Tagging

Maurice Makaay — Thu, 03 Dec 2009 17:54:34 -0600

What is the content of $user['admin']? That one should either be 0 (zero) or 1 (one).

The post counts are stored in the custom profile field "mod_user_tagging".
You can remove that field and then recreate it (make sure that you use the exact same field settings).
However, rebuilding the post counts should reset the counters as well.

Hi Maurice,

I'm still struggling to get this module to work. I have spent some time looking into the code and have found something that I am not sure is correct and would appreciate your input if possible.

EDIT: Sorry, should clarify. The paragraph below relates to the user_tagging_process_rule function.

Within the api.php there is a switch block for the rule scope, for all my rules this is going into the GLOBAL case. However, looking at the following code I would expect $count to return an int and it appears to be returning a character. Incidentally, the character value returned in the $count variable is the same as held in $user['admin'].

Is this correct or is my user table corrupted ??

Thanks, Jon.

What you kind of left out of the story was the fact that you were getting admin timeout warnings in between, right? If you did, then the new 1.0.6 release of the module should fix this issue for you. Otherwise, give it a try anyway. 1.0.6 works for me on Phorum 5.2.13.

Re: Module: User Tagging

djdubuque — Wed, 21 Oct 2009 13:48:47 -0500

The issue is I can not delete a rule that was setup in this mod. There is the following buttons

[code="html4strict"]
Edit| Copy| Delete
[/code]

I should be able to select delete and delete that rule. But it doesn't, it goes all the way to "Are you sure you want to delete the rule "Lurker"? " Yes No

I select yes and the rule is still there.

Thomas Seifert — Wed, 21 Oct 2009 13:42:19 -0500

It would help to describe the issue.

I'm having an issue with deleting a user tag in the admin mod area. Any help out there? Where does the script post the tags that were created?

Is there anyway of completely un-installing this mod and all of its data so i can re-install it from scratch ??

I've tried find where the post counts are stored for the mod and can see it, I've tried deleting the rows from the phorum_settings table, but no change as yet...

Re: Module: User Tagging

tankslap — Fri, 26 Jun 2009 02:42:09 -0500

The rules are setup with the Template variable being USERRANK and the HTML code just the text of the level, there is no additional formatting.

The read.tpl contains the following section:

{IF MESSAGES->user->USERRANK}
    Rank: {MESSAGES->user->USERRANK}
{/IF}
