| Post subject: User / Group Functions |
Is there a function in MDUsers which allows you simply to determine if a user is a member of a particular group (given the name or ID)? I've looked through includes/security.php and found the pnSecAuthAction() function, but I don't think it really gives me what I'm looking for. I'm about ready to write my own function, but I'd much rather use an existing function. |

We need more details needed about what exactly you're trying to do. All auth checks are passed through pnSecAuthAction, if that's not what you're looking for you need to supply more details. What do you expect to be returned? The usergroup as plain text given an input user? The Group ID of that user?
If this is a question in particular referring to MDUsers, it should either be in the mailing list or the MDLite Beta discussion forum. I suspect this is actually a general API question and not anything to do with MDUsers at all. The current API documentation is available HERE |

I'm modifying MDUsers to include Active Directory authentication. I'm trying to set it up so that if a user is a member of a particular group, it'll use AD for authentication. So all I need t o do is to have it tell me if the user is a member of that particular group. |

Discussion about modifying MDLite specific modules belongs in the dev list. Serg (creator of MDUsers) doesn't frequent these forums, so there is little point in posting this to the forum. Here's a copy of a function from PostNuke that does what you want, adapt is as needed.
| Code:
|
function pnGetUsersGroups($uid) {
list($dbconn) = pnDBGetConn();
$pntable = pnDBGetTables();
$grouptable = $pntable['group_membership'];
$groupcolumn = &$pntable['group_membership_column'];
$sql = "SELECT * FROM $grouptable WHERE $groupcolumn[uid] = " . pnVarPrepForStore($uid);
$result = $dbconn->Execute($sql);
$resarray = array();
while(list($groupid, $userid) = $result->fields) {
$result->MoveNext();
$resarray[] = array('groupid' => $groupid, 'userid' => $userid);
}
}

Another alternative is to edit the pnUserGetVars function, like:
| Code:
|
function pnUserGetVars($uid)
{
list($dbconn) = pnDBGetConn();
$pntable = pnDBGetTables();
$vars = array();
// TODO: review this code for performance.
$propertiestable = $pntable['user_property'];
$userstable = $pntable['users'];
$datatable = $pntable['user_data'];
$grouptable = $pntable['group_membership'];
$userscolumn = &$pntable['users_column'];
$datacolumn = &$pntable['user_data_column'];
$propcolumn = &$pntable['user_property_column'];
$groupcolumn = &$pntable['group_membership_column'];
$query = "SELECT $propcolumn[prop_label] as label, $datacolumn[uda_value] as value
FROM $datatable, $propertiestable, $grouptable
WHERE $datacolumn[uda_uid] = '" . pnVarPrepForStore($uid) . "' "
. "AND $datacolumn[uda_propid] = $propcolumn[prop_id]"
. " AND $groupcolumn[uid] = '" . pnVarPrepForStore($uid) . "'";
$result = $dbconn->Execute($query);
while (!$result->EOF) {
$uservars = $result->GetRowAssoc(false);
$vars[$uservars['label']] = $uservars['value'];
$result->MoveNext();
}
$result->Close();
$query = "SELECT *
FROM $userstable
WHERE $userscolumn[uid] = " . pnVarPrepForStore($uid);
$result = $dbconn->Execute($query);
if ($result->EOF) {
return false;
}
$corevars = $result->GetRowAssoc(false);
$result->Close();
$query = "SELECT $groupcolumn[gid]
FROM $grouptable
WHERE $groupcolumn[uid] = " . pnVarPrepForStore($uid);
$result = $dbconn->Execute($query);
if ($result->EOF) {
return false;
}
$group = $result->GetRowAssoc(false);
$result->Close();
$vars = array_merge ($vars, $corevars, $group);
// Aliasing if required
if (empty($vars['uid'])) {
$vars['uid'] = $vars['pn_uid'];
$vars['email'] = $vars['pn_email'];
$vars['gid'] = $vars['pn_gid'];
$vars['femail'] = $vars['pn_femail'];
$vars['name'] = $vars['pn_name'];
$vars['theme'] = $vars['pn_theme'];
$vars['timezone_offset'] = $vars['pn_timezone_offset'];
$vars['uname'] = $vars['pn_uname'];
$vars['ublock'] = $vars['pn_ublock'];
$vars['ublockon'] = $vars['pn_ublockon'];
$vars['user_avatar'] = $vars['pn_user_avatar'];
$vars['user_icq'] = $vars['pn_user_icq'];
$vars['user_aim'] = $vars['pn_user_aim'];
$vars['user_yim'] = $vars['pn_user_yim'];
$vars['user_msnm'] = $vars['pn_user_msnm'];
$vars['user_from'] = $vars['pn_user_from'];
$vars['user_occ'] = $vars['pn_user_occ'];
$vars['user_intrest'] = $vars['pn_user_intrest'];
$vars['user_sig'] = $vars['pn_user_sig'];
$vars['bio'] = $vars['pn_bio'];
$vars['url'] = $vars['pn_url'];
$vars['storynum'] = $vars['pn_storynum'];
$vars['umode'] = $vars['pn_umode'];
$vars['uorder'] = $vars['pn_uorder'];
$vars['thold'] = $vars['pn_thold'];
$vars['noscore'] = $vars['pn_noscore'];
$vars['commentmax'] = $vars['pn_commentmax'];
}
return($vars);
}
|
So then you can use something like:
| Code:
|
if (pnUserLoggedIn()) {
$gid = pnUserGetVar('gid');
if (isset($gid)) {
echo "You belong to usergroup $gid";
}
}
|
Probably a better option IMO |
