Help Accessing Group Slug

Teemberland

We have the following logic in v2, but it no longer works in v3

{{{ if posts.user.groups.length }}}
  {{{ each posts.user.groups }}}
    post-{posts.user.groups.slug}
  {{{ end }}}
{{{ end}}}

Can we still access group slug like this? Did this change in v3?

On the topic page there is groups property on each user, the user's selected badges are displayed via the selectedGroups property, so the below should work.

{{{ if posts.user.selectedGroups.length }}}
{{{ each posts.user.selectedGroups }}}
 post-{posts.user.selectedGroups.slug}
{{{ end }}}
{{{ end }}}

@baris yup, I tried this one, this works fine. However, I noticed if you set the badge to not show in admin, the slug won't show on the page.

@baris in addition to my post above, does this mean we cannot access group slug through posts.user.groups.slug anymore (in topic page)? If so, I gues the only way to access that is by enabling group badge in ACP.

@Teemberland if you don't see it in ajaxify.data.posts[0].user you can't access it in the template.
I think that property isn't available since 2016 https://github.com/NodeBB/NodeBB/commit/d67c0e1b089645156f53e3894ddbf3d57c696bc3.

On the topic page only the groups that the user selected in their profile page are returned. If you want to return all the groups the user is a member of you will need to add them in with a plugin.

I see! we were probably using an old plugin in slick. I'll double check, but otherwise, I'll use SelectedGroups. Thanks!

No worries, if for some reason you need all the groups the user is a member of you can accomplish that in the hook filter:posts.getUserInfoForPosts but keep in mind this might slow down your topic pages depending on how many groups the users are members of.

myPlugin.filterPostsGetUserInfoForPosts = async (hookData) => {
  const { users } = hookData;
  const userGroups = await groups.getUserGroups(users.map(u => u.uid));
  users.forEach((u, index) => {
    u.allGroups = userGroups[index];
  });
  return hookData;
}

This would create the allGroups property on users that shows all the visible groups.

@baris Fantastic! Thank you!
