I cannot see the "prymary group" of user

[ENRIQUE_JIMENEZ_RUIZ]

I am trying to show in the navbar the primary group.

First, I try to use it:

$GLOBALS['phpgw_info']['user']['groups']

As described in the phpgwapi\doc directory of my install directory, but it doesn’t work.

Second, I try this code:

$groups = $GLOBALS[‘phpgw’]->accounts->membership( intval($GLOBALS[‘phpgw_info’][‘user’][‘account_id’]));

if (gettype($groups) == ‘array’)
{
if( is_array($groups) )
{
while ($group = each($groups))
{
foreach($groups as $group)
{
$api_messages = $api_messages.‘Group=’.$group[0];
}
}
}
}

Can someone help me? Why $GLOBALS[‘phpgw_info’][‘user’][‘groups’] do not show me the primary group?

Zanks!

This entry is not set by the api. As var as I can remember, it was never
set.

The primary group is set in $GLOBALS[phpgw_info][user][primary_group].
The accounts::membership function gives you an array of all groups the
user is a member of. No idea what’s the purpose of your stacked
while/foreach loop.

Then pretty PLEASE remove the relevant API documentation at
https://community.egroupware.org/index.php?wikipage=ApplicationDevelopmentGuide%2FConfigurationVariables !!!

“User information
(…)
$GLOBALS[‘egw_info’][‘user’][‘groups’] = Groups the user is a member of
”

It drove me absolutely bonkers trying to find this seemingly (!!!) well-documented entry, which was, as you say, never even there…

The primary group is set in $GLOBALS[phpgw_info][user][primary_group]

No it isn’t.
Well, this might be old behaviour (‘phpgw_info’!), so I looked further.

In another of your (i.e. ralf’s) forum answers ( see http://www.egroupware.org/forum#nabble-td691460 ) I found the following:

$memberships = $GLOBAL[‘egw’]->accounts->memberships($GLOBALS[‘egw_info’][‘user’][‘account_id’]);

and

$members = $GLOBAL[‘egw’]->accounts->members(‘xyz’,true);

respectively, which look good, because they use ‘egw’ and ‘egw_info’.

But still to no avail - both give me this error:

“Fatal error: Call to a member function memberships() on a non-object in /(…)/egroupware/timesheet/inc/class.timesheet_ui.inc.php on line …”

(I removed the non-relevant part of the path and the line number)

What’s the matter here, why does this not work?
And why must it be so cumbersome to find out something as simple as group memberships?

$GLOBALS[‘phpgw_info’] was never supported in EGroupware, it has to be
$GLOBALS[‘egw_info’], thought I never seen ‘groups’.

That’s really wired, $GLOBALS[‘egw’]->accounts gets automatically
instanciated since quite some time. What EGroupware version are you using?

$memberships = $GLOBAL[‘egw’]->accounts->memberships(

// true = return just array of account_id’s instead of account_id =>
account_lid pairs

That’s definitely right code! Somethings really wrong or outdated on
your system, if that’s not working.

No, it is definitely not.

What’s “wired” here is that you post wrong code snippets with very subtle typos, which is really a nuissance in a forum where beginners tend to ask questions:

Read again (see http://www.egroupware.org/forum#nabble-td691460 ):
You wrote
$GLOBAL[‘egw’]->accounts…
in BOTH (!) examples!

I noticed the missing S ($GLOBALS!!!) only after some time, because I was new the system and thought that the callable objects are in a differently named global array ON PURPOSE!!

Only after realising the possible typo and trying
$GLOBALS[‘egw’]->accounts->…
it did finally work.

So PLEASE:

1. proof-read your forum examples or cut and paste code from working code snippets!
2. Update/proof-read API documentation pages! Why did the abovementioned entry make it there in the first place when the ‘groups’-entry never even existed in the $GLOBALS-array?

This was really very annoying, it cost me some hours to work this out, just because of inaccurate documentation and wrong example code.

I know that it is more fun to gobble together a system than to document it properly, but the API documentation for egroupware is really SEVERLY lacking in many respects.

Will do.

BTW, as you are also the developer of the timesheet:

Why are the numeric columns in the table not right-aligned?

I looked into the HTML-source, and all data-containing table cells (i.e. ‘td’-tags) are explicitely set to ‘align=“left”’ (even though this is the default for table cells anyway!).

I’d like to have the numeric columns right-aligned, but I did not find anything useful in the templates - where does this “align”-property of the td’s come from and how can I change this behaviour for individual colums?

(Right-alignment should in my opinion be the default for numeric columns anyway throughout the application - if the values do not align by themselves at any rate (as they do for integers without decimal point), I can always add the right amount of (zero’ed) decimal places to correct this. With left-aligned cells it is OTOH a real problem to make any numbers align, be they integers or decimals.

Thanks in advance!

Timesheet is an eTemplate app, so alignment can be set in index.xet:

http://svn.stylite.de/viewvc/egroupware/trunk/timesheet/templates/default/index.xet?revision=46206&view=markup

You can set align=“right” on row children. But for 1.8 you habe to do it
with editor of eTemplate app! Setting it in .xet file only works in
eTemplate2 and upcomming 14.1.
