display user role in advanced forum on drupal7

The quick answer is to use $user->roles.

Since you aren't good with PHP, I suspect that isn't enough and will leave this active until I or someone else has time to write out the whole snippet for you.

Would you like to display all roles that the user has or how many?

If the users is only a authenticated user should it say 'authenticated user' then or nothing, or what?

Please give some more info please and I will make a example as soon as possible if not Michelle gets to it first.

Here is a code snippet that you could add to your author-pane.tpl.php file to display all roles that the author has.

<div class="author-pane-line author-roles">
  <?php print implode(', ', $account->roles); ?>
</div>

It might be that the site that was in the picture uses the User titles module.

Did you edit the template in the Advanced Forum folder or in Author Pane?

Do you want to display the user Roles or User titles? The code snippet is for the user Roles.

Test and edit the: /sites/all/modules/advanced_forum/styles/naked/advanced-forum.naked.author-pane.tpl.php instead.

I am using blue lagoon style for advance forum, how can I add the snippet to display user role

Doesn't it work if you edit the advanced-forum.naked.author-pane.tpl.php file in the naked style folder? Since blue lagoon uses the naked style as base style it should work. If not, try to copy the tpl file from naked to the blue lagoon folder.

Thanks a lot it really works.
But there is an issue with the display

I don't want the numbers to come next to user role

Don't know why you get thoose numbers. What type of char set do you have?

What is char set

Is your theme/file writen i UTF-8 or something else? It seems to be a UTF code "u2028".

I am using lite jazz theme by roopletheme

I tried to change the theme and in garland, bartik also the issue remains the same
What can be done about this.

I don't know what the problem is. And this is not the right issue for that either. Try to write in the drupal support forums.

I tried posting in main Drupal forum still there is no response
Please help me, can you please give me dome suggestion

Sorry but I don't know what the problem could be.

In your previous post you mentioned that we can have option to display a particular role if users has more than 1 roles how can I go about that

i dont know why this didnt work for my AP,,, im using the 7.x-2.0-beta1
should i change to dev version for this to work? please help...

I am using advance forum more style and changing naked tpl has not affect

I edited advance forum more style author pane tpl and got it working but the issue remains the same
I am getting those weired number again.
It's a fresh Drupal installation.
Please help me in this, it's an essential part of the forum and I cannot miss it

Thanks, Thanks, Thanks a lot.
Issue is resolved.
just one simple question.

i am admin of my site and when i post any topic, Author pane displays it as authenticated user, administrator
i want it to pick up the highest value.
For example in this case it should Administrator and not Authenticated user.

If a user is a moderator, then it should be just Moderator and not Authenticated user.

@Sms2luv: could you please stop spam this issue!! This issue is about how to display the user roles and it has been explained. You have to take your problem to the forums or other sites because this has nothing to do with this!

Excuse me it's not spamming
I am just asking a simple question and it is in scope of drupal
I am not asking about rocket science it just a simple query of php

You have posted 4 "please help me" and once "any update on this". So you are bumping this issue that is even closed and fixed! That I count as spam. So PLEASE try Drupal.org forums to get help and not this issue.

@Scyther please check #4 comment, you have asked which role shoudl be displayed, so i have just asking you the same thing.

What you are asking no longer has anything to do with Author Pane. It's basic PHP. If you don't know how to write PHP, you might want to learn at least a little so you aren't dependent on others to write it for you. If you don't want to do that, asking your questions in the forums will get a lot more eyes on it than asking off-topic questions in a project's issue queue.

The variable in question is $account->roles as was stated above. You've already been told how to put it into Author Pane. The only remaining question is how to choose one value out of the array and that can be done with a foreach loop with a test inside to check the current value against the role(s) you want to print.

Good Unity

Instead of writing the whole story don't you think that you could had replied with resolution

Instead of spending 6 days begging for someone to do your work for you, don't you think you could have taken some initiative yourself? I told you exactly how to do it; you just need to look up the syntax. That's all the more fish I'm throwing you. Time to learn how to bait that hook.

Michelle seems that you think yourself super smart

I really don't know why you are poking your nose here
You are not required here bye

Sorry for poking my nose into an issue in the queue of the module I wrote. What was I thinking?

SO if you removed your frustration, can we come back to the topic

Now you don't approve of my gender? This is getting quite silly, don't you think? Time to move along... Nothing more to be done here. Why don't you find yourself a nice book on PHP and spend your time more constructively?

Michelle

sorry to be rude, but if you think that you are super smart you deserve this language

Ok, this is beyond silly and into boring. Locking unproductive thread.
