Dear support team (and other JS members),

This is not JS related though i really, really hope you can help me out with a solution for this problem.

My website previously was only exclusive for validated members. Members that i or my team checked by a webcam screening. However.... i need to start making my website more commercial, if i atleast want to try to cover the basic costs with my subscription base.

So.... i am making my website more public with a direct registration. However... i still wish to give the members the option to become a validated member so that other members can see instantly that they are talking to a real member instead of a "catfish"/ fake member. So my thought was to put a big green check-icon on the profile of the user, maybe in a module to show that this member is checked by our beloved teammembers.

At this point al checked members are put into a VIP usergroup within Joomla.

My question...... Can anybody give us a direction into how to code a script that checkes if the user is in a VIP-usergroup?

Really hope you can help me out with this.... Thanks in advance!

Hi,

here the docs about that:
docs.joomla.org/JFactory/getUser
docs.joomla.org/Accessing_the_current_user_object
documentation.jomsocial.com/wiki/Developers_Documentation

that docs only for basic thing. you need to build your own code. jomsocial support cant do it, because that beyond of jomsocial support.

Regards

Hi Albertus,

Thank you for your reply. Ofcourse i understand that you can not write the code... I just wanted to know if somebody could point us some directions.

Thanks you for your time :)
