Load user data in frontend including user group

Hello there,

I'm new to ChronoForms v4, but from what I've seen it's a great extension! Now I'm trying to build a frontend user compontent tool, where members of a specific group can view and edit user data. From the tutorials I've learnt how to load data from a single table and also how to make it editable. However, I need to do this for the user component. My current problem with this is, that I don't know how to get it to load the user groups for each user (as it is done in the administrator users view). Has anyone done this successfully? Can it be done and how do I set it up🤨

Any help is appreciated! 😀

Hi Newbee,

I think that you can use this in a Custom Code element

<?php 
echo JHTML::_('list.users', 'input_name', 1, 0, NULL, 'name', 1); 
?>

Thanks for your help, Bob!
This is a great way to build a user dropdown list, but it is not exactly what I need :wink: I'm sorry, I didn't explain myself properly😶 What I would like to do, is to create a frontend view, displaying user data similar to "/administrator/index.php?option=com_users&view=users" without all the backend features, but with the option to edit (block, unblock) users. I can load the basic jos_users table, but not the associated user groups for each user. Is there a simple way to do this?

Cheers!

Hi Newbee,

I poked around in the Joomla! sites and found this (from this forum thread). I haven't tested it though.

<?php
$user = JFactory::getUser();
$userGroups = $user->getAuthorisedGroups();
?>

Fantastic! Very useful stuff. It worked for me. Thanks a lot!

Hi Newbee,

Can your guide me on how to make like you do?
Where to insert that custom code element?
