<p>Hi, I've patched og.module with some custom code, and was hoping if any coders out there could give me suggestions or feedback about whether I did this correctly. My php skills is basic, so I may or may not have coded it well or correctly. Rather than patching og.module, should this be done in template.php? (and how do I do this?)</p>
<p>Basically, I'm using drupal as a course management system, where teachers can create groups (courses), and add lessons to their groups. But if a teacher adds another teacher as a subscriber to the course, then the other teacher will also be able to add lessons to the course. I don't want this, because other teachers should be only able to observe, rather than post. In order to solve this I wrote the below code change in og.module. However, I would like added teachers who have been designated as 'group admins' to be able to post lessons, but not added teachers who are not admins.</p>
<p>In my code, I use $group->uid == $user->uid to check if user is the owner of the group. However I would prefer to just check if they have the 'group admin' permission. Is there a function or easy way to do this? Here is my full code:</p>
<pre>/**<br> * Confirm og unsubscription submit handler<br> */<br>function og_confirm_unsubscribe_submit($form_id, $form_values) {<br> og_delete_subscription($form_values['gid'], $form_values['uid']);<br> drupal_set_message(t('User unsubscribed from group.'));<br> return "node/$gid";<br>}<br><br><br>// since a user's subscriptions are loaded into $user object, this function is only occassionally useful to get group subs for users other than the current user<br>// even then, it often makes sense to call user_load() instead of this function.<br>// load all subscriptions for a given user<br>function og_get_subscriptions($uid, $min_is_active = 1) {<br> static $subscriptions = array();<br><br>/* Original og code<br> if (!isset($subscriptions[$uid][$min_is_active])) {<br> $sql = "SELECT n.title, n.type, n.status, ou.* FROM {og_uid} ou INNER JOIN {node} n ON ou.nid = n.nid WHERE ou.uid = %d AND ou.is_active >= %d ORDER BY n.title";<br> $result = db_query($sql, $uid, $min_is_active);<br> while ($row = db_fetch_array($result)) {<br> $subscriptions[$uid][$min_is_active][$row['nid']] = $row;<br> }<br><br> if (!isset($subscriptions[$uid][$min_is_active])) {<br> $subscriptions[$uid][$min_is_active] = array();<br> }<br> }<br>*/<br>// Replacement code<br><br> if (!isset($subscriptions[$uid][$min_is_active]) && $group->uid == $user->uid) {<br> $sql = "SELECT n.title, n.type, n.status, ou.* FROM {og_uid} ou INNER JOIN {node} n ON ou.nid = n.nid WHERE ou.uid = %d AND ou.is_active >= %d AND ou.is_admin = 1 ORDER BY n.title";<br> $result = db_query($sql, $uid, $min_is_active);<br> while ($row = db_fetch_array($result)) {<br> $subscriptions[$uid][$min_is_active][$row['nid']] = $row;<br> }<br><br> if (!isset($subscriptions[$uid][$min_is_active])) {<br> $subscriptions[$uid][$min_is_active] = array();<br> }<br> } elseif (!isset($subscriptions[$uid][$min_is_active]) && $group->uid != $user->uid) {<br> $sql = "SELECT n.title, n.type, n.status, ou.* FROM {og_uid} ou INNER JOIN {node} n ON ou.nid = n.nid WHERE ou.uid = %d AND ou.is_active >= %d ORDER BY n.title";<br> $result = db_query($sql, $uid, $min_is_active);<br> while ($row = db_fetch_array($result)) {<br> $subscriptions[$uid][$min_is_active][$row['nid']] = $row;<br> }<br><br> if (!isset($subscriptions[$uid][$min_is_active])) {<br> $subscriptions[$uid][$min_is_active] = array();<br> }<br> }<br><br> return $subscriptions[$uid][$min_is_active];<br>}</pre><p>Thanks for any suggestions of help!</p>
