[SOLVED] Specific Fields for Groups

Hi,

I've been looking around and experimenting but haven't found much of a solution here...

I need to have specific fields to only show on specific groups (Group Jive). For example, if I have a group for actors and a field for 'hair color', I wouldn't want that field to show in the group for stage crew employees.

Do you know what the best way would be to accomplish this? Or if there's documentation that I missed, could you direct me to it?

Thanks!

Best way to do that is probably a CB Query Field to query for the groups the user has or a specific group you're wanting to test against then have it return a value that could be conditioned. You'd then use CB Conditional and instead of selecting a field to condition against select Custom > Value. Next supply a substitution for your query field then condition against it as needed depending on what the query returns. For example if your query field returns a 1 if the user is in the group and a 0 if they are not you could use the below.

Field: Custom > Value
Value: [cb_myqueryfield]
Operator: Equal To
Value: 1
Mode: Show

Thanks, Kyle, for the detailed instruction. Awesome support!

I was wondering if there is any kind of documentation for the CB Query field or CB Conditional. I searched the manual and didn't find anything.

What I'm wondering is... if I have 10 groups with 20 fields specific to each group... am I going to need 200 query field and conditionals for these?

When you say 'query for the groups the user has', What table would I even query from? Since Group Jive and Community Builder are pretty much separate entities in the database, I can't find any kind of connection or table that I can query that from.

PLEASE READ FIRST

I think I found a 'work-around' that I'm more comfortable with. I'll let you know if it works and what I did, but will leave my prior post for reference in case it doesn't.

You only need 1 query field. You'll just concat the results and then use a REGEX operator then some regex to match a specific group. Example as follows.


Query:
The above should give you a linebreak separated (much easier to match than comma list) list of group ids. Example results as follows.

1
10
21
31
41
51
61
100

You'd then configure your conditionals as follows. Note it's important to test your query field gives the expected results. Be sure to test it on profile view to ensure it is linebreak separated before moving forward or the REGEX will not work right.

Field: Custom > Value
Value: [cb_myqueryfield]
Operator: Is REGEX
Value: /^DIGIT_HERE$/ or /DIGIT_HERE\s/
Mode: Show

Replacing DIGIT_HERE with 10 for example should match the above as 10 exists in the list. I've provided 2 REGEX you can try in the above encase one doesn't work as expected.
