How do you get user info from a post? - Tom K. - 2011-05-10

I'm modifying the postbit and I want to get the user who posted's GID and postcount, so I can use it in a custom function I am hooking into the postbit. Smile

You want to get Poster's Usergroup ID ?

$post['usergroup'] // Poster's Usergroup

$post['postnum'] // Poster's Number of Posts

So I just put that in my function?

function check() {
    Echo $post['usergroup'];
    echo $post'postnum'];
    }

Should be

function check($post) {
   echo $post['foobar'];
}

if you're using the postbit hook Smile

Yes, you can use these. But let me know what exactly you want with these variables ?
