List groups and users from extranet

Hi all smart people

I have been trying to list users within groups and at the same time list the groups, but can't seem to get it to work. I'm pretty sure it was possible but have tried almost every possible solution.

group 1
- user 1
- user 2
- user 3
group 2
- user 1
- user 2
- user 3
and so on

There is no loop within the groups loop that lets you list the users within the groups.
it is possible to view the users by clicking on the group, but I would like to list them all on the same list.

Hopefully someone can say "you just forgot this setting" or have a guide/code to do it "standard templates(html) or razor"

Best regards

Peter

Hi,

It seems not to be possible in regular way using 'Groups' or 'AllGroups' loops since they do not have appropriate sub-loop to render user inside the loops. It's possible to output sub-groups and users inside them using the loops & 'AllUsers' loop with 'Hierarchy' option checked but it will be other structure agaisnt the one shown above..

Hi Oleg

I can't find anyway to list groups with connected users, I can list users and groups separately but not together. The GroupID is not even visible on the user loop.

The hierarchy and groups list just lists as the others for me that is.

I'll see if I can make a "cheat" way to do it insted of standard loops.

Hi,

Below is the full content of a cshtml in the Designs\[DesignFolder]\Paragraph folder. This will list all users that are member of any of the groups in list myGroupFilter. Ditch the list check to simply list all extranet groups and their users.

@{
 List<string> myGroupFilter = new List<string>() { "Jedi Council", "Master", "Apprentices" };
 <h2>--- My selected groups and their users ---</h2>
 foreach (var group in Dynamicweb.Security.UserManagement.Group.GetGroups())
 {
    if (myGroupFilter.Contains(group.Name))
    {
       <h3>@group.Name</h3>
       <ul>
       @foreach (var user in Dynamicweb.Security.UserManagement.User.GetUsersByGroupID(group.ID))
       {
          <li>@user.Name (@user.UserName)</li>
       }
       </ul>
    }
 }
}

Setup a new paragraph on a page, and have the paragraph template point to the cshmtl file.

At the time of writing this, the result can be seen at http://msn.dev01.dynamicweb.dk/standard/login

Hi Morten

This is exactly what I was looking for, just removed some groups that should not be visible, and the list is working perfectly

Thank you very much for the assistance :o)

Is it possible to get custom user fields out of such a loop? I am using the GetGroups() function but calling GetString e.g. group.GetString(Tag) or GetString("tag") etc either throws an error (the first), or just blank data
