[edit] Purpose
Provides secure parser functions to retrieve user related information.
[edit] Usage
This extension is really meant to be used with Extension:ParserPhase2.
[edit] User options
- E.g.
(($#cusergetoption|email|default$))- Get the current user's email option
- E.g.
(($#usergetoption|user id or name|email|default$))- Get the specified user's email option IFF the current has the 'userdetails' right
[edit] User Group Membership
- {{#cuserfromgroup:group-to-look-for|trueValue|falseValue}}
- trueValue is returned if current user is part of group
- falseValue is returned if current user is not part of group
Similar to #cuserfromgroup:
- {{#userfromgroup:username-OR-user-id|group-to-look-for|trueValue|falseValue}}
- Either a username or user id must be supplied
[edit] Features
- Options are categorized as either 'RESTRICTED' or 'UNRESTRICTED' for privacy reasons
- User must have the userdetails right to access 'RESTRICTED' options
- Also, the current user must have the userdetails to view some other user's group membership

Consult User Jldupont's page.
- ↑ The most recent release is always available through the extension's PEAR and SVN repositories. This page is not necessarily up-to-date.
- ↑ 2.0 2.1 2.2 Extension:ExtensionManager does not require any modification to LocalSettings.php because ExtensionManager includes the extension.
Note that if PHP code caching is in place (e.g. APC, eAccelerator), then to successfully complete the installation a cache flush might be needed. - ↑ Modifications to
LocalSettings.phpis only necessary if not using Extension:ExtensionManager
