[SOLVED] Need some general help

[SOLVED] Need some general help was created by yumasan
I can't seem to find the options I'm looking for.
All of our registered users are set to user groups per standard joomla users group.
I've created a directory listing using the list management option of CB.
I've added to columns using the field management tool to show name, avatar, city and state.

2 things I want to do in addition.
I want to display the group each user is in by column.

I want to change heading that say there are 2 registered users to, there are 2 "staffers" in this level/group.
I don't want to create a brand new field called group, shouldn't CB be able to offer it as an option to be displayed?
Where am I missing it?

Please see attachments for clarity.

I want to display the group each user is in by column.

There's no field for doing that. It's typically not a good idea to expose a users ACL beyond a "are the a moderator or not?". If you still want to do this the best I can suggest is a Custom HTML field with IF substitutions against the usergroup or view access level to output what their access is. See the bottom of the below substitution tutorial for examples.

The count output only counts the number of users actually output. It has no idea if they're staff or not. At any rate it's a language string that you can override. See the below on how to override the language string.

Thanks. On the first one, yeah, I'm not trying to show anyone's ACL. Just a group name, like group A group B. This shouldn't show any inclination of an ACL they have.
I will look into your suggestion, although it would seem like a more simple solution that should be a regular choice to display rather than custom HTML, but so be it. Thanks for that info!

The second one, yes, I realize it doesn't know staff level they are, how could it? I was looking for a text/language override as you noted.

Thanks again for the help!

I think I'm still missing something. I was able to add the custom field, but it won't show anything.
I'm using this override [cb:if usergroup includes "Area"]Area Level[/cb:if]

Maybe I'm using the wrong type? putting in the wrong place?

I used a new field, text field and put this in the placeholder value of the display tab in the parameters tab.

Thanks in advance!

Got it!
Used the following code in custom HTML:
[cb:if usergroup includes "15"]Area[/cb:if]
[cb:if usergroup includes "16"]National[/cb:if]
[cb:if usergroup includes "17"]Regional[/cb:if]
[cb:if usergroup includes "14"]Advisory[/cb:if]
[cb:if usergroup includes "12"]Supervisor[/cb:if]

Woo Hoo!! Thanks!
