I have two user groups: (i) Lawyers and (ii) Non-lawyers.

My requirement is that when a Lawyer logs in, the 'Unswered' filter tab should be 'active' on 'page load'.

Can you please give me an if-them php statement for this. something like: if ($gid=='11') { load unswered active }

plesae help.
Hello Pawan,

Please replace the attached file ( frontpage.index.filters.php ) in ../components/com_easydiscuss/themes/simplistic/frontpage.index.filters.php. The if-else statement is at line 23. Hope this helps.

I replaced your file in my local host. But it didn't work.
It still loads all posts. Plus it shows css issues on tab. see attachment.

I tried this code: if $ gid == '11' then $ activeFilter = 'unanswered'
it makes the unanswered tab active, but loads posts from 'all posts ' only.

Hi

it makes the unanswered tab active, but loads posts from 'all posts ' only.
Does not load 'unanswered' posts.

Hello Pawan,

Sorry to say, I've re-checked the code and seems like it is not possible to load by usergroup as it will affect other file.
