Get member group names from member id
Hi,

I'm using the GetGroupsByMemberId method to output the names of the groups to which a particular member belongs. However, I'm not sure what this returns in terms of specific XML structure, so I'm not sure how to parse the output into a list of group names.

I have this:
```
<xsl:variable name="memberId" select="number(umbraco.library:GetCurrentMember()/@id)"/>
<p>The current member id is: <xsl:value-of select="$memberId"/></p>
<p>The groups this member belongs to are:</p>
<xsl:variable name="memberGroups" select="ucomponents.members:GetGroupsByMemberId($memberId)"/>
```
I've tried outputting the value of $memberGroups inside a textarea, but it doesn't output anything.

Does anyone know how to output a list of group names from this?

Thanks

Hi Dan,

Hmmm... starting to think that there's a bug in there somewhere? Haven't had chance to debug the code yet - will do soon!

As for the XML, it should look like this...
```
<memberGroups>
    <memberGroup>Group Name 1</memberGroup>
    <memberGroup>Group Name 2</memberGroup>
</memberGroups>
```
I'll let you know what I find with my debugging.

Cheers, Lee.

No need to debug Lee, it works. Just me being very stupid! :)

Put it this way... members need to be assigned to member groups ;) Yes - utterly shameful! Found this after I'd pulled apart uComponents and written my own version of the extension, for it not to work either. I can't even blame lack of sleep at the moment as the kids are away. Doh!

Well, that's made me smile! Only in a "been there, done that" kinda way! :-)
