  Hi,
  Would it be possible to change the membership group listing to (additionally):
  
  1. Count the number of groups, then:
     a. If under a threshold (to be determined), display the way it does now
     b. If over the threshold, sort the array, then display one group per line
  
  2. Adjust the AD (LDAP) lookup for the membership groups to allow for commas in the group names (common in my AD setup at least).
  
  I have some working code for another AD tool I use (pseudocode attached as reference, sorry for the bad coding).
  
  Not a high priority, but easier to read when there's a large number of groups. I've already updated my inc/infoutils.php on lines 195-201 as:
  
     if($INFO['userinfo']['name']){
         sort($INFO['userinfo']['grps']);
         msg('You are currently logged in as '.$_SERVER['REMOTE_USER'].' ('.$INFO['userinfo']['name'].')',0);
         msg('You are part of the groups '.join($INFO['userinfo']['grps'],',<br> '),0);
     }else{
         msg('You are currently not logged in',0);
     }
  
  If this is better suited for a plugin, let me know.
  
  Thanks.

  1. about displaying many groups:
  - How many groups do you have?
  - When you have many groups, the info box is elongated too much, isn't? Is that not bad as well for keeping overview at the other info?
  
  
  2. How is the AD(LDAP) now affected by groups with comma's?
  - can you provide some samples of the data? (e.g. var_dump() of the the relevant info)
  - which functions of dokuwiki are broken?

  groupnames with commas:
  The default $INFO['userinfo']['grps'] is already an array. So no need for splitting at the commas.
  When the $INFO['userinfo']['grps'] is not populated correctly, please file a new bug for that AD backend.
  
  listing:
  I think that the current listing is a compact and clear listing. Use of alternative listings will take too much space, an that is too much attention, for information that not that many people concern.
