JUser Object problem - JFactory::getUser()

[valix05]

First of all sorry if this problem has been mentioned previously, search function is down at this moment.

Problem description

I am using the JFactory::getUser() method to get the JUser Object so that later I can read the "groups" property.

The problem in Joomla 2.5.1 is that groups now returns an array with numbers for indexes like this:

Code: Select all

    
[groups] => Array
        (
            [8] => 8
            [9] => 9
        )

The same piece of code returned in Joomla 1.6.X, 1.7.X:

Code: Select all

    [groups] => Array
        (
            [Super Users] => 8
            [MyGroup] => 9
        )

The code to test this (in a component controller):

Code: Select all

	function test()
	{
		$user = JFactory::getUser();      
		echo "<pre>";    
		print_r($user);
		echo "</pre>";
		exit;
	}

So my problem is that in Joomla 2.5.1 I can't read the user groups name directly.

Looking forward for your feedback. Maybe it's just a problem by me.
