Restricting access to pages based on membergroup

[james78]

Hi wonder if someone can help me.
I have a website which uses SSI to bring in the forum information to show certain things etc..
My question is I have used   if ($context['user']['is_guest'])     or     if ($context['user']['is_logged'])  to show or hide content on my website but I wondered if there is a way to hide content based on membergroup.

What i am trying to do is retrieve just the latest post from a board which is only viewable on forum to a certain membergroup but if they are not in that group then it will display a message saying you need to be in membergroup to view.

I hope someone can help or help with some code.

forum version is 2 rc3

many thanks in advance
