Problem With $user_info in My index.template.php File

[bneacetp]

I am trying to use the code below to check to see if the visitor is a member of a certain member group.  If the user is, I want some HTML to be echo'ed out.  For some reason, it seems as though the condition below fails.  I am a member of the member group that is being checked for so that can't be it.  Anyway, here is the basic code that I am trying to get to work.

Code Select Expand

if(in_array(20, $user_info['groups']))
{
      echo '[...]';
}

Anyone have any suggestions that might resolve this issue?  Thanks in advance. 

*edit* by the way, I am using SMF 1.1 RC2.

make sure $user_info is in the list of global variables.  So at the beginning of the function you should see something like:

global $context, $txt, $settings;

If $user_info isn't in that list just add it in.

Thanks.  That did it.
