member group memberships

[nightware]

How can I tell  if a the current user is a member af a certain member group?

I have added a new "regular group" on the manage membergroups page, and now I would like to make a button in the menu bar, that is visible to members of that particular group.

Plz help =)

You need the id number of that group - for example, 9.

Then, you do this:
$is_in_group = in_array(9, $user_info['groups']);

So, for example:
if (in_array(9, $user_info['groups']))
   echo 'You are special!';

Warning: in_array(): Wrong datatype for second argument in **********************/index.template.php on line 454

Code Select Expand

// Zona master
if (in_array(22, $user_info['groups']))

look what is in your $user_info['groups']:

echo '<pre>';
print_r($user_info['groups']);
echo '</pre>';

In this profile:

Array
(
    [0] => 1
    [1] => 4
    [2] => 22
)

The problem is than if I type:

Code Select Expand


if (in_array(22, $user_info['groups']))
   echo 'You are special!';


in index.php (home of the portal using SSI)

it types 'You are special'

But if I type (in index.template.php):

Code Select Expand


if (in_array(22, $user_info['groups']))
echo '
<a href="http://www.dracomiconia.com/nuevaweb/zona_master/">', ($settings['use_image_buttons'] ? '<img src="' . $settings['images_url'] . '/' . $context['user']['language'] . '/masters.gif" alt="' . $txt[103] . '" style="margin: 2px 0;" border="0" />' : $txt[103]), '</a>', $context['menu_separator'];



The output is:

Code Select Expand


Warning: in_array(): Wrong datatype for second argument in /xxxxxxx/xxxxxxx/xxxxxxxx/nuevaweb/foro/Themes/Dracomiconia/index.template.php on line 454


I have tried if {
} else {
}

clause, too

Update to Firefox 0.9 if you experience that problem, please.

For the template, use $GLOBALS['user_info']['groups'].
