How to hide links(url links) that I don't want certain members based on membergroups?

I already posted it at SP and it's worth posting here too.

You could always start from modifying the Registered Links mod...

I don't want a mod, just the html code for the block.

Let's look at my signatures for example where you see three links that link to SD, DP, SA.

One membergroup can see whole 3 links and the others can only see one.

Yes.... to do that is a modification of the URL bbcode, the foundation of which is the Registered Links mod. There's absolutely no way in just HTML to do it, so it has to be done in SMF itself in a modification of the bbcode somehow.

Ahh, not what i am looking for, it would be something simliar to this
Code Select
'show' => !$user_info['is_guest'],
But membergroups.

So it would hide invisible to certain membergroups.

There are some groups I have created. Let's said that regular group can see one link in the block, Charter membergoup can see 3 links only visible to them.

And what ids would these groups have? What rules are around them being visible or not?

ids are 16, 17, 20.  Because I don't want to create another block, I as admin, will see 2 blocks. So that's why I want to do it in one block

Bear in mind we're talking about the url bbcode in general, so it applies equally to all links.

Those links link to a hidden private board only for certain membergroup, namely Charter. If it was visible which other membergroup doesn't have a access, it will return a error. "You are a not allow to access the board or is off limit to you" blah, blah.

You understand now?

I do but I don't see how you can possibly implement it without more work.

A link is a link is a link. You have to somehow indicate that a link should be hidden, because otherwise it's just [url=destination]text[/url]. Something needs to be in there to tell it on a per link basis to show/hide it, the solution I talked about applies to every link.

BBC might work but since portal block does not have this. (SP)
What about this:

Something to do with 'show' true or false?
Code Select
if ($type == 'block' && $id == 1)

to
Code Select
if ($type == 'group' && $id == 1)

Sorry, I am no coder.  :-[

I dunno really, just giving it idea.
This is a example:
Code Select
<a href="http://www.simplemachines.org/community/index.php?topic=372389.0">Charter</a>
We can hide this link with a BBC based on membergroup id.

But it will not work unless some knows the html or BBC code that hides and invisible to everyone expect the id.

* Dismal Shadow is confused

tag around the code I provide above me.

Doesn't work like that.

There are two ways this can go, something in the URL bbcode:
Code Select
[url show=16,17,20 url=address]link[/url]

Or we create a custom tag:
Code Select
[charter][url=address]text[/url][/charter]

I already sorta did that in Guest and Member Tag mod that Robbo now maintains.

Ummm...This might work.

Problem is it use html in the block

Code Select
<a href="http://www.simplemachines.org/community/index.php?topic=372389.0">Charter</a> | <a href="http://www.simplemachines.org/community/index.php?topic=372389.0">Moderator's Hideout</a>

Can you use raw PHP?

If you're limited to basic HTML, there is NO way of doing it within the block itself.
