Usergroup Titles?

[johnmont]

I can't seem to figure out an easier way to get the title of a user group for a user in a plugin. I've got:

$thegroup=$vbulletin->userinfo[usergroupid];

$result = $db->query_first("
SELECT * FROM " . TABLE_PREFIX . " usergroup
WHERE usergroupid = $thegroup");

$grouptitle = $result['title'];

Is there a built-in variable some where that makes this easy? Not that this was hard, but something like

$vbulletin->userinfo[usergrouptitle];
