Checking Member Group?

[Jibba Jabbas]

Basically in the navigation bar i would like a "staff" button which leads to a staff area but obviously i only want staff to see this. So what would the if statement look like? I've looked through some of the php files and i can't find anything.

Anybody know the variable for member group or do i have to pull it out the database myself and make a variable from it :(

Also my navigation bar is edited in the "all style options" and can't be done through the navigation template (that's the way the skins made...)

Thanks in advance!
