Check if User is in Usergroup (PHP)

[chsmith700]

Hello,

I am writing a custom script and having some issues verifying if a user is in a usergroup, not in the template file but in the PHP. I tried this but it doesnt seem to be working correctly, What am I doing wrong?

if ($userinfo['usergroupid'] == 6) {
somestuff
} else {
someotherstuff
}

I tried just doing an echo '<vb:if condition=\"is_member_of($vbulletin->userinfo, 6)\">' statement but when I do that is displays in the source an array.

if (is_member_of($vbulletin->userinfo, 6)) {
somestuff
} else {
someotherstuff
}

Could this be used to enable style selection for certain (sub) usergroups only?

I wonder if this should work in the forum Blocks area?
I have the following:-

if (is_member_of($vbulletin->userinfo, 6)) {
$my_output = '';
} else {
$my_output = ' google adsence code......';
}
return $my_output;

However no matter what usergroup I choose the advertising is always displayed. 6 is Admin usergroup and I am admin. I choose usergroup 1 for not logged in, and try that without being logged in, but it still displays the advertising.
I know its not a cached issue, as I just popped in some test text, and that was displayed.

Try adding the following to the top of your Content (PHP code)

global $vbulletin;
