Display icon if user is n a specific user group

[eviljoker7075]

Can anyone help with a bit of code. I would like to add an icon in the postbit template next to a users post if the poster is in a specific user group.

Is this possible?

The closest I've got so far is:
<vb:if condition="is_member_of($bbuserinfo, 6)">Icon here</vb:if>

But that just shows the icon next to all posts if the user you're logged in as is within that group.

Try:
<vb:if condition="$post['usergroupid'] == 6">Icon</vb:if>

Or, how about just using Ranks?

Try:
<vb:if condition="$post['usergroupid'] == 6">Icon</vb:if>

Thanks, does that work for additional usergroups too, or is there a different way of checking that?

I don't really want to use the user ranks as I want to expand this to more than just a line under the username, to include other features later down the line - but the thought did cross my mind :)

Ah, I think I found it!

<vb:if condition="is_member_of($post,6)">Icon</vb:if>

For additional usergroups try $post['membergroupids']

Both of those work - is either better on performance etc?

I don't think either would have that much effect on performance. But your way would be tidier since that searches both the normal usergroups and additional usergroups =]

Excellent, thank you very much for your help :)
