checking usergroups

[dethfire]

how do I check for a members usergroup, I want to make my ads only appear for certain usergroups

[Xenon]

the is_member_of function may help ya :)

[dethfire]

can I use that in a template?

like I want:

if (!is_member_of("gold"))
{

// display ads

}

Is that right?

[Xenon]

yes you should be able to use it in a template.

but instead of the 'gold' you have to use the usergroupid of the usergroup

[dethfire]

hmmm well, this did not work, I wanted the ads to show for every usergroup except group10

<if condition="!is_member_of($post, 10)">

so then I tried to set an array for the if to affect all usergroups besides 1o, still didn't work

<if condition="is_member_of($post, array(1, 2, 3, 9))">

how can I accomplish this?

Xenon, how to check usergroups in template conditions ?

[Xenon]

// ###################### Start is member of #######################
// returns true/false if a $userinfo belongs to $usergroupid
// $userinfo must contain (userid, usergroupid, membergroupids)
function is_member_of($userinfo, $usergroupid)

it's self explaining commented i think :)

sorry for my bad but I still didn't understand how yet.
I actually want to check if usergroup id = 6 ( admin ), then it will display an image showing that user belong to admin group. Same for that to my Fan Club Group.

[Xenon]

<if condition="is_member_of($post, specific id here)"><img....</if>

[deathemperor]

kooool !
It worked !
Thank you so much Xenon !

[Xenon]

:)

you're welcome

[deathemperor]

erm
how about checking if someone's id is 202 (mean Xenon ^^) ?

[Xenon]

then you've to use an condition $post[userid] == xx

[deathemperor]

hmm, Wayne Luke has just showed me that I should use:
<if (in_array($bbuserinfo['usergroupid'], array (4,5,6)))>

[deathemperor]

Thanks alot Xenon, yours works but not Wayne Luke's
and with an <else /> I'm getting more fun ^^
I've actually tried $post[userid] = xx, but yes, I miss one '=' >_<. darn, how could I be that bad
