Display a forum block only to certain usergroups

I'm having a hard time doing this.

I've used an HTML content type with this, and no luck:

Code:

<vb:if condition="is_member_of($bbuserinfo, 1, 2, 3, 4, 15, 17)">

text

</vb:if>

And I've also tried this with no luck (want to display to everyone but 16):

Code:

<vb:if condition="!is_member_of($bbuserinfo, 16)">

text

</vb:if>

Can I modify permissions anywhere else for forum blocks since this isn't working for some reason? Thanks.

You can't use <vb:if... in html, only in a template. You could put your html in a template, make your widget PHP Direct Execution and use:

PHP Code:


		
			
$templater = vB_Template::create('my_template');

$output = $templater->render();

or you could use this code without making a template

PHP Code:


		
			
if (!is_member_of(vB::$vbulletin->userinfo, 16))

{

    $output = "<div> This is my html

blah blah

";

}

or you could put your html in a template and

Edit: I got it to work after playing with it a bit. It blocks all the content within the block, but it doesn't hide the block itself. How do I have it hide the block itself?

Thanks!

Oops...yeah, I'm not sure what problem you're having exactly, but I just realized that it won't work like that because of the caching. I'm not sure if there's a way to write a PHP type block that doesn't cache. I'll look in to it...

OK - should have thought of this before, sorry. Anyway, go back to using a static html widget. Copy the contents of the template vbcms_widget_static_page and create a new widget with the same contents but surround it with the 'if' tags, like

Code:

<vb:if condition="!is_member_of($bbuserinfo, 16)">

<div class="cms_widget">

        <div class="block">

                <div class="cms_widget_header">

                <h3><img src="{vb:stylevar imgdir_siteicons}/html.png" alt="" /> {vb:raw widget_title}</h3>

                </div>

                <div class="cms_widget_content_restore_widget_content">

                {vb:raw static_html}

                </div>

        </div>

</div>

</vb:if>

Save it with some new name, then configure your widget and put that template in as the template name and your html in the html box.

Would it be possible to have a Latest Threads forum block where a usergroup was shown latest threads for some forums and another usergroup was shown latest threads for other forums?

You would need code of some sort to make that work. I just reread this thread and realized that the original post asked about forum blocks and I was thinking widgets for some reason, so pjkcards, if you read this, sorry about that.
