Ahh... OK, well that will never work with social groups.

Luckily however vBulletin has a built in feature, publicly joinable usergroups that should work exactly as you describe.

In your Usergroup manager in Admin CP, make a new usergroup based off of registered users. Set the option to make it a publicly joinable usergroup. Call it "Hidden Toolbar" or whatever.

Members can join it via the User CP -> Group Memberships

And then you can use the standard condition:

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

Where X is the usergroup you made.


OR... now that I've typed that out... The "right" way of doing this would be using a Custom Profile Field.

In Admin CP make a New Custom Profile Field... Basically a "Yes/No" option to turn on/off the toolbar...

Then you would use a condition like:

<vb:if condition="$bbuserinfo['fieldX'] == 'Yes' ">

Where X is the field # assigned by vBulletin.

I can give you more details on this if you think it will work for your needs.
