Usergroup based content

[G_Gekko]

I want show content for a specific usergroup only. How do I do this. would adding

PHP Code:

if ($vbulletin->userinfo['usergroupid'] == '6' )
    {
    echo "This is only visible to people in usergroup 6";} 


in the template where I want the info to be shown work?

You can not use PHP in templates (HTML only).

But you can use a conditional:

<if condition="is_member_of($bbuserinfo,x)">
 Stuff for members of usergroup x
</if>

[G_Gekko]

So I simply replace the x with the usergroup #?

What if I want an else statement ?

[Marco van Herwaarden]

Yes the x should be replaced by the usergroupid.

You can add a <else />.

Thanks for the link and the help.

One more question. Is it possible to get the content in

PHP Code:

<if condition="is_member_of($bbuserinfo,x)">
 Stuff for members of usergroup x
</if> 


To be shown to the user only once a day

Anything is possible, it could be done. But would probably require a lot more work then a template edit, the exact nature of which I'm not sure.

[G_Gekko]

Ok. In that case. Is there a way I can show the content on the index page only by editing the template.

PS thanks to both of you for helping me.

Have you looked into maybe using the "Notices" feature?

[G_Gekko]

Yes but it doesn´t do what I want.
