Had a thought, If you use this method from the template edit. (Speaking in 3.5x edits.)
2. Go to 'Style Manager' and in the 'Navbar' template:
Find:
<!-- / nav buttons bar -->
Then if you use THIS instead of whats there now...
Add Below:

<if condition="is_member_of($bbuserinfo, X)">
<else />
$menucontrol
</if>

Replace "X" with your usergroup ID you want to show it, that may work too, Thoughts? I mean it should be good for users who want just 1 usergroup like a "Premium" paid susbscription or a special usergroup to gain access to it. Which on THAT navbar, maybe use it for your special groups content. In theory it should work, Im gonna try later.

almost positive its a different phrase for membergroups. Might want to look it up before you test it.

UGH, I forgot something important... darn it! The code I gave would mean its checking to see if a user is in group "x" meaning unless you use a "Primary" usergroup system to have users be assigned to either regular usergroup or premium. It wont work. Cause you see, if you make "X" be your regular usergroup, it would mean anyone who is not in that group, would see the 2nd nav bar.

However.. if your like my setup right now... Secondary usergroups would fail on this code... since Registered AND Premium would be flagged... making them fall into the wrong group.

But for those using primary system only.. guess this would work.

As for the can moderate thing. That would mean the variable is only aimed toward a user with a moderate ability, has nothing to do what usergroup they are in.

[Neo_obs]

true I knew that I was thinking on the lines of if you wanted a special navbar for your moderators and staff.

Only thing I would love is usergroup settings, to choose which usergroups could see the 2nd nav bar. Thanks. If you have that, I will use on our large community. =)

It's in the pipeline
