Hiding Elements

[Varsh]

Currently I've been trying to create a completely new style however despite being able to create and display templates fine, hiding elements from users and other usergroups just doesn't seem to work for some reason. If I put all of the elements in a new template it won't work, however putting them in the navbar element works.

Is there something I need to put into the plugin to get the elements to hide? Putting the code in the navbar will not work for this style so putting code in the navbar isn't really an option.

Any help is appreciated.

I have tried:

<if condition="$show['member']">

and:

<if condition="$show['admincplink']">

without any success so...
