Hide something from specified Usergroups

[mclark2112]

I'm sure it is quick and easy, but I'm no programmer.

I am running Adsense ads in my templates with just the straight Google code. I want to just put a couple variables around the ad script so it does not show to certain usergroups, can someone help?

To remove your Adsense from the view of certain usergroups, you can simply use a conditional in your templates. Just place this around your code you wish to remove from the view of your usergroups....

<if condition="!is_member_of($vbulletin->userinfo, 1, 2, 3)"></if>

And replace "1, 2, 3" with the usergroups you do NOT want to show the ads to.

Trying to use a slight modification of this for the code block template

I have:

<if condition="is_member_of($vbulletin->userinfo, 2, 5, 6, 7)">
is member
</if>

<if condition="!is_member_of($vbulletin->userinfo, 2, 5, 6, 7)">
is not member
</if>

Also tried this

<if condition="is_member_of($vbulletin->userinfo, 2, 5, 6, 7)">
is member
<else />
is not member
</if>

and finally this

<if condition="is_member_of($bbuserinfo, 2, 5, 6, 7)">
is member
<else />
is not member
</if>

Problem is that guests still see "is member". or registered users see is_not_member (depends on which one)

guests are not logged in and should be group 1 and thus should hit the second if clause.

registered and logged in should be group 2 and hit first one.


any ideas?

You could try

<if condition="$show['member']">
is member
<else />
is not member
</if>

or

<if condition="$show['guest']">
is not member
<else />
is member
</if>

I'm not sure if you can use those variables in all templates, though.

Not sure why your code isn't working. I'm tired though.

You could also try this:

<if condition="is_member_of($bbuserinfo, 2, 5, 6, 7)">
is member
<else />
<if condition="is_member_of($bbuserinfo, 1)">
is not member
</if>
</if>

It's redundant, but if the "is not member" code is still showing to members then something is wrong.

Very cool, I will try tonight.

Thank You all for the help.
