How to stop Groups link showing in navbar to unregistered users

[Macsee]

vB 4.1.9

Unregistered users and some other usergroups don't have access to Groups.php. But it still shows to them in the navbar (there's a link there to Groups). How do I stop it showing to these users? Thanks.

<vb:if condition="$bbuserinfo['userid'] != 0">
//show the code
</vb:if>

Thanks, Revelence, but where do I insert this if condition? In the navbar template? Any particular location in that template?

You should see a link for the groups in the navbar template and you would put that condition around it. The link is probably something like:

<vb:if condition="$show['quick_links_groups']">
<li><a href="{vb:link grouphome}">{vb:rawphrase social_groups}</a></li>
</vb:if>

(Are you sure it is showing for usergroups that have no permission to see the social groups? that condition implies otherwise.)

Thanks for pointing me to where it is.

I moved this:

<li><a href="group.php{vb:raw session.sessionurl_q}">{vb:rawphrase social_groups}</a></li>

to within the

<vb:if condition="$show['pmmainlink']">
<li><a href="private.php{vb:raw session.sessionurl_q}" rel="nofollow">{vb:rawphrase private_messages}</a></li>
</vb:if>

and now the Groups link shows to only those to whom the Private Message link shows ... which does the main job of blocking the Groups links from unregistered visitors.
