Plugin PHP Code:

PHP Code:

$current_thread = $thread['threadid'];

$query = $vbulletin->db->query_first_slave("
    SELECT user.usergroupid, user.membergroupids
    FROM " . TABLE_PREFIX . "thread AS thread
    LEFT JOIN " . TABLE_PREFIX . "user AS user ON (user.userid = thread.firstpostid)
    WHERE thread.threadid = " . $current_thread . "
    ");
    
$primary_group = $query['usergroupid'];
$secondary_groups = $query['membergroupids'];

if(!empty($secondary_groups)) {
    $groups = $primary_group . "," . $secondary_groups;
} else {
    $groups = $primary_group;
}    
$groups_all = explode(",", $groups);

vB_Template::preRegister('threadbit',array('group' => $groups_all)); 


then in template threadbit

You could do

<vb:if condition="in_array(6, $group)">This thread starter is in admin group</vb:if>

The 6 being the group you want to check, and this example 6 is the Administrator group.

This checks the primary and additional groups of a thread starter.
