I need help showing and unshowing profile fields

[Bjornicus]

I want to have an individual usergroup (usergroup 1) that would have a field option like "interests" for the individual's profile. Then I want to have a organization usergroup (usergroup 2), but they would not receive the "interests" field as an option for their profile because it would be irrelevant.

I have pieced together this php code, but i still cant get it to work.

<vb:if condition="is_member_of($bbuserinfo) == 9?> {vb:raw userinfo.field6} </vb:if>
<vb:else condition="is_member_of($bbuserinfo) != 9?> {unset($userinfo.field6)} </vb:if>

I have tried it in two different templates.
memberinfo_block_aboutme
memberinfo_profilefield


Can someone please help me out. All the research I have done seems more geared toward vb version 3 and does not work either. Such as:

Restrict some profile fields to specific usergroup

Any help is greatly appreciated!

You're not using is_member_of() correctly

is_member_of($bbuserinfo, 9)

or for several groups;

is_member_of($bbuserinfo, array(4,5,6,7))

I'm not 100% sure you can use that function in a template conditional though

$bbsuserinfo is a global template variable. I am not sure if it is populated with valid data to every template, but it is accessible. Function "is_member_of" is an already declared "safe function". So if you use Nerbert's example of how to use the function is_member_of correctly it should work.

I search my own templates and found I used it in showthread...

    <vb:if condition="is_member_of($bbuserinfo, array(2,18))">
        {vb:debugvardump $bbuserinfo}    <!-- Do not put this line in your code... It will not work. I left it here so you could see where I the output was generated from -->
    </vb:if>

In this case if the user was a member of primary usergroup '2' and secondary usergroup '18' the code would execute.


OUTPUT:

var_dump: $bbuserinfoarray(213) {   ["userid"]=>   string(2) "10"   ["temp"]=>   NULL   ["field1"]=>   string(0) ""   ["field2"]=>   string(0) ""   ["field3"]=>   string(0) "" ...

Thank you both nerbert and tbworld for responding. I played around with what you gave me but it seems to be a little over my head. I think I am just going to have to post a paid service request.
