postbit buttons question

I want to write a hack that displays a button or not in the postbit buttons (usually under the post) depeneding on what usergroup the person that posted the message is in.

I've looked at showthread.php, but if I add a function in here and create a new variable that contains the button I want to create, how can I reference that in postbit template?

you have to edit functions.php in the adminfolder...

goto section getpostbit and there you can add the variables, then in the postbit template just put $variable where you want to have it and all should work

Thanks for the reply.

We're using the techimo portfolio system and if the user is in the portfolio users group I want to place a button to that person's portfolio at the bottom of their posts (with the pm, homepage, aim, etc. buttons)
