hidden link

[switch]

Just a quick question. I would like to have a few links in my nav, but I would like certain links to only be shown either to mods or admins. I would like the link to show based on there group. How would I do this.

Thanks in advance

Ok, I did a quick put together of code here and I havn't tested it so :S
First off goto your templates and goto the template named phpincludes

at the very bottom put:

//if admin
if ($bbuserinfo['userid'] == 6) 
{ 
//show this button
$specialnav = '<a href="url"><img src="{imagesfolder}/adminimage.gif" alt="hover text" border="0"></a>'; 
} 

//like above, the number is equal to the usergroup - this next one is if moderator
if ($bbuserinfo['userid'] == 7) 
{ 
//then show this image
$specialnav = '<a href="url"><img src="{imagesfolder}/modimage.gif" alt="hover text" border="0"></a>'; 
}

Change the needed items to fit your need and put the $specialnav where you want the image
you can also change the == to < or > if you want a certain range of users to have a certain image.
good luck ^_^

You can check which usergroupid's belong to which group in the Usergroup manager. Hover over the edit link and check your statusbar...

By default, vB2 creates:

admins = usergroupid 6
moderators = usergroupid 7
supermods = usergroupid 5
members = usergroupdi 2

oh, and the template is phpinclude, no s

Thanks for the quick replies. I guess I should have mentioned this part. I wanted to do it from a non-vb page. I wanted to do something like this:

<?php if ((isset($_SESSION['usergroupid'])) && ($_SESSION['usergroupid']==3)) { ?>

Bascially if the usergroupid matches the users group the link would show. What would be the best way to go about this.

Thanks again

Search for vbtemplates, it allows you to make vBulletin powered pages, and you can call variables with it.
