Efficient Group check in a module?

A side effect of 2.0.7.1 is that Shoutbox now correctly only shows the Clear button for Admins.

Can I replace the isAdmin() check with a group check? It needs to be as efficient as isAdmin. If I can check for one group those members will then see the Clear button for example.

$groups = $xoopsUser ? $xoopsUser->getGroups : array(XOOPS_GROUP_ANONYMOUS);
if (in_array($desired_group, $groups)) {
    //User is in desired group
}

$xoopsUser->getGroups runs without database calls as the user's groups are saved in a Session variable. $desired_group can be either a hard-coded value or you can add it to the block options.

Ah thanks, I think that is exactly what I'm looking for. I can lookup the groupid in the db and use that with this function.

Thanks again!
