Custom PHP Block Accessing Group Info

I've built a custom PHP block that I'm using to dynamically create a "Quick Links" feature for my users. We need to access our internal site differently depending on if you are in front of or behind the firewall. This is all working great.

The next step though is to change the link depending on if the XOOPS user is in a specific group (i.e., "management" vs. "sales"). Is it possible somehow to have the custom PHP block be able to determine is the current user is in a specific group?

Thanks

Re: Custom PHP Block Accessing Group Info

global $xoopsUser;
$groups = $xoopsUser ? $xoopsUser->getGroups() : array(XOOPS_GROUP_ANONYMOUS);

if (in_array($group_id_you_want_to_check, $groups)) {
//show links
}

Thanks Mithrandir! I've got to spend some time in the developer documentation!

I'm having a problem getting all user groups though. When I run the following code ...

global $xoopsUser;
$groups = $xoopsUser ? $xoopsUser->getGroups() : array(XOOPS_GROUP_ANONYMOUS);

print_r($groups);


I only get the first three groups. Here's what I get as output ...

Array ( [0] => 1 [1] => 2 [2] => 4 )


I know the user is in five groups ... the last two are the ones I'm using to check. Any ideas?

Thanks
