I can use <{if $xoops_admin}> to display content only to admins.

I can use <{if $xoops_user}> to display content for logged in users.

My question::I have 5 UserGroups, and want to display parts of a block, only for specific groups. While I could just create different blocks and assign access rights to the groups, that are suppose to see them, this solution would be a hack, and ignores the power of a CMS.

To be more specific::I am trying to create a site specific User Menu. What I want to have/know, is a/the variable for the if clause!

Does anyone know how I could achieve the desired outcome, in a clean coded manner?

Thanks Dave for your reply, though I hadn't noticed earlier, as I forgot to tick notify....

The link you provided is a php solution, I was looking more for a Smarty solution.

I tried this, after checking the Smarty doc's:

...to no avail....

Can someone explain why? By the way, I also tried unquoting the group variable.

Where is the value assigned to the variable $group?
