Hi,

I'm trying to determine a users groups in my theme so that specific elements can be visible or not based on group permission.

The problem I have, is whenever I try and access $xoopsUser the result is a blank page.

Here is what I'm attempting:



Theoreticly, this should produce an array ($Groups) as long as the user is logged in, but in reality it's breaking my theme. (white page) If I remove $Groups = $xoopsUser->getGroups(); and put anything else in there, such as static text, it works exactly as I expect... the text is display as long as I'm logged in.

Is there a trick I need to use to have access to $xoopsUser, or an alternative 'theme approved' method of determining specific group access?

Does this thread maybe help?

$xoops_isadmin, $xoops_isuser, but $xoops_?
