Is there a global variable for groups in Xoops?

I have some content that I want to prevent users not within specific groups from looking at. ALthough WFSections or something like that is an option, to make URLs simpler, as well as more control, I would rather force authentication based upon a callable variable.

I am able to require that the user logs in to see static content, per the following thread.

I would think that it'd be an easy call to a global variable. I have found the following call in ./includes/common.php. Presumably this is an array:

If this is the case, than i think the code would be something like this:

What do you all think?

edit: I had in_array variables backwards.

rather than calling $xoopsUser->getGroups() for each iteration of the for loop, I would store the group array into a local variable first. Other than that, the code should work fine.

ackbarr: makes sense.

I have implemented this, and just so it is documented in the forums so someone else can find this with a search, the code I used was the following:

I found that if I did not include the if(!empty($xoopsUser)) test, than no content would be displayed at all if the user wasn't logged in.

Right, the evul "Call to a member function..." error

How about more then 1 group? Or adding more Group id's to that code?
