quick question.

Currently I am developing some proprietary modules for my site, and have a question.

is there a way to check for membership in a certain group?

such as having a special button only a member of the leaders group would see.

forgive me if this is posted on the wrong forum.


Thanks

Wow I was hoping I would have got some sort of answer..

I was hoping there was actually a smarty variable that I could test to accomplish this..

if anyone could help it would be appreciated..

Re: quick question.

Not in smarty, I believe - but if you are in the module files (not blocks) you can use the $xoopsUser->isAdmin($xoopsModule->getVar('mid')) to set a smarty variable like this:
$ismoduleadmin = 0;
if ($xoopsUser->isAdmin($xoopsModule->getVar('mid'))) {
    $ismoduleadmin = 1;
}
$xoopsTpl->assign('moduleadmin', $ismoduleadmin);

Then you can use it in the smarty template.

I am not looking to see if the intended user is an admin or not, I am only looking to find out if he belongs to a certain group. and if he does belong to the group then display a button or whatever, but only members of that group would see the information..


oh and thanks for your response..

Re: quick question.

Right - forget my own head next

$xoopsUser->getGroups() fetches the groups a user belongs to, which you can search through for the one, you particularly want to give extra access.

If this is a more full-fletched solution, you are making, I'd recommend that you look into the Group Permissions features.
