Hi guys,

I want to show something, say a button, or execute code only if the user has specific level, like being the webmaster.

how/where can I check this?

Any example?

Put it into a block that is only visible by webmasters.

which included the following

Quote:

$groups = $xoopsUser->getGroups();

if (in_array(XOOPS_GROUP_ADMIN, $groups)) {
//User is in the administrators group
}



is fine for me.

Just one problem driving me crazy!

the line $groups = $xoopsUser->getGroups(); seems to make the page not work properly. The header and footer are no longer displayed....


If I comment out this line, the page (exept the code within the 'if') shows up correctly....

current includes are
include("../mainfile.php");
include("../header.php");

Any idea? Hints for digging it out?

Thanks.

the $xoopsUser variable only exists when a user is logged in. so if this page may be accessed by anonymous users you'll either need to check that the user logged in first, or you'll need to modify the code like so:
$groups = ($xoopsUser ? $xoopsUser->getGroups() : array(XOOPS_GROUP_ANONYMOUS));

if (in_array(XOOPS_GROUP_ADMIN, $groups)) {
  //User is in the administrators group
}

Also, make sure the block isn't cached. (Set "Cache lifetime" to "No Cache".)
