Hi

I found and modified a piece of code so I can hide links from users.. but members in a group will be able to see them..

this is the code...

in includes/page_header.php

Code: [Hide] [Select]

  $sql = 'SELECT * FROM ' . USER_GROUP_TABLE . ' 

      WHERE group_id=USER GROUP ID HERE

         AND user_id=' . $userdata['user_id'] . ' 

         AND user_pending=0 

      LIMIT 1'; 

$is_vip = 0; 

if (($result = $db->sql_query($sql)) != FALSE) 

	{

   $is_vip = $db->sql_numrows($result); 

   $db->sql_freeresult($result); 

	}

if ($is_vip == 0)

	{

   $template->assign_block_vars('non_vips_only', array()); 

	}

and in the tpl file you need it

Code: [Hide] [Select]

	
<!-- BEGIN non_vips_only --> 

CODE HERE

<!-- END non_vips_only -->

This works great for one group but I have tried and failed so it allows 2 groups...

in the code you have USER GROUP ID HERE where you can place one group id.. I thought if you added a comma and then the second group id it would work but it does not....

I am at a bit of a loss as how to do this, and I would appreciate any help anyone could offer..

Thanks

How did you get it working?

it was for a specific mod that is not included in vanilla icy... and someone on the mods site had posted a solution...

Sadly the code above will only work for one group.. but is still usable if you want to only show links to a certain group
