Post by: snark on June 18, 2010, 07:36:20 PM

Try this:

Code: [Select]


<?php
// check if user is logged in
  if ($wb->is_authenticated()){
    $groups = $wb->get_groups_name();
    //check if user is part of _Usergroupname_
    if(in_array(&#39;_Usergroupname_&#39;, $groups)) {
        
        echo "I&#39;m logged in, and I am member of group _Usergroupname_";
       
    }else{
        
        echo ""; //nothing
        
    }
  }
should work.

Let me know.

yeah, but now I have to put it into the loop of the downloadmodule ...

I guess it has to be a droplet because I cannot put php code into the loop

Have you considered to hide this part with CSS?

solved it ...


I made two droplets one called "downloadcountstart"   the other one called "downloadcountend"

Code: [Select]

global $database, $wb;
if ($wb->is_authenticated() ) {                   
return 'downloads: ';
}
else {
return '<!--';
}

Code: [Select]

global $database, $wb;
if ($wb->is_authenticated() ) {                   
return '|';
}
else {
return '-->';
}



after that I made a change to the loop in the downloadmodule settings-tab

I changed "downloads: [DL] |" to: "[[downloadcountstart]] [DL] [[downloadcountend]]"


this way it only is shown to a user that is logged in, for all regular visitors it is not shown
