Thread

I’m not finding too much information on this particular subject.

I’m interested in setting up my visitors viewing experience based on the Member Group they’ve been assigned to; e.g:

If not logged in - users will see a default view and have limited access with some sections requiring user login prior to viewing.

If logged in - users will see the default view plus have additional access to sections designed for their particular Member Group.

Does EE have a built in ability to evaluate for Member Group Name, or will I be evaluating for the"group_id”? Can this be done via EE conditionals, or will this have to be achieved with some additional PHP?

I’ve found only one thread here that discusses an issue fairly close to what I’d like to accomplish. Could someone shed some light on this for me.

Thanks Much!

I apologize, I should have probably posted this thread to the How-to forum.

There’s a global variable named {member_group} which holds the member group_id of the currently logged-in user.

So something like this should work for you:

{if member_group == "5"}
  If he belongs to Member Group 5 do this.
{if:elseif member_group == "6"}
  If he belongs to Member Group 6 do this.
{if:else}
  Else do this.
{/if}

Thanks,

This will be very helpful.
