Thread

I have a couple of sections on my site that I would like to dynamically display content based on the member group of the currently logged in user. I plan on setting up categories that correspond to the different member groups to display this information.

The problem I am having is trying to create some relationship between the member_group id and the category id/name. Maybe there is better way to go about this but I am at a loss.

Any help would be great.

Thanks.

You can use a simple condition of:
{if member_group =='2'}
In other words…you don’t necessarily need to mirror the cat name = group name just use the condition to build your category parameters....on top of my head:

{if member_group =='2'}
 {exp:weblog:entries weblog="my_weblog" category="2|7|9"...}
{/if}
{if member_group =='7'}
 {exp:weblog:entries weblog="my_weblog" category="12|17|19"...}
{/if}
  {title}
  {body}
 {/exp:weblog:entries}

I was hoping to avoid doing it this way seeing as I will have 30-40 member groups. That is why I want to build it out dynamically.

Well, this is dynamically 😊
There has to be some logical trigger…that is set.
Can you use the logic of if member_group >= 10 or something that will eliminate differentiating each member group? Otherwise, I am afraid you will have to test for as many conditions.

There was also a plugin that allows you to pull member_id of logged in user that use can use in sql query if you want to write something raw…
