This question may be related to a resolved thread.

How do I specify multiple member groups to check if if they are logged in?

this produces errors -

{if logged_in_member_group == "1" OR logged_in_member_group == "5" OR logged_in_member_group == "6" OR logged_in_member_group == "7"}Welcome {username} {/if}

also is it possible to print their firstname ( am member field)rather than username?

Any ideas on this ? doesn’t seem to work. Something wrong in my syntax?

{if logged_in_member_group == “1” OR logged_in_member_group == “5” OR logged_in_member_group == “6” OR logged_in_member_group == “7”}Welcome {username} {/if}

Hi stevo_s,

Try the following:

{if logged_in AND (member_group == “1” OR member_group == “5” OR member_group == “6” OR member_group == “7”)}
Welcome {username}
{/if}

Thank you,

Mike

Hello stevo_s,

Please try our Mike’s suggestion. Checking to see if user is logged in first should do it.

Please let us know how it goes.

Cheers,

I just get this error -

expressionengine/libraries/Functions.php(656) : eval()‘d code on line 61

{if logged_in AND (member_group == "1" OR member_group =="5")} Welcome {username} {/if}Welcome {username}

Please try our Mike’s suggestion. Checking to see if user is logged in first should do it.

I’m wondering why checking to see if the user is logged in is needed. If they aren’t logged in, wouldn’t their member group be set to 3 anyway (guest)?

Just want to be sure I’m not missing something that could cause grief (I’ve checked for member_group alone before and it seemed OK).

Thanks!

Are there problems pasting into a text editor from the ee forum on mac?
I always seem to end up with curly quotes and odd spaces.

member_group == “1”

Should there be a blank space between member_group and ==
and between == and “1” ?

well the idea as suggested from the related thread is for a bit of security that even if someone did hack in, the CP access would only be seen by member groups that have access.

Seems to be working - I just had to retype the suggested code.
Does the EE forum place invisibles in code that is pasted?

Hi stevo_s,

I’m glad it’s working for you. It’s always a good idea to try and type the code your self. I might have added something extra in there by accident. You can try copying and pasting to a simple text editor which should remove any unwanted characters. But to be safe try typing it in manually.
