Group checker 1.1

Extension type: Plugin
Extension originally created by mumuri on Jan 17, 2009

Description

This small plugin allows you to display a specific content to the user of a given group. Usually; you can do that by adding permissions to the given group, and using a smarty to check the permission, but this can't be done in some cases. For instance, if there is no permissions for the content you wan't to display or if you wan't to display specific icons to a given groups (that was i ve done on top flood).

Quick setup   

<!--[checkgroup gid="1" ]-->
  do some stuff  
<!--[/checkgroup]-->

the gid parameter is the id from the given group, you can find this id in the group module (index.php?module=Groupes&type=admin)

Why did you use an ID and not the group name ?

the GID was chosen over the group name, because it would have require one more SQL query. The only solution to avoid that was to use adodb cache system and i don't have time for that for the moment. Notes that all the information are already in the user interface, you don't have to use your phpMyAdmin to connect to the database and see the ids... André Bergues
