How to hide ads from certain usergroup(s)

[Geoffrey]

I am in the process of setting up adsense on my forums and I would like to set up an account upgrade (via the xf feature) to promote users to a group that will not see ads for those that don't like them. xD

What do I have to do, if it's even possible, to do this?

Thanks for your help.

Use this template condition:

<xen:if is="!{xen:helper ismemberof, $visitor, 5}">
	ADSENSE
</xen:if>

You need to specify the group_id of the privileged group (that will not see ads).

Okay, so 5 = the group that users are promoted to that pay to not see ads? What do I do to add more than one group to that condition? Will a comma and the next ID work?

Yes and yes.

Thanks for the quick response!

I tried doing this and it was blocking the ad for my account as well (the admin account id is 3 and the new user group ID i'm trying to use is 35.) Is this something that still works for 1.2?

The ismemberof helper has not changed.

The ismemberof helper has not changed.

I just discovered the really stupid thing I was doing...I didn't realize that the adsense code actually went where ADSENSE is in the example. Once I got that right it works perfectly. Thanks
