If usergroup=x display y in sidebar

[David Gardiner]

How easy is it to have a snippet of code in the sidebar that displays a message to people in a certain usergroup, possibly a

"upgrade your membership to ....." if usergroup = regsitered normal, sort of thing

Try something like this:

<xen:if is="{$visitor.user_group_id} == x">
<!-- Your message here -->
</xen:if>

And replace x with the usergroup that you want to show your message.

^ that only works if the user is in the primary usergroup.
If their account upgrade sets them to secondary (which it will) the msg will still show

<xen:if is="{xen:helper ismemberof, $visitor, 5}">
The user browsing is in either primary/secondary usergroup with id 5.
</xen:if>

I assumed that the OP wanted to show the message to the primary usergroup. But now he has both options

Figured that, But to add on to the info pile, I thought since he mentioned account upgrades I'd share the alternative.

The more alternatives and options are suggested, the better
