Check usergroup within widget

[insidedesign]

How would I go about checking a user's usergroup within a widget?

Trying to:

if this usergroup, then show this.
else, then show this.

Did you just try using is_member_of like you normally would (only with widget syntax)?

if (is_member_of(vB::$vbulletin->userinfo, x, y, z))
{
stuff
}
else
{
other stuff
}

Does x, y, z represent the usergroups that I want to check for?

edit: yes it does

Hmm, what widget type should I put the code in? It does not seem to be working for a 'Static HTML' widget.

My code:

<div class="gxglive_chat">
        <?php
        if (is_member_of(vB::$vbulletin->userinfo, 1) { ?>
        <div class="standard_error">
            <h2 class="blockhead">Please Login to Chat</h2>
            <div class="blockbody formcontrols">
                <div class="blockrow restore">
                    <h3>Sign-in Above to Enter Chatroom!</h3>
                    <p>Please login above and you will be sent to your chatroom.</p>
                    <h3>Not a GenXGlow Member? <a href="http://www.genxglow.com/register.php">Please Register...</a></h3>
                    <p>You must be a GenXGlow member to participate in our chatroom. If you would like to chat, <a href="http://www.genxglow.com/register.php">you will need to register</a>! Creating an account only takes 40 seconds!
                </div>
            </div>
        </div>
        <?php } else { ?>
            <iframe style="border: 0px" width="100%" height="600" src="/flashchat/flashchat.php?username=_int_&room=9"></iframe>
        <?php } ?>
    </div>

edit: 'PHP Direct Execution' widget type did not work with the above code either.
