possible to limit "New Posts" in navbar to certain usergroups?

[GearTripper]

i would like the navbar "New Posts" to only appear for certain usergroups, rather then 'members'... is this possible? basically, i have the themplate mod that shows total new posts with a number, which includes posts from the administration sections. a lot of users don't have access to this section for moderators only, so when they click on the navbar new posts and expect to see all these new posts - it only shows for example, 10 new posts instead of the navbar number which may show around 20.

Edited to fix my english.

Admin CP -> Styles & Templates -> Style Manager -> « » -> Navigation / Breadcrumb Templates -> navbar

Add the red code:

			[color=red]<if condition="in_array($bbuserinfo[usergroupid], array(X,Y,Z))">[/color]
				<td class="vbmenu_control"><a href="search.php?$session[sessionurl]do=getnew" accesskey="2">$vbphrase[new_posts_nav]</a></td>
			[color=red]</if>[/color]

Where X,Y,Z is a comma list of primary usergroupids for which the link will show.

There should be 3 instances of this code in that template.

what about secondary user groups

ie group id>7. i have a usergroup id 9 which is not working...

<if condition="in_array($bbuserinfo[usergroupid],array(9,5,6,7))"> 

doesn't work for usergroupid 9

Additional usergroups are harder to check as they are handled a bit differently. This works if they are a member of 1 additional usergroup, or the number you are checking appears first in the field.

<if condition="in_array($bbuserinfo[usergroupid], array(X,Y,Z)) OR in_array($bbuserinfo[membergroupids], array(J,K,L))">

lats, thank you.

do you know the equivalent expression for secondary groups in php?

i want to check if the user belongs to group 9. my expression only works for the primary user groups for me..

[Lats]

Err, just change either J,K or L above to a 9 - that will pick them up.

That shouldn't work with secondary groups. You have to call is_member_of() for each group:

<if condition="is_member_of($bbuserinfo, [color=red]X[/color]) OR is_member_of($bbuserinfo, [color=red]Y[/color]) OR is_member_of($bbuserinfo, [color=red]Z[/color])">

Where X, Y, and Z are usergroupids of secondary groups.
