If I wanted to put a link at the top along with the rest of the links, but only wanted people from 'x' usergroup see it, how would I go about doing this?
Kind of like the admin link that only admins have access to. Well, mods do to but to a different section.

In ubbt.inc.php FIND THIS: // ------------------------------------------------------------------ <br /> // If they are an admin or moderator they get a link to the admin sec <br /> $target = ""; <br /> if ( ($user['U_Status'] == "Administrator") || ($user['U_Status'] == "Moderator") ) { <br /> $target = "target=\"_top\""; <br /> $adminlink = "<a href = \"$phpurl/admin/login.php?Cat=$Cat\" $target>{$ubbt_lang['ADMIN_MENU']}</a> | "; <br /> } ADD BELOW IT, THIS: $grouplink = ""; <br /> if ($user['U_Groups'] == "-X-") { <br /> $target = "target=\"_top\""; <br /> $grouplink = "<a href = \"URL GOES HERE\" $target>LINK NAME</a> · "; <br /> } Fill in the obvious details. Then add $grouplink to ubbt_registerednav.tmpl alongside with the other links. Just make sure it isn't the very last link since it has a seperator after it.

Thanks Twisty!!

Hmm, did all this and it's not showing up. I'm assuming this is all right? $grouplink = "";<br /> if ($user['U_Groups'] == "-1-") {<br /> $target = "target=\"_top\"";<br /> $grouplink = "<a href = \"http://www.webpage.com\" $target>LINK NAME</a> | ";<br /> } Also, do I just put "$grouplink" (without quotes) in the ubbt_registerednav.tmpl somewhere? That's what I did but it's not showing up.

It works but *everyone* can now see the link, regardless of which group they are in. Should I be putting in the group_id number or the name (ie Administrator)?

Actually you know what bro? That still isn't correct. *This* is what you want right here... $grouplink = ""; <br /> if ( ($user['U_Groups']) && (strstr($user['U_Groups'],"-1-") ) ) { <br /> $target = "target=\"_top\""; <br /> $grouplink = "<a href = \"http://www.webpage.com\" $target>LINK NAME</a> · "; <br /> } I rarely ever mess with group stuff so I'm a li'l rusty with it. But don't worry, I'll get you set up sooner or later

No worries at all, Twisty! I'm just thankful there are people like yourself that are willing to help us technologically challenged folks. And it's working perfectly now. I logged in as one of my users and the link is gone, as it should be. Thanks!!

The other thing that you might need - depending on the the script - is to add U_Groups to the authenticate function - it's not called in every script. If this is in the menubar, You might want to go into the authenticate() function in ubbt.inc.php and add U_Groups to the query there - so that $user['U_Groups'] will be avilable in every script.
