Hello,

I'm trying to display different information depending on the usergroup of current_user.

The issue that I'm running into is that every user is part of the "Users" usergroup, so I can't seem to be to use {case match='Anonymous'}.

Here's the code that I'm using;

{foreach $user.groups as $key => $group}
	{def $group=fetch( 'content', 'object', hash( 'object_id', $user.groups[$key] ) )}

{let groupn=$group.name}

{switch name=pagetester match=$groupn}

{case match='IE07'}

        				<p>You are a member of: <strong>IE07</strong><br />
				You have access to the following sections:
				<ul>
					<li>Access to this</li>
					<li>and that</li>
				</ul></p>

{/case}

{case match='UE2'}

<p>You are a member of UE2</p>

{/case}

{case in=array(Anonymous, Users)}
			<p> You are an anonymous user.<br />
				You do not have access to this section, If you'd like to have access, please <a href="/publications/subscribe">click here</a>.
{/case}

{/switch}
{/let}
{/foreach}

This works only for anonymous, but when I log in as one of the other users, it doesn't seem to work. I am using {switch} because there will be about 10 usergroups.

Looks like I fixed this,

Used an if statement instead, so my code looks like this now

			{if $group.name|contains( IE07 ) }
				<p>You are a member of: <strong>Import/Export 2007</strong><br />
				You have access to the following sections:
				
 	 		{elseif $group.name|contains( UE2 )}
  				<p>You are a member of: <strong>UEII</strong><br />
				You have access to the following sections:	
			{elseif $group.name|contains( Anonymous )}
				<p> You are an anonymous user.<br />
				You do not have access to this section.

...

One thing I'd like to add is to display a message depending on the current node that the user is in. Is it possible? I've read about $requested_uri_string, but it seems it's only for pagelayout. Is there another way?

Thanks.
