Restrict Groups Tab in User Profiles to Staff Only

[Former Member]

This will make it so the Groups tab in User Profiles only appears for Staff. Should a non-staff member type the URL directly in, they'll receive a message that says "You do not have permission to access this page." Staff will be able to see the tab and the Group contents.

First off, go to Admin > Structure > Layout Templates > User Profile > User Profile. Then, scroll through the code until you find:

{foreach $[menu]}<li{if $[menu.active]} class="ui-active"{/if}>
<a href="$[menu.href]" style="display: none;">$[menu.text]</a>
<a href="$[menu.href]">$[menu.text]</a></li>{/foreach}


Change that to this:
{foreach $[menu]}<li{if $[menu.active]} class="ui-active"{/if}>
{if $[menu.text] == "Groups"}
{if $[current_user.is_staff]}<a href="$[menu.href]">$[menu.text]</a>
{else}<a href="$[menu.href]" style="display: none;">$[menu.text]</a>{/if}
{else}
<a href="$[menu.href]">$[menu.text]</a>{/if}</li>{/foreach}


Then, go to Admin > Structure > Layout Templates > User Profile > Groups (it's a few tabs to the right)

At the very very top of the code, the first line, put:
{if $[current_user.is_staff]}
At the very, very bottom of the code, the last line, put:
{else}You do not have permission to access this page{/if}
