Making something appear if a user isn't in a group

[Boy_Wonder]

Basically I'm trying to make it so that an additional profile option only shows if a person is sorted into a rp related group, or is staff. The easiest way to do this is to hide it from non-grouped members as the only other group I need to exclude it from is a group called "inactive"

Is there anyway to do this?

The permissions for custom fields are limited to Members & Staff or Staff Only. There's no way to securely hide the field otherwise.

The Custom Field Modifier plugin is the closest available thing at the moment.

Its for an actual template basically I'm trying to make this

Only show if a member is in a group

You can use if statements then, but keep in mind that $[user.group] and $[current_user.group] rely entirely on the user's current display group, not the list of groups they're a part of.

{if $[user.group]}
    {if $[user.group.name] != "Inactive" || $[user.is_staff]}
        <a class="open-modal">Additional Info</a>
    {/if}
{/if}

What about if a user isn't in a group at all though (aka if they're just a groupless member, which are how we designate ooc accounts) - or is that what the 'if user group' statement checks

[Brian]

That's correct. The first if statement is to check for the presence of a group to begin with.

Thank you xD
