Hello.
I think this is how I can show and hide the link.
How could display only a certain group of users?
thanks
regards

Code Select Expand

// Button "Download"
        if ($CONFIG['plugin_enlargeit_buttondownload'] == '1' || ($CONFIG['plugin_enlargeit_buttondownload'] == 2 && USER_ID)) {
    $meta  .= <<< EOT
        enl_buttonurl[{$loopCounter}] = 'index.php?file=enlargeit/download&pid=';
        enl_buttontxt[{$loopCounter}] = '{$lang_plugin_enlargeit['download_this_file']}';
        enl_buttonoff[{$loopCounter}] = -208;

EOT;
            $loopCounter++;
        }

$USER_DATA['groups'] contains an array of all user group IDs the current user belongs to, so something like

Code Select Expand

if (in_array(4, $USER_DATA['groups']))
should work if you want to display your button to the group with the ID "4". Depending where you want to add that code, you maybe need to add

Code Select Expand

global $USER_DATA;
before the if statement. When in doubt, add it as it won't break anything.

Sorry
I think it is
This is how I put it:

Code Select Expand

// Button "Download"
global $USER_DATA; if (in_array(108, $USER_DATA['groups'])) {
        if ($CONFIG['plugin_enlargeit_buttondownload'] == '1' || ($CONFIG['plugin_enlargeit_buttondownload'] == 2 && USER_ID)) {
    $meta  .= <<< EOT
        enl_buttonurl[{$loopCounter}] = 'index.php?file=enlargeit/download&pid=';
        enl_buttontxt[{$loopCounter}] = '{$lang_plugin_enlargeit['download_this_file']}';
        enl_buttonoff[{$loopCounter}] = -208;

EOT;
            $loopCounter++;
        }
}
Just a question what if I close the post were several groups of users?
Thank you very much

Use something like

Code Select Expand

if (in_array(array(4, 5, 6), $USER_DATA['groups']))
