Hi,

I'm developing a site for children aged between 5 and 18.

I will be allocating children aged between 5 and 12 to one user group and those over 12 to another user group.

I'd like to display a different skin to each user group. I was planning on doing this by loading a different site-colors.css for each group.

Can you tell me if this is possible and how I would do it?

Thanks,

Andy

Hi

You can do something like this in your hmtl <HEAD></HEAD>

________________________________

{def $user=fetch( 'user', 'current_user' )}

{if $user.groups|contains(12)}

<link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" href="css2.css" />

{elseif $user.groups|contains(2)}

<link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" href="css3.css" />

{else}

<link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" href="css1.css" />

{/if}

_________________________________

Note: The Numbers 2/12 in the contains() operator are placeholders

Greats

Hi Manuel,

Thank you for your help.

Do the numbers '12' and '2' relate to the Node ID of the User Groups?

Hi Andy

Yes you can show the added groups of a user with

{foreach $user.groups as $group}

{$group},

{/foreach}
