Hi Guys,
I have created some custom widgets and I want those widgets to be displayed to certain user groups.
For example, I have created a widget titled 'Top Team'. This widget should only be displayed when a member of the Top team has logged in.
For the creation of user groups, I had used "Role Scoper" plugin.
I tried using a number of "Widgets plugins" available such as Widget Logic, Custom Widgets and few others. But I was unable to display the widgets for certain user groups.
Can someone please help me with this?
Please let me know what condition should I add in Widget Logic so that members of a particular group can only see some widgets which are intended for them. Can I specify multiple user Ids in condition for Widget logic and how?
Thanks in advance.
Regards,
Vishal Wadkar.

role scoper's documentation seems quiet on this, but a quick look through the code I can see code like
$user_groups = WP_Scoped_User::get_groups_for_user( );
which combined with wp_get_current_user http://codex.wordpress.org/Function_Reference/wp_get_current_user
should get you what you want, though I think the $user_groups array you get back is an array of group IDs which may not be super helpful. Anyway, here's my untested code example:
$current_user = wp_get_current_user();
if (0==$current_user->ID ) return false;
$user_groups = WP_Scoped_User::get_groups_for_user( $current_user->ID );
return in_array([group_id_to_test], $user_groups));

Hi alanft,
thanks for the answer. I actually managed to use widget logic and just check for an ability. Seemed to be easiest. See following links for possibilities:
http://codex.wordpress.org/Function_Reference/current_user_can
Link to some other widget logic possibilities:

Hope that will help people!
Looking for the same thing here. Using Role Scoper and Widget Logic. Also want to display widgets when a user belonging to a certain user group is logged in. So far I have:
$group_id_in_question = 9;
global $current_user;
if ( isset( $current_user->groups[ $group_id_in_question ] ) );
But when I logged in as a user under group 9 I do not see that widget.
Tried
$group_id_in_question = 9;
$current_user = wp_get_current_user();
global $current_user;
if ( isset( $current_user->groups[ $group_id_in_question ] ) );
but I do not see the widget
Got help . Had to use $wpdb to access the needed data in the database, declare this variable and a few others global to access them from functions.php and write a function to get the RS user group connected to to the current user.
