Zikula CMS -- Finding User Properties

Question

This question involves the Zikula CMS. Is it possible to detect if a viewer is logged in and is a member of a specific group using twig? I would like to have some control code that doesn't show ad blocks if a user is a paying subscriber (is a member of a specific group). Thanks!

its symfony based try to write {{ dump() }} to show what you get on your view — episch, Jun 05 '19 at 19:27
if you switch to `dev` mode you will get more reasonable output from `{{ dump() }}` — craigh, Jun 06 '19 at 00:23

For most checks like this you won't check for group memberships, but for permissions which are granted by them. So you could for example add a condition like the following to your Twig template:

{% if currentUser.loggedIn and hasPermission('MyComponent::', '.*', ACCESS_READ) %}
    special block for paying members
{% else %}
    show ad
{% endif %}

Note that MyComponent can be anything, it is not limited to components used/provided by your installed extensions.

You can read more about the currentUser global variable here.
