Joomla 2.5 logged in user question
Posted on 2012-12-28
I want to display a link only for users logged in and part of the administrator group. The administrator group seems to be group id 7 in J2.5
kind of like this
if ($userGroup = 'admin') {
show link
}
Anyone know the syntax would look for Joomla 2.5?
