Hi, I apologize for posting so many questions.

I’ve spent hours of searching and can’t find how to retrieve user member group id or user member group name.
I just found modUser::isMember that should check if a members belongs to some groups, but can’t guess what’s the problem when using it in a snippet :

<?php
$modx->$user->isMember('announcers');
?>

Fatal error: Cannot access empty property in /var/www/core/model/modx/modscript.class.php(89) : eval()'d code on line 6

What did I miss ? grin

It should be:

$modx->user->isMember('announcers');

No $ on user.

How do you find out if another user (not the current user) belongs to a certain group?

I want to find out if the last editor of a resource belongs to a certain group.
My code so far gives me a syntax error.

$usergroup='Editor';
$id = $modx->resource->get('id');
$resource = $modx->getObject('modResource', $id );

$editor = $resource->get('editedby');

$user=$modx->getObject('modUser',array('id'=>$editor));

$checkMembership = $modx->$user->isMember($usergroup);

return $checkMembership;

I may have just answered my own question... in line 9 I deleted the reference to modx and it seems to work

$checkMembership = $user->isMember($usergroup);
