Checking for a usergroup in a module is throwing an error

Hi, I’m currently running Evo. 1.0.5 and I wanted to create a module similar to the following:

http://www.kunane.com/modx/managing-resources-via-module.html

But with a check on the usergroup to display the appropriate link.

Unfortunately I’m getting an error:

Fatal error: Call to a member function isMember() on a non-object in C:\wamp\www\Projects\Websites\brucecounty.on.ca\brucecounty_ver_2\brucecountyonca\manager\processors\execute_module.processor.php(120) : eval()’d code on line 3

What am I doing wrong?

Here is the code:

global $modx;

if($modx->user->isMember('Human Resources'))
{
    $news_id = 126; //ID of your container
}
elseif($modx->user->isMember('Planning'))
{
    $news_id = 126; //ID of your container
}
else
{
    $news_id = 123; //ID of your container
}

setcookie('webfxtab_childPane', 1, time()+3600, '/');
$modx->sendRedirect("index.php?a=3&id=$news_id",0,"REDIRECT_HEADER");

I’m running the following:
Windows 7
PHP Ver 5.2.4
MySQL 5.0.45
Firefox 3.6.12

That looks more like a Revo function to me. Evo has isMemberOfWebGroup() which takes an array of web group names as a parameter.

I tried that function, but is that not for Web Users? I’m looking for something to check for user groups on Manager Users, is this the function I need?

I got this to work for me:

$documentGroups = $modx->getUserDocGroups(true);

if (in_array("Human Resource Pages", $documentGroups)) 
{
    $news_id = 126;    
}
elseif(in_array("Planning Pages", $documentGroups)) 
{
    $news_id = 127;
}
else
{
    $news_id = 0;
}

setcookie('webfxtab_childPane', 1, time()+3600, '/');
$modx->sendRedirect("index.php?a=3&id=$news_id",0,"REDIRECT_HEADER");

Thanks for the help Susan!
