group id as DB REad condition

Hi folks,

I can't get my DBRead condition to work

If I use following condition it works fine, but this is too restrictive, because it would disable the form most of the users

<?php
$user = JFactory::getUser();
return array( "text39" =>  $user->get('id'))
?>

When I tried to specifize the condition with the following code it works no more... the goal was to restrict the view of users of the usergroup with the id 16, but let everyone else who is not part of that group see all database entries

<?php

$user = JFactory::getUser();

if($user->get('groups') = 16) {
    return array( "text39" =>  $user->get('id'))
}else {
    return array()
}

?>

greetings

Hello gate,
I'm not a Chrono professional, but after checking your new post, I think that the following links may help:
What decides if clientside validation is enabled?
P.S: I'm just an automated service😉

Hi gate,

If you are trying to block access to the form then you need an Authenticator action.

Or this is not what you are trying to do ?

Hi Max,

no, you've got it wrong.
I don't want to block the access to the form itself, but to the database entries, which are loaded into the form.

<?php
$user = JFactory::getUser();
return array( "text39" =>  $user->get('id'))
?>

This condition compares the user-id with the database field "text39" and gives back all the database entries where they are matching, nontheless the usergroup.
But I want to use this condition only for users with the group-id '16', for every other user, the form should load all database entries. I thought the easiest way to accomplish this, was to use an "if-clause", but I can't get it to work correctly

greetings

thanks Max it worked fine... after I figured that there shouldn't be a space in "in_array" and that at the end there is missing a closing bracket 😉
