Hi,
I will like to retrieve the usergroup after login.
What is the variable to use? Basically, I want to know whether it is registered or special.
Thanks.

In Joomla 1.0.x, $my->usertype returns a string representation. You could alternatively use $my->gid if you prefer the numeric values of each type of user. Values for $my->usertype are as follows (with $my->gid):

• Public Frontend(29)
• Registered(18)
• Author(19)
• Editor(20)
• Publisher(21)
• Public Backend(30)
• Manager(23)
• Administrator(24)
• Super Administrator(25)

Make sure to declare $my global.
