Best way to add group-specific content
Hi how can I have multiple web parts that display group-specific HTML? I basically want the group admins to be able to add links or event information into a couple different spots in the sidebar of my site. Their content should only show when the user is viewing pages in that group.

Is this possible?

Thanks!

Hello,

Do you want to display the web parts to all users visiting group's pages or display the web parts on (let's say) all pages but only to particular users?

Hello,

You can set the visiblity of the web parts to this macro expression:
{%communitycontext.currentgroup.groupname == "GroupName"%}

Where GroupName is name of the group. You can set this in Properties dialog of the web part by clicking on the small black triangle next to the Visible property.
