Displaying usergroup name

[Agaton]

Hi,

I am currently displaying quantity dependant pricing for various logged in user groups. I know how to display user name using $user->name. I am also able to obtain user group id for both vm and joomla.

How do I display usergroup/shopper group name without writing the query direct to the template override? Is this possible?

Thanks

When you know the id it is quite simple

Code Select Expand



shoppergroup = VmModel::getModel('shoppergroup')->getShopperGroup(YourId)->shopper_group_name



It makes sense to store the model in a temp var.

That worked perfectly thank you.... One more thing

What would I use to display the users company name in product details override... $user->name is obviously the users name, but what would I use for the company.
