I have created a model called Author which extends the RainLab\User\Models\User In the boot function extending form fields I only wish to display the tab fields if the user belongs to a specific RainLab\User\Models\UserGroup .

In this instance the group I want has the following fields

id =4, name = Author, code = author

I can achieve this by using the code below but was wondering if there was a better way of doing this. UsersController::extendFormFields(function($form, $model, $context) {

        if(!$model instanceof UserModel)
            return;
        if(!$model->exists)
            return;

        if(!AuthorModel::isAuthor($model))
            return;

The function below is what I am using to check if user is a member of the author group .

public static function isAuthor($user) { return DB::table('users_groups')->where('user_id',$user->id)->where('user_group_id', 4 )->first(); }

Something like this should work if relationships are correct:

return $user->whereHas(
    'group', function($query) {
        $query->where('code', 'author');
    }
)->first();

Something like this should work.

return ! $model->groups->where('id', 4)->isEmpty()

or use the code instead of id in where clause.

Thanks Eoler and Renatio,

using 'groups' worked

return $user->whereHas( 'groups', function($query) { $query->where('code', 'author'); } )->first();

and the code below is nice

return ! $model->groups->where('id', 4)->isEmpty()
