Show a link depending on customer group

[eschmidt]

I am looking for a way to detect what customer group a user belongs to in order to show them a link to their products. I would like a link to show up on the my-account.tpl page so when a user registers with our store, they see a link to their products. We have two different customer groups for our store and products are only visible once a user has registered to a group. So it would be something like if customer is in group A, they get link A. If customer is in group B they get link B.

Is there a way to do this in the .tpl file? Or do I need to create a custom query to the database?

The Customer.php class has a method called isMemberOfGroup($id_group), where $id_group is the id number of the group. Return value is a boolean so you can check whether a user is or is not inside of a specific group.
