Views by Groups

I have 3 groups and each has a different view for each page.

 

What's the easiest way to have different views for each group?

 

Example Profile will be different for each group, the layouts will not change so much but the content displayed, is there an easy way rather than in the controller

if group -> render this

elseif group =

render this

else

 

 

just seems like a lot of junk if this has to be done for each action thru the site

 

what about this render ($group_id . '_view_i _need);

 

and name the views

1_something

2_something

3_something

 

and since each group has different views / elements how to run separate queries based on the specific group. As an admin group member queries will pull more data needed for their role how would you determin that?

 

Admin viewing Profile my need info from 10 tables

 

while normal member may only need info from Profile, Posts tables...

 

is here a way to query based on role?in the model create the function as normal but if group = X run tis query else run this one?

 

Write the query 3 times for each group and run the appropriate one?

 

Thoughts, ideas, suggestions?

 

thanks

 

Dave
