Showing which group a customer belongs to in Magento

Question

I have set up a couple of Customer Groups in Magento (General, Purchase Order Enabled) and i’m wondering if this is easy to display to the customer in their account area so they can see which group they belong to?

Answer 1

Maybe @MagePsycho got it from an old version but on 1.5 you need to change the group model.

// Check Customer is loggedin or not
if(Mage::getSingleton('customer/session')->isLoggedIn()){
      // Get group Id
      $groupId = Mage::getSingleton('customer/session')->getCustomerGroupId();
      //Get customer Group name
      $group = Mage::getModel('customer/group')->load($groupId);
      echo $group->getCode();
}
