Thanks Franz,

I created a view helper (copied the "f:if" helper from fluid).

Tx_Myext_ViewHelpers_IfAccessViewHelper

Changed the render() method to do the appropriate logic and changed the
input parameter from $condition to $groupUid.

Then added this to my fluid template:

<myext:ifAccess groupUid="{settings.mySpecialGroupUid}">
	Show something special
</myext:ifAccess>

However, it never executes,... the tags are displaed there as is.

If I copy the exact same class and put it in fluid, rename it to:

Tx_Fluid_ViewHelpers_IfAccessViewHelper

It works as expected.

Do I need to do anything special to "register" my view helper?
