I am new in opencart and I am trying to make some changes using vqmod.I have built a xml file which will add some text on product_list.tpl depending on user's id.The problem is that I cannot get id.I tried a lot but still no success.If anyone knows how can I achieve this please post.I get this notice on browser -> Notice: Undefined property: Loader
Here is my xml file:

 <version>1.0</version>
 <vqmver>2.4.1</vqmver>
 <author>GeoDim</author>

<file path="admin/view/template/catalog/product_list.tpl">
  <operation>
  <search position="after"><![CDATA[div class="pull-right"]]></search>
  <add><![CDATA[
 <?php
 // GeoDim - add message products depending on user login

  $this->load->model('user/user');
   $user_group_id = $this->model_user_user->getUsersGroupId($this->user->getId());

   if ($user_group_id == 1) {

    echo '<p style="background-color: yellow;font-size: 21px;float: left;margin-right: 5px"><i class="fa fa-exclamation-triangle"></i>Είστε στο TEST</p>';
  }else {

Which version of Opencart?
Since there's no getUsersGroupId function in model/user/user.php on opencart 2.x I used getUser here, I've tested this on opencart 2.1.0.1.
You must first get user_group_id in controller file and then send it to view file via $data, so edit this file:
admin/controller/catalog/product.php

Find getList function and add this inside it:
  $this->load->model('user/user');
  $user_group_id = $this->model_user_user->getUser($this->user->getId());

   if ($user_group_id['user_group_id'] == 1) {

    $data['paragraph'] = '<p style="background-color: yellow;font-size: 21px;float: left;margin-right: 5px"><i class="fa fa-exclamation-triangle"></i>Είστε στο TEST</p>';
  }else {
    $data['paragraph'] = '<p style="background-color: orange;font-size: 21px;float:left;margin-right:5px"><i class="fa fa-exclamation-triangle"></i>Είστε στο    LIVE</p>';
    }

and then in admin/view/template/catalog/product_list.tpl use it:
<?php echo $paragraph; ?>

      $this->load->model('user/user');
      $user_group_id = $this->model_user_user->getUser($this->user->getId());

       if ($user_group_id['user_group_id'] == 1) {

        $data['paragraph'] = '<p style="background-color: yellow;font-size: 21px;float: left;margin-right: 5px"><i class="fa fa-exclamation-triangle"></i>Είστε στο TEST</p>';
