Opportunity Validation to exclude certain Profile types

Question

Unfortunately, I'm not able to use simple Validation Rules to do my conditional statement validation. Instead I have to use a trigger to do so.

That being said, currently, I'm trying to only run this trigger on certain profile types. We have different records for our Opportunities and I only want it to run on, for example 'SGIOpportunities'. Here is the current code I have:

trigger UpdateOpportunity on Opportunity (before insert, before update){    

    Set<String> recordTypeToValidateAgainst = new Set<String>();
    recordTypeToValidateAgainst.add('SGIOpportunities'); // SGI Opportunity Type

    for(Opportunity opp: trigger.new){
        if(recordTypeToValidateAgainst.contains(Schema.RecordTypeInfo.getName()) && opp.StageName != '0 %'){
            OpportunityMethods.updateOppCompetitor(opp);  
        }
    }  
}

**OpportunityMethods.updateOppCompetitor(opp) is declared in an APEX class, that are my conditional statements.

Also the error I'm getting in the compiler is:

Error: Compile Error: Method does not exist or incorrect signature: Schema.RecordTypeInfo.getName() at line 7 column 49

Note: I do have the fully qualified name: Schema.RecordTypeInfo.getName() listed and not sure why it's not able to get the value..

Thanks for you help in advance!

I rephrased the answer from this SFSE post to accommodate your need :

How to find current record's RecordType name

trigger UpdateOpportunity on Opportunity (before insert, before update){    

    Set<String> recordTypeToValidateAgainst = new Set<String>();
    recordTypeToValidateAgainst.add('SGIOpportunities'); // SGI Opportunity Type

map<Id, Schema.RecordTypeInfo> rt_map = Schema.getGlobalDescribe().get('Opportunity').getDescribe().getRecordTypeInfosById();


    for(Opportunity opp: trigger.new){
        if(recordTypeToValidateAgainst.contains(rt_map.get(opp.recordTypeID).getName()) && opp.StageName != '0 %'){
            OpportunityMethods.updateOppCompetitor(opp);  
        }
    }  
}

OR

This should work too:

    trigger UpdateOpportunity on Opportunity (before insert, before update){    

    map<Id, Schema.RecordTypeInfo> rt_map = Schema.getGlobalDescribe()get('Opportunity').getDescribe().getRecordTypeInfosById()
    for(Opportunity opp : trigger.new){
        if(rt_map.get(opp.recordTypeID).getName().containsIgnoreCase('SGIOpportunities') && opp.StageName != '0 %'){
              OpportunityMethods.updateOppCompetitor(opp);  
        }
}     
}

Update: Missed a . here Was:

getGlobalDescribe()get('Opportunity')

updated to:

getGlobalDescribe().get('Opportunity')
