$users--usertype

Hi stephen, I am trying the following code in an admin menu set to "special Access" in joomla core, but it still appears to "author" group users.

I tried the same with the joomla core set to "public access" for the same module and it did not work either.


Code:


//if users are on a given template the module will only appear to administrator or super administrators



$mainframe =& JFactory::getApplication();

$template =& $mainframe->getTemplate();



if ($template == "electric_standard_jan2011" && $user == "Administrator" || "Super Administrator") return "208"; 



if ($template == "femmes_jan2011" && $user == "Administrator" || "Super Administrator") return "208"; 



if ($template == "flamencofusion_internationnal_jan2011" && $user == "Administrator" || "Super Administrator") return "208"; 



if ($template == "leadguitar_internationnal_jan2011" && $user == "Administrator" || "Super Administrator") return "208"; 



if ($template == "metal_jan2011" && $user == "Administrator" || "Super Administrator") return "208"; 



if ($template == "jw_clean_pro" && $user == "Administrator" || "Super Administrator") return "208";

Cheers,
Alex

Re: $users--usertype

Hi Alex,

it's just a PHP syntax thing. If you want to check for more than 1 value for a variable you can't do this:

if ($template == "electric_standard_jan2011" && $user == "Administrator" || "Super Administrator") return "208";

Instead you have to do this:

if ($template == "electric_standard_jan2011" && ( $user->usertype == "Administrator" || $user->usertype == "Super Administrator")) return "208";

Repeat this pattern for the other statements as well.

Note the use of brackets to surround the "or" part of the statement, and use of $user->usertype instead of just $user.

Cheers,
Stephen

Re: $users--usertype

Solved! Thanks

Code:

$mainframe =& JFactory::getApplication();

$template =& $mainframe->getTemplate();



if ($template == "electric_standard_jan2011" && ( $user->usertype == "Administrator" || $user->usertype == "Super Administrator" || $user->usertype == "Manager")) return "208"; 



if ($template == "femmes_jan2011" && ( $user->usertype == "Administrator" || $user->usertype == "Super Administrator" || $user->usertype == "Manager")) return "208"; 



if ($template == "flamencofusion_internationnal_jan2011" && ( $user->usertype == "Administrator" || $user->usertype == "Super Administrator" || $user->usertype == "Manager")) return "208"; 



if ($template == "leadguitar_internationnal_jan2011" && ( $user->usertype == "Administrator" || $user->usertype == "Super Administrator" || $user->usertype == "Manager")) return "208"; 



if ($template == "metal_jan2011" && ( $user->usertype == "Administrator" || $user->usertype == "Super Administrator" || $user->usertype == "Manager")) return "208"; 



if ($template == "jw_clean_pro" && ( $user->usertype == "Administrator" || $user->usertype == "Super Administrator" || $user->usertype == "Manager")) return "208";
