Question on "user_has_role"

Quick question.  When using the following:    <#if user_has_role == "customersupport" > Is there a away to list more than one role at a time here?  If so, what's the syntax?    Thanks!

    You can do the following to combine and/or logic:

     

     <#if user_has_roll?? && (user_has_role == "registered") || (user_has_role == "customer") >

    Hi Quelyn

     

    you have an error in the expression. The first two conditions are put in AND (&&) and there is a typo in the first one  (user_has_roll), which means the first one will always fail.

     

    You actually need to write it like this for it to work (note the corrected typo and the wrapping parentheses) because the && (AND) always takes precedence onto || (OR) 

     

    <#if user_has_role?? && (user_has_role == "admin" || user_has_role == "partner" || user_has_role == "employee" || user_has_role =="customer") >

    Which means "if the variable user_has_role exists AND has one of the values in the brackets ..."

     

    Try this and let us know,

Quelyn - Try this:

 

<#assign user_has_role = false />
<#if user.registered >
<#list restadmin("/users/id/${user.id?c}/roles").roles.role as role>
<#if role.name?? && (role.name == "Administrator") || role.name?? && (role.name == "Moderator")>    
<#assign user_has_role = true />
</#if>
</#list>
</#if>
<#if user_has_role >
Content will go here
</#if>

One such solution is here for ranks as well,

I hope this helps.

    That's a great example, and thanks for that. I've seen stuff like this but could not really figure out how to get it to pertain to the menu I am making. IDEALLY I would be able to just style the 'Community Browser" to make it look like a horizontal menu and take advantage of its dynamic nature yet, but I haven't quite figured it out.
