    As HaidongG  mentioned, you could use macros and functions as well, but as this is not too bigger a code, you could just remove the If conditions, and it'd work just fine. After stripping off the code in red and putting the line in green inside the if block;

     

    <#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 == "PHD" || role.name == "Ambassador" || role.name == "Administrator")> 
             <#assign user_has_role = true /> 
        </#if> 
       </#list> 
</#if> 
<#if user_has_role >

</#if>

     

    you'll be left with below.

     

    <#if user.registered >

Thanks for the quick response. Just to be sure....

will that be this part. Two lines

 

<#if role.name?? && (role.name == "PHD" || role.name == "Ambassador" || role.name == "Administrator")>
<#assign user_has_role = true />

 

Or one line like this

<#if role.name?? && (role.name == "PHD" || role.name == "Ambassador" || role.name == "Administrator")> 

 

Thanks!
Wendy

Hi Wendy_S ,

 

if you want some "pretty" code, you may want to consider functions and macros.

 

In your example, I will write something like this

<#function user_has_role role_name_seq >
......
        <#if role_name_seq?seq_contains(role.name)>
                <#return true />
       </#if>
.....
</#function>


<#assign super_roles = ["PHD", "Ambassador", "Administrator"] />
<#if user_has_role(super_roles) >
....
    you are a super user!
....
</#if>
