admin / normal user code switch

[xceler8shun]

If for example I want to make a piece of code available to administrators only and other code available to normal users, can I use this?

if ($auth->acl_get('a_'))
{
CODE TO SHOW ADMINS
}
else
{
CODE TO SHOW NORMAL USERS
}

or is there a better way to do this?

Yes, that can be used. However you should note that if somebody has access to one single acp module they will see the content. So you might want to create a separate permission.

You can also, if you only want founders to use it, you can do...
$user->data['user_type'] == 'founder'...
Or atleast I think that is the code...maybe not, however.

$user->data['user_type'] == USER_FOUNDER

Sorry, forgot about constants Thanks Igor.

No. I think the $admin variable you mean is from the login_box() function, it's only set to true if it's an admin login. That has nothing to do with permissions.

Thanks for the responses.

Other / all admins viewing isn't an issue in this case, but I may create a new permission anyway.
