How to Identify Admins in Posts?
Hi:

Right now, Forum is set up to identify Moderators in the posts by adding a " /MOderator" to their title, with code similar to this:

<%if post_user_is_moderator%>

<FONT COLOR="#0000FF"><small>&nbsp;&nbsp;<B><%user_title%> / Moderator</FONT>

<%else%>

I wanted to add in a bit so Administrators would also get an "/ Admin" tag

I have tried:

<%if post_user_is_administrator%>

<%if post_user_is_Administrator%>

<%if Status = Administrator%>

I also did a tag dump, and saw nothing to indicate Administrator staus.

None of which work. Just wondering if anyone knew the secret to pulling this sort of info from Forum...

TIA!

FWIW:

When comparing strings you'd be better off to use eq and ne, and quote the string.

>> <%if Status = Administrator%>

would be

<%if Status eq 'Administrator'%>

I use the above line to show various things in Links SQL to me, but not the users.

For future reference, you can determine whether the current user is an administrator with:

<%if current_user_status == 3%>

To determine whether the poster is an admin, do as ellipsiiis suggested.
