User Status?

Hello,

I would like to display some fields and hide others in the modify.cgi form based on if a user status = Administrator or not.

This is what I was using:

<%if User_Status eq 'Administrator'%>

Can someone one point this out to me please?

Put <%GT::Template::dump%> in the modify template, and see if there is a tag there referring to the user status... then you can work from there by making an 'if' statement...

Thank you Andy, I tried that before requesting help.

The only Status reference found was Status = 0. I figured that was referring to the validated / nonvalidated status. Nothing mentioned that the user was an admin even though I was logged in as one when viewing the tag dump.

Like I just said, I have Status=0. That is the only "status" I seem to be able to work with. I tried your

<%if Status eq 'Administrator'%> and it didn't work for me. Any other ideas?

You could try with

<%Links::init_user%>

<%if Status eq 'Administrator'%>

Something

<%endif%>
