I need to modify a template (Contribute\Page\DashBoard.tpl) so that one particular administrator would see a custom template for the Contribution Dashboard on the back end.

The manual states that I might be able to use the {$session} variable to get information about the user.

However, when I access the available variables with debug on, I do not see how I can identify the particular user id... the $session on the Smarty Debug have $session =  CRM_Core_Session Object (0)

I was hoping to do something like this:

{if $session->get('userID') = 2235}
Insert your modifications here
{/if} 

Do I need to use a custom hook instead?... If I am not mistaken hook_civicrm_dashboard is only for the front-end dashboard right?

Thanks,

Andres

Thanks Lobo... you are right as always... it works even though smart templates does not show it.

I am buying you another beer!
