Using drupal permissions in my theme

[adshill]

I'm trying to utilise drupal permissions in my theme. I found a snippet in a past post by lobo:

http://forum.civicrm.org/index.php/topic,5854.msg26574/topicseen.html#msg26574

Code: [Select]

{if user_access( 'show remove link' )}
{/if}
Which doesn't seem to work as such - it just displays to everyone. Can anyone help with the actual code I need to display something in my theme based on the drupal permission, or worse but still useful, on drupal role?

Thanks a lot!

In what file exactly do you want to use this code? If it's part of your Drupal theme, meaning the page.tpl.php in your Drupal theme directory, then the code would look more like:

Code: [Select]

<?php if user_access('show remove link'): ?>
Here is code to be shown
<?php endif; ?>

Hi there,

No this would be in my CiviCRM theme. In drupal its clear, but I want to provide some icons on the CiviCRM home screen, but I need control over who will see them or not. I could try with drupal code in a Civi theme but I'm presuming this won't work.

Thanks,

Adam

You can execute php functions within Smarty. Check the Smarty manual for details (http://smarty.net/manual/en)

We dont use it a lot, so cant give lots of example, but here is one snippet:

Code: [Select]

{if $smarty.get.sessionReset}
{$session->reset($smarty.get.sessionReset)}
{/if}

the session variable is exposed to smarty

you should be able to do

Code: [Select]

{if user_access('show civicrm image')}
// add image href and title here
{/if}
