if, else if and else statements

[eluser]mattoebs[/eluser]
Hi everyone,

I'm trying to write some code that will show one content set to an admin, another to a user and redirect anyone else to a log in page.

at the moment i have

{if $userdata.admin == 'true'}
$content
{if $userdata.manager == 'true'}
$man_content
{else}
redirect (admin/login)
{/if}

It's not working though it keeps telling me the else statement is creating an error. Can anyone help?

I'm not to sure about what it is using templates, but in raw PHP, its

Code:

if($admin) {
  // display admin content
} else if ($manager) {
  // display manager content
} else {
  redirect('admin/login');
}

Even if your using templates you can still use regular php in the template view. Use:

Code:

<? if ($this == "that"): ?>
html code here
<? else: ?>
more code
<? endif; ?>

I am using the smarty classes in my templates and it doesn't seem to pick up on the PHP tags

Try the following:

Code:

{if $userdata.admin}
$content
{if $userdata.manager}
$man_content
{else}
redirect (admin/login)
{/if}

or

Code:

{if $userdata.admin == true}
$content
{if $userdata.manager == true}
$man_content
{else}
redirect (admin/login)
{/if}

or

Code:

{if $userdata.admin == "true"}
$content
{if $userdata.manager == "true"}
$man_content
{else}
redirect (admin/login)
{/if}

also check to see if there's anything in $userdata.admin by doing

Code:

<h1>{$userdata.admin}</h1>
