Looking for $context['user'] information

Norty:
Thanks guys.  I will test this tonight.

Norty:
I am using SMF 1.1.14

$context['user']['is_mod']  does not return true for Global Moderator.

Array
(
    [id] => 2
    [is_logged] => 1
    [is_guest] =>
    [is_admin] =>
    [is_mod] =>
.....

Kindred:
global moderators are not "moderators" in the proper sense.

A moderator is a special "group" which is not assigned in the usual way. Moderators are only assigned in the BOARD settings (and on a per-board basis) are are only moderators in that board. Even admins should not flag the "is_mod" setting unless they are also marked as a moderator in that board.

You would have to check if the user's groups contain the global mod group ID.

Norty:
Thanks Kindred.

I was looking for a shortcut  :-[

The security model works perfectly if an admin explicitly adds the fine-grained control to authorised groups.
One extra group (Global Mods) isn't going to be the end of the world.

I'm trying to use this context in my Display.template.php file.  Basically, I want to display "Thread Starter" verbage under the avatar of the user that has started the thread.  I am using the context as follows:


--- Code: ---          if ($context['user']['started'])
                    echo '
                              <li class="threadstarter">
                                        <b>', $txt['thread_starter'], '</b>
                              </li>';

--- End code ---

Unfortunately, it does not seem to identify any user...included the desired target of the thread starter.  If I negate the if, the desired text will show up for everybody...including the thread starter.

I'm at a loss...
