$context['user']['is_admin']

[Fabius85]

i wanted to show a link (into the statistics box) if only a user is admin, so i put a code like this into BoardIndex.template.php

Code Select Expand

if ($context['user']['is_admin']=1)
{
    echo '<a href="www.mylinkhereonlyforadmins.com">[ MyLinkHereOnlyForAdmins ]</a>';
}
but the link is displayed to everyone!
so i tried using $user_info['is_admin'] instead of $context['user']['is_admin'] however with the same result.
i tried printing $context['user']['is_admin'] value, and i noticed that it is set to 1 for EVERYONE, even if guest or not admins!
is that normal or am i doing something wrong?

ps: just noticed that even $context['user']['id'] returns always 1 instead of the real UserID....

no matter, just fixed it, i was using =1 instead of ==1 ^^

You don't even have to do that, simply if($context['user']['is_admin']) will work.
