Roles or SQL in _headerModulesList.tpl

💬 General Discussion
1

I have created a customer menu in the _headerModulesList.tpl, but i would like to only display it when users with a certain role are loggine in.

I am able to get the Users ID within the _headerModulesList.tpl. So my question is, does any one know a way or point me to documentation that will allow me to get the users roles within a varible or how to run SQL within a tpl file to allow me get get it.

Or any other suggestions how this can be achived?

Thanks

Thanks for the information. I didn’t use that exact example, but it gave me terms to google what did result in me achieving what i wanted.

So for running php on a tpl template file I used this: https://www.smarty.net/docsv2/en/language.function.php.tpl

And for working our the roles of a use I used this. It is slightly more refined than the one mentioned in the post above as it uses cache data first to see if it can find the users role.
