contributor list and conditional

  • I’m on 2.7

    I want to create a list on my home page side bar of only my blog’s contributors, (not auhtor, editor, admin, etc.) ONLY users tagged as contributors.

    And, when a user is reading an article written by an author who IS a contributor I want to display a simple block of code.

    I looked through the template conditionals and tags but could not find specifics.

    Thans in advance

  • I think you should install some plugins can query the users’ information then modify it with some if statements, and “role=contributor” ??

    Do you know of any such plugin? I have been looking but can’t find one…

    If you can find the Userlevel for contributor you could just you use IF / ELSE….

    Something like this should work…

    <?php global $user_ID; if( $user_ID ) : ?>
<?php if( current_user_can('level_10') ) : ?>

Do what you want here...

<?php else : ?>
<?php endif; ?>
<?php endif; ?>

    Level 10 is admin, so you’ll just need to find out what a contributor is…

    Found that via google within a few moments, but should be able to adjust it to suit…. at least trim down on the PHP opening and closing…

    <?php
global $user_ID; if( $user_ID ) :
if( current_user_can('level_10') ) :
?>

Your stuff here..

<?php
else :
endif;
endif;
?>

    Is how i’d personally do it, little easier for me to read…

    Looking at the roles and user-level codex page i’m not sure using user-level will work perfectly, you’ll just have to try and see…
