Test to see if user is a site admin, can it be done in MU?

    13 years, 4 months ago

    OK so in plain english I want to code the following in WPMU:

    If current user has a blog then show banner

    So I thought perhaps the following WP method might work:

    if (current_user_can('administrator'))

    Ive also tried is_admin()

    but these only show a banner for the super network admin. I want it to show for just site admins.

    I had a quick look in the database and can see wp_user_level wp_2_user_level and wp_3_user_level does the current_user_can and is_admin function just link in with wp_user_level?

    How can I achieve this check to see if a user has a blog in my MU install? Do I need a custom sql query?

    Any help mucho appreciated

  • Ignore previous post. jjones7 made his own custom user_can_for_blog. Combined with the1path’s code I think this works for my case:

    function user_can_for_blog($user_id, $blog_id, $capability ) {

        $user = new WP_User( $user_id) ;
        $user->for_blog( $blog_id );
        $args = array_slice( func_get_args(), 2 );
        $args = array_merge( array( $capability ), $args );
        return call_user_func_array( array( &$user, 'has_cap' ), $args );
       }

$user_id = $curauth->ID;
$key = 'primary_blog';
$single = true;
$primary_blog = get_user_meta( $user_id, $key, $single);

if ($primary_blog == "") {
echo '<p>No site yet</p>';
} else if (user_can_for_blog($user_id, $primary_blog, edit_posts )) {
echo '<p>Member has site</p>';
} else {
echo '<p>No site yet</p>';
}

    Got things very confused. Spending too long on this…

    Any suggestions to tighten this up further? What is the primary_blog anyway?
