public static function showUploadedFiles($postObject) {
if ($postObject) {
$path = self::$upload_path.$postObject->id.’/’;
$url = self::$upload_url.$postObject->id.’/’;
$uploads = maybe_unserialize($postObject->uploads);
$uploadedFiles = ”;

if (!empty($uploads) && is_dir($path)) {
// Generate special message instead of file-list when hiding uploads for guests.
if (!current_user_can(‘administrator’) && get_current_user_id() !== get_the_author()) {
// TODO: Login link rendering can be put in own function.
$uploadedFiles .= ‘

• ‘.__(‘Only the author or administrators may view uploads.’, ‘asgaros-forum’).’

‘;

within ShowUploadedFiles

Ok, so this is my current statement
if (!current_user_can(‘administrator’) && get_current_user_id() !== get_the_author())
the administrator side is working, when you view with admin privileges it shows the uploads. This issue is the second part. I tried using get_the_author() to compare the current user to the post author but it doesn’t seem to be working. Is the syntax for that method incorrect?

Sorry I mostly do C# and am just looking at this for a friend and I think I misunderstood how he wanted this changed. I just talked with him and it seems rather what he is looking for is to change the method of is_user_logged_in to a is_author_or_admin. Do you have a link to the method is_user_logged_in so I can view that and create a modified copy of it to filter out all non-authors/nonadmins instead of guests.
