Re: hiding link from certain users.

thank you for your reply..but i still can't get it right.. I'm a slow learner. Can you please explain deeper on the (Auth.User.group_id') part.

this is what the table in db looks like

id                      usrname             pass                              superuser

 1                       jill                    12345                                    1      
 2                       john                 54321                                    0
 3                       kurt                  32145                                    0

You can access the user's record from within a view like the above, so as long as your group is specified in the user record (say ... group_id)

if($session->read('Auth.User.group_id') == 'superuser') {
 ....
}


**** This assumes you are using the Auth component.
