Joomla: If user has access level X, then

Question

I want to show some content only if a user belongs to the access level with the IDs 4 and 5. It should start with something like that:

$user = JFactory::getUser();

and then I need to check the access level of the logged in user. Help would be very much appreciated!

Answer 1

You could use the following code:

<?php
    $user = JFactory::getUser();
    $levels = $user->getAuthorisedViewLevels();

    if(in_array(4, $levels) && in_array(5, $levels)) :
?>

        Content

<?php endif; ?>

Reference: JUser::getAuthorisedViewLevels - getAuthorisedViewLevels

Hope this helps
