Custom filter hook usage

Hi there,

I’m trying to extend your nice plugin with a custom filter hook.

I’m trying to show some content on a singular post that only shows up if the post author is viewing the post, so they can edit and view some statistics on the post. But I am having trouble…

Here’s the code I used, in my functions.php file:

add_filter($if_shortcode_filter_prefix.'current_user_is_author','my_condition_evaluator');

function my_condition_evaluator($value)
    {
    $evaluate=current_user_can('author');
    return $evaluate;
    }

First, do I have the general syntax correct?
Second, do you know if my evaluation criteria of current_user_can(‘author’) will work for this? I’m using the shortcode on a singular post.

Thanks!
