Admin Link Menu Bar only visible to Admin

Put this is your my-hacks.php:
function is_admin () {
global $user_level, $siteurl;
get_currentuserinfo();
if ($user_level >= 9) { // admins, plus site op
return true;
} else {
return false;
}
}
Then where you want the link, do something like:
is_admin() ? print “admin link stuff” : “”;
or
if (is_admin()) { print “admin link stuff”;}
…whichever you’re more comfortable working with.

Ok, I’ve got some problems using chuckg’s solution.

I put this function into my-hacks.php, activated it in wordpress’s backend and put file into blog root directory.

function is_admin () {
global $user_level;
get_currentuserinfo();
if ($user_level == 10) { return true; }
else { return false; }
}

I try to summon it in sidebar.php:

<?php if (is_admin()) { echo '<ul><li>'; wp_loginout(); echo '</li><li><a href="/blog/wp-admin/">Admin Panel</a></li><li><a href="/blog/wp-admin/post.php">Add post</a></li><li><a href="https://stat.4u.pl/?******">Stats</a></li></ul>'; } ?>

And at the top of my blog whole function appears, shifting rest of content.

Can you probably help me with other, easier solution? Sth similar to smarty-like <ADMIN_BLOCK></ADMIN_BLOCK>. Or help to debug that function / way of using it.

There is not an easier solution. You will have to place it in a spot and style it so that it does not cause the shift if it matters to you (it wouldn’t to me since I am the only one that would see the shift). I use something similar in all my sites (like adding a themeswitcher to test changes before going “live”).

But I dont’ understand why content of function is_admin apears on the site. Why it is visible, instead of be parsed by PHP and used in conditional statement in sidebar.

Can you copy&paste me your function hiding content from non-admin and non-user, and way of using it?

kayaker, you must wrap your function is_admin () { … declaration inside of <?php … ?> or it will just be interpreted as HTML.
