different author templates for different roles

I found the following what I thought would do exact what I wanted but seems to do the exact opposite which I don’t think it’s supposed to! It shows contents by the role of whom ever is logged in and displays the logged in usernot the user on the authors page! I put this in fucntions then called it on the authors opage:

hi keesiemeijer,

thanks for the reply, but was wanting templates by user role rather then indivduly applying templates

[deleted] was being stupid, worked it out:

<?php $var = get_the_author_meta('user_level');
if ($var == 1) {
?> <b>Ranking:</b> <?php echo cp_module_ranks_getRank($authordata->ID); ?></br>
<?php }?>
