BTW: Simple user permissions (logged in, not-logged in) are just fine, but however, you may have even more fun and flexibility by adding a new user "roles" field to your Users category in ItemManager:



This way you can show relevant content depending on the user role, for example:

PHP Code:

if($role->value == 'user') {
    echo 'Content for users only';
} elseif($role->value == 'admin') {
    echo 'Content for admins only';
} elseif($role->value == 'superuser') {
    echo 'Superusers content';
} else {
    echo 'User has no role selected';
} 


Your complete code in template.php file world might then look like this:

PHP Code:

if(!empty($_SESSION['loggedin'])) {
    $manager = new IManager();
    $catClass = $manager->getCategoryClass();
    $category = $catClass->getCategory('name=Users');
    $itemClass = $manager->getItemClass();
    $itemClass->limitedInit($category->get('id'), (int)$_SESSION['userid']);
    $user = $itemClass->items[(int)$_SESSION['userid']];
    if(!$user) {die('User data not found');}
    $role = $user->fields->roles;

    if($role->value == 'user') {
        echo 'Content for users only';
    } elseif($role->value == 'admin') {
        echo 'Content for admins only';
    } elseif($role->value == 'superuser') {
        echo 'Superusers content';
    } else {
        echo 'User has no role selected';
    }
} 


Note: If users already exist, these users may fail to be synced to new "roles" field, you should re-save/update users in admin manually or by ItemManager API call:

PHP Code:

<?php
$manager = new IManager();
$catClass = $manager->getCategoryClass();
$category = $catClass->getCategory('name=Users');
$itemClass = $manager->getItemClass();
$itemClass->init($category->get('id'));
foreach($itemClass->items as $user) {
    if($user->save()) {
        echo '<p>User name: <strong>'.htmlspecialchars($user->name).'</strong>  was successfully updated</p>';
    }
}
