Integrate view's button with ion auth's user role in codeigniter

Suppose I am logged in as admin group, then when I access main_page, there is an 'Export' button. But if I am in members group, it will not be showed up.

Recently, I was thinking to use if logic in views. Is it right? Or I still have to use logic on controller?

Solution

  • You can check user type in controller and pass it to view

    Controller

    if ($this->ion_auth->is_admin())
{
  $this->data['user_type'] = 'admin';
}
else if($this->ion_auth->logged_in()){ 
   $this->data['user_type'] = 'member';
}

    Now you can use same variable in view to process your data. Yes you have to write ternary operator/if condition to check

    View

    ($user_type == 'admin') ? 'statment_code_here' : 'statment_code_here';

    In case of multiple conditions check in view, you can use if else statements.
