Hey Peeps,

Happy New Year!

I’m currently using EE 2.5.2 and I’m trying to add a “pending” status to my status group that is only available for super admin users. I’ve added the pending status to my statuses list and I’m able to flag my entries as pending. But I need to display my pending status entries using the same templates when a super admin wants to preview them. I’ve tried using something like the following but it doesn’t seem to work:

{exp:channel:entries channel="news" limit="5" status="{if group_id == '1'}open|pending{if:else}open{/if}" orderby="date" sort="desc"}
...
{/exp:channel:entries}

Is there anything else I can try to make this work? Any help is appreciated.

Thank you,

Mike

It looks like the only way to do it is like so:

{if group_id == "1"}
{exp:channel:entries channel="news" limit="5" status="open|pending" orderby="date" sort="desc"}
...display pending statuses for super admin
{/exp:channel:entries}  
{if:else}
{exp:channel:entries channel="news" limit="5" status="open" orderby="date" sort="desc"}
...display only open status for all other non super admin members
{/exp:channel:entries}  
{/if}
