Ive been trying to make an admin bar that contains information about the site on all pages that I want only viewable to Super Admins. For some reason I can’t get it to display.

I have tried

{if group_id == '1'}
    <header id="adminHeader">Hello Super Admin person</header>
{/if}

{if member_group == '1'}
    <header id="adminHeader">Hello Super Admin person</header>
{/if}

I even tried the generic

{if logged_in}

with no luck.  HELP!

Are you running a Freelancer license?  I wonder if this is a restriction since it doesn’t include the member module. I’ve used all three of your snippets successfully with a commercial license…

Whats funny, is that I am working with a commercial license, and another site that I own that uses the freelance license works fine.

If you just have {group_id} on the page does anything output? Are you logged into the control panel on the same domain? Even if one has www and the other doesn’t that could possible create the problem.

Weird, it has it listed as a 3 (guest).

The admin is on a different domain (beta.site.com) even though it is hooked up to the same database (don’t ask). And testing it on the beta that was the issue. Thanks.

The different domain is probably the culprit then. Is it possible to get it on the same domain?

Eventually. My project is low priority, but I can work on a different (beta) url until it can be changed… just no admins will be able to see the new bar. Which is fine. Site isnt being used yet.

Hi mechwd,

The admin is on a different domain (beta.site.com) even though it is hooked up to the same database (don’t ask).

Then this is your only issue and you seem happy with this until you push the site to be used.

Feel free to start a new thread if you have any more questions.
