Problem with Show Region

Problem with Show Region

I have a security table set up where GroupID 1 is User, 2 is Superuser and 3 is Admin. I've been using this with SA's Show Region without problems.

On one page I am trying to use a rule that says to show an Admin Sermons region if <?php echo $_SESSION['UserGroupID']; ?> >= 2 In other words, I want it to show if the user is a Superuser or Admin.

But for some reason, when I add it to the div it removes the content if it's a Superuser signed in. It shows it if a User or Admin are signed in.

Also, there's a rule applied to a Menu div called If Not Superuser which is supposed to prevent that div from showing if it is the Superuser. It does prevent the content, but not the <p> that says Menu, even though rule is before that in the code.

I've attached the files. Any help would be appreciated. Thank you.

are you sure the userlevels are being set as you expect?

add the following code to your page just before the </body> tag:
<?php var_dump($_SESSION); ?>

this will show the contents of the session variables.

I suspect the user you are testing with has the userlevel set to 2 when it should be set to 1,


for the menu issue, you have a paragraph at line 105:
<p class="infopost">Menu</p>

outside the access rules, this is probably the cause of the menu you are seeing.

Jason, you rock!

I knew this used to work, so I couldn't figure out what happened. Your script showed that the security group ID was 0. I don't even have a zero! But sure enough, back in the database it was set to zero. hmmm.

I tracked it down to a page where they can update their registration info. Even though they did not have access to the user GroupID field, it was setting it to 0 in the database whenever they updated their info.

All better now - thanks too for catching the menu duplication.

WebAssist software is great, but it doesn't stop dumb user errors. Thanks so much for the great support!
