I'm trying to create an ocmod for the admin panel. Basically, I want to add 2 buttons in the dashboard sidebar but only visible for users with administrator permissions.

How can I achieve that?

Note the custom views and controllers are ready.

CodePudding user response：

If you want to change anything in client page via login in admin panel as admin - can use this solution

In any controller you need add following:

if (isset($this->session->data['user_id']) && $this->session->data['user_id']) {
    $data['admin'] = true;
}   else {
    $data['admin'] = false;
}

Than in same controller's twig:

{% if admin %}
buttons on client side if admin is logged in in panel on the same browser
{% endif %}
