Conditional "is author"

[bloh]

Is there any conditional " if user is author" for your addon?

in what context? The item record contains the field "user_id" which is the author of the item. There are several case where there are checks to see whether the viewing user is the owner of the item (or items).

I need you to give me a specific example of what you are trying to do in order to help.

I only wanted the author to leave comment, so I will add conditional statement to check whether the user is the author of the item, and show the comment box only if the user is the author.

This will work for that...

<xen:if is="{$item.user_id}  == {$visitor.user_id}">
