Or operators in template if statements?

[oxym0r0n]

Is there anyway to use an or operator in templates? 

For example, I want to make it so that an element on a profile can be seen by only the user who owns that profile and staff.

The code I want to use is something like this:

{if $[current_user.username] == $[user.username] || $[current_user.is_staff]}
//ELEMENT
{/if}

Using || for or just makes the whole element disappear to all users, is there a way to do OR statements?

Unfortunately not at this time, no - this is something I spent ages trying to get to work, before just asking and finding out, haha.
Not sure if there's any plans to include it in the future, either. Sorry. =[

This is something I've really wanted for a while now too.

Okay, thanks. It would make my life so much easier :/ Any chance that they might add this feature eventually Tim?

I certainly hope so.

<SPAN style="display:none" class="{if $[current_user.username] == $[user.username]}one{/if}{if $[current_user.is_staff]}one{/if}">
internal HTML stuff
</SPAN>
<style type="text/css">
.one, .oneone {display:inline;}
</style>




see if that works
