IF statement when viewing your own profile

I'm trying to figure out if there is a variable available so I can hide (or show) something from members when they are viewing their own profile. Is that possible in the layout templates?

Hi

That should be possible using an if state checking if current user is the user, so:


{if $[current_user] == $[user]}
   What you wabt to display
{/if}

Thst shoould do it. Place it where you want the content to display.

I would recommend comparing against the user's ID rather than the $[user] variable itself as there's no guarantee the HTML that gets produced by that variable will remain consistent.

{if $[current_user.id] == $[user.id]}
    Something you want to show only to the user the profile belongs to
{/if}

{if $[current_user.id] != $[user.id]}
    Something you want to show only to other users
{/if}
