Have button not show for a guests profile

I have the following that goes to a users profile, but I would like it to not show for when a guest has posted, but still link to a normal users profile when they do a post.

<a href="$[post.created_by.link.href]" class="button" role="button">$[post.created_by.name]'s Profile</a>

to clarify, you want the button to appear based on whether or not the post is created by a member, rather than based on if the current user is a member?

When I am logged in to to the forum and look at a thread in the Guest Room created by a guest it has, ('s Profile) which looks odd, it would be better if the button was not showing for a post created by a guest.

Wrap the button in an if statement:

{if $[user.is_member]}
stuff
{/if}

Thanks Kami the if statement was where I was stuck, until you posted. The following one had the desired effect.

{if $[current_user.is_member] && !$[post.created_by.is_guest]}
stuff
{/if}

Glad you got it (: I'm not entirely sure why you'd have to declare that the post must be made by a member AND not a guest but /shrug whatever works!

After your comment I did a test and found that $[current_user.is_member] && is not actually needed, so have removed it.

"current user" should not be used in this instance at all. as stated, it only takes effect when the current user -- as in, the person who is viewing the page -- fulfills the conditions required.

This is why I asked if you wanted to have the button display if the person viewing was a member, or if the person who was posting was. the $[user] variable affects the latter, while $[current_user] affects the former.

If, as you stated, you wanted the button to appear only if the person who posted was a member, then the code I gave you originally should have worked. If it doesn't, could you post the template here and I'll have a look.

Think when I did the OP, I might confused myself with what I actually wanted.

{foreach $[post]}

So what are you looking for, exactly? You have two options:

1. Show the button based on the poster's membership or guest status
2. Show the button based on the VIEWER's membership or guest status

?

What I have now is working, so I think we can close this one off.

{if !$[post.created_by.is_guest]}
<a href="$[post.created_by.link.href]" class="button" role="button">$[post.created_by.name]'s Profile</a>
<a href="$[post.created_by.pm_href]" role="button" class="button pm-button">Msg $[post.created_by.name]</a>
{/if}

sounds good! glad you sorted it (:
