How to make part of theme visible only to listing owners

There's a new version of this article

It is possible to display certain information (part of the theme file) only to the listing owner using this conditional:

<?php if($listing['User']['user_id'] == $this->auth->id): ?>
 
This will be visible only to the listing owner
 
<?php endif; ?>

If you want to display certain information to listing owners and site admins as well, use this conditional:

<?php if ( $listing['User']['user_id'] == $this->auth->id || $this->auth->admin ): ?>
 
This will be visible only to the listing owner and site admin
 
<?php endif; ?>

<?php if($listing['User']['user_id'] == $User->id || $this->Access->isAdmin()): ?>
 
This will be visible only to the listing owner and site admin
 
<?php endif; ?>

The above examples will only work in theme file where the $listing array is available:

• /listings/detail.thtml
• /listings/detail_tabs.thtml
• /listings/detail_compact.thtml

For below files the $listing variable is available only inside the foreach($listings AS $listing) loop:

• /listings/listings_blogview.thtml
• /listings/listings_blogview_compact.thtml
• /listings/listings_tableview.thtml
• /listings/listings_thumbview.thtml
• /listings/listings_masonry.thtml
• /modules/listings.thtml
