I want to show a custom link for each role on my site. To do so, I will put PHP code in my page.tpl.php. I want to add an if statement that checks if the current user's role is equal to something, then print the link.

How can I get the current user role?

    Putting PHP in page.tpl.php violates Drupal programming style, of-course the extendibility of your theme. Better way is to make a block and give permission to it through block configuration page.

  • The code just check the user has two roles; whatever they are are, the control statement is executed.
