I have a prospect that is looking to hide the who's online module from appearing to regular members but want the Admin/Mods to be able to see.

Shauna seemed to think it may be possible with If Statements but if I could some specific it would really help me out.

    If the client has a custom theme they can use the themehooks to output the session user roles as body CSS classes and hide the "Who's Online Module" on with CSS using those classes.

    So in a situation where they are using customize theme they can't because they don't have the ability to make a theme hook?

    Is there anything in the Gdn.meta they could use?

    What about dem dere smarty tags? Is it possible to identify roles or users with a smarty tag?

    If not, what about restricting the Who's Online module to only show up in a specific category, then restricting access to the category?

    @BrendanParm using gdn.meta I believe this would work:

    for(var i = 0; i < gdn.meta.Roles.length; i++) {
    var role = (gdn.meta.Roles[i]).replace(' ', '');
    $('body').addClass('Role_'gdn.meta.Roles[i]);
}

    The code above can be added to a pocket and add user's roles to the body tag. From that you can use it to hide the "Who's Online Module" with CSS.
