alright,
built myself a site,
pretty much a simple forum
ability for user to post , edit, delete w/e.

right now, if a user wants to delete, or edit a post they have to go to a master list of the things they have submitted.

just having trouble grasping the idea of or implementation of user levels like on this forum where a moderator will see edit/delete buttons on every post, or the user that submitted it will see that also but a normal viewer will not.

any way to clarify me how to implement it? thanks

Think object oriented.

You a table with permissions, call "Groups", each permission is 1/0. Create an object that pulls all the permissions each user has based on their "Group". Then, create a function that calls the permissions object and returns a true or false for each permission

So you would have an object for "permissions" that has:

edit_own_posts = 1
edit_others_posts = 1
delete_others_posts = 1
etc.

Then you would have a function that you would call:

CanThey('edit_own_posts') and it would return true/false.

You would also override some of your permissions if they are a moderator.

also use an if statement where depending on the permissions it will use a seperate template part.

example:
Mod (edit/delete on all)
if($level>=2){
echo'<a href="?edit">Edit</a> <a href="?delete">Delete</a> <a href="?quote">Quote</a>';
}
else{
echo'<a href="?quote">Quote</a>';
}

or something like that.
