I don't really want to deal with users and groups. I have no need for
groups in this application at all.
Basically just visitors/users/admin
basically, visitors have no login information
users have been authenticated and have admin flag set to 0
admins have been authenticated and have an admin flag set to 1 or
something like that
I guess i could use the same idea as you said. THe problem is how do i
get that data to a global view.. thats what i'm working on
I'm guessing in my default template i can echo some variable and then
i just have to make sure that every controller actually sets something
for that variable. Basically i just want to know what the best way of
doing that is.. I don't want to add an element to every view though..
that seems
ugly.. but may have to do.
