Never mind. So far two posts... ZERO answers... I kept banging on it
and fixed it.
Instead of using ($session->check...), which now I learned returns
true or false, I am now using ($session->read...) which works well.
I guess I have to figure out the right combination of things to put
into a post in order to receive an answer from this group. I will keep
trying.
In case any other newbie has this issue, here is the code that works:
<div id="navbar">
<ul>
<?php if ($session->read('Auth.User.group_id') == 1): ?>
<li><?php echo $html->link(__
('distributors',true),''.'/'.'distributors'); ?></li>
<li><?php echo
$html->link(__('dealers',true),''.'/'.'dealers'); ?
></li>
<li><?php echo
$html->link(__('groups',true),''.'/'.'groups'); ?></
li>
<li><?php echo
$html->link(__('users',true),''.'/'.'users'); ?></
li>
<?php elseif ($session->read('Auth.User.group_id') ==
2): ?>
<li><?php echo $html->link(__
('distributors',true),''.'/'.'distributors'); ?></li>
<?php elseif ($session->read('Auth.User.group_id') ==
3): ?>
<li><?php echo
$html->link(__('dealers',true),''.'/'.'dealers'); ?
></li>
<?php endif;?>
<?php if (!$session->check('Auth.User.id')): ?>
<li><?php echo $html->link(__
('login',true),''.'/'.'users'.'/'.'login'); ?></li>
<?php else: ?>
<li><?php echo $html->link(__
('logout',true),''.'/'.'users'.'/'.'logout'); ?></li>
<?php endif;?>
</ul>
</div>
