I use Page.ss for most (99%) of all my pages. I have a couple of pages that has part of the content that needs to be hidden unless you are logged in.

It started as just one page so it was easy because I if used a <% if URLSegment != Page %> Show Content <% else %> Show the one page content and then check to see if they are logged in (currentmember)

Now I have 2-3 pages that I need to do this for and I'm wondering if there is a way to do a Case statement on URLSegment?

My only other alt which I don't find effecient is to create a page type for each page.

Anyone with a good suggestion.

The template parser doesn't support a switch / case statement. It does support if .. else_if .. else_if .. else which pretty much does the same thing. Though depending on how complex you want to get it might be cleaner to do a PHP which returns the result. Keeps the template much cleaner

function ShowProtectedContent() {
$return = true;
switch($this->URLSegment) {
  case 'home': $return = false; break;
...
}
return $return;
}

<% if ShowProtectedContent %>
...
<% end_if %>
