[wp-hackers] checking roles in a plugin?

[Mindshare Studios]

Hi -

How can you do a simple role check within a plugin before echoing some
content to the screen?

I'm trying to do something like this:

if (current_user_can('edit_posts')) {
	$var = 'sweet!';
}

But that isn't working at all. Any ideas?

Thanks,
