Hello,

I would like to show some button on article only to author of the post.

Is it possible to do something like this?

Thank you!

It's definitely possible. In your theme's template.php you could do:

function yourthemename_preprocess_node(&$variables) {
  global $user;
  if ($variables['uid'] == $user->uid) {
    $variables['is_author'] == TRUE;
  }
}

Then in your node.tpl.php, you can put:

if (isset($is_author) && $is_author) {
  // Insert button here
}

in the article template, you can write some php to compare the values of the logged in user and the node's author

some thing like this....

global $user;
if ($user->uid == $node->uid) {print "hey you are the article's author";} else {print "some one else wrote this one.";}

Just replace my output text with the code for your button.
