   Basically what it says in the title.

   I'm trying to set up a conditional that says "if the author id is "1", display the_content, else display the_excerpt." Problem is, I'm not much with php syntax. I've got this so far:

   <div class="entry">
   <?php if ( $author_id == '1' ) { ?>
   <?php the_content(''); ?>
   <?php } else { ?>
   <?php the_excerpt('Continue reading &raquo;'); ?>
   <?php } ?>
   </div><!--/entry -->

   Thanks in advance for any help.

   Ok, cool, I got it working by changing "$author_id" to "get_the_author_id()". Full code:

   <div class="entry">
   <?php if ( get_the_author_id() == '1' ) { ?>
   <?php the_content('Continue reading &raquo;'); ?>
   <?php } else { ?>
   <?php the_excerpt('Continue reading &raquo;'); ?>
   <?php } ?>
   </div><!--/entry -->

   Hope this is useful for someone else too.
