   I'd like to add some code to my author.php page that will display additional markup depending on the author's role. I'm using the User Role Editor plugin to add additional roles for site contributors. Basically, they are both contributor level, but I want to categorize the contributors.
   How can I determine the role/capability of the author of a post, and show the appropriate markup? Thanks for any help.

   Thanks SS-I've looked over the codexes and lots of threads, but I'm still having trouble. I basically need something like,

   is_author_category ...

   I've tried this:

   global $current_user;
   $current_user = wp_get_current_user();
   $var = the_author_meta('user_level',$current_user);

   but that always shows 10, even if I'm logged out and no matter what capabilities are assigned to the author.
