Possible to tell from store front if super admin is logged into back end?

[sarae]

We are wanting to have a link from the product pages that takes a super admin to the page to edit that product. This link should only show if a super admin is logged into the back end. Is this possible to do, since the store front and the "back office" are essentially 2 different sites that you log into and an administrator isn't actually logged into the store like a customer is?

 

I've tried the following just for testing purposes:

 

Added to index.php:

 

$smarty->assign('isSuperAdmin', Employee::isSuperAdmin());

 

With this added into index.tpl:

{if $isSuperAdmin}

<h1>You are a Super Admin!</h1>

{else}

<h1>You are not a super admin.</h1>

{/if}

 

The result was the <h1> printed "You are not a super admin", whether or not I was logged into the back office. But I'm guessing this Employee class is for the back office, and not the store front.

 

Any advice is much appreciated!
