Show item if user logged in

Quick question and probably a simple one for experts here.

At the moment I show the number of words in a post and the number of views it has received.

Is it possible to make showing this conditional on a user being logged in. So regular visitors wouldn't see the information but logged-in users would.

I'm assuming this is a case of some simple php "if" command. But I'm no php coder hence asking for help.

Although at first I plan on using this for a simple thing, the idea is to learn the methodology and then I can use it for more elaborate features.

Thanks for reading.

urm, this is off the top of my head, but you should be able to change lines that look remotely close to this :-

<?php $Item->views ?>

to look like :

<?php if( is_logged_in() ) $Item->views ?>

It worked great thanks. Is there something similar to check not logged in?

if( ! is_logged_in() )
{
  echo 'not logged in.. :-)';
}

Thanks, just as you posted that I'd solved it myself. I've now got my site set up so that it only shows Google Adverts if a user isn't logged in.

So now my registered users have the benefit of no advertising.

Not that I make much anyway. :)
