[support] Change home page from story to page?

[sander-martijn]

My solution for now was to change node.tpl.php to have this at the top:
<?php
  global $user;
  $approved_roles = array('superuser', 'editor'); 
?>

and in the header area:
<?php if (is_array($user->roles)) {
  if (count(array_intersect($user->roles, $approved_roles)) > 0){ ?>
      <h2><a href="<?php print $node_url ?>" title="<?php print $title 
?>"><?php print $title ?></a></h2>
<?php }else{ ?>
      <h2><?php print $title ?></h2>
<?php }} ?>

Thanks to the help on this list and the info on this page: 
http://drupal.org/node/104444

Now if you're not an admin it doesn't link to the page, but if you are 
it does so you can edit it.  The only concern I really have about this 
solution is maintenance - right now there are only the above listed 
roles for admin editing.  However if we add "manager", "content 
producer" etc, then a change has to be made to node.tpl.php every time 
that happens.  That is of course not ideal for a single use template 
like this and would be completely unworkable for a reusable template. 

Anyone know of a way to query whether the user has edit rights on the 
node (no matter what their role) instead of whether they're in a 
particular role?  Then I could rewrite this in a way that is more 
maintainable.

thanks
