Demonstrates a simple way to control the Participants Database list display based on the logged-in user

pdb-list-usercontent.php

<?php
/**
 * participants database list template that shows special content for logged-in users
 */
if ( is_user_logged_in() )
{
  do_shortcode( '[pdb_list search=true template="edit-link"]' );
}
else
{
  do_shortcode( '[pdb_list search=true]');
}

This is pretty straightforward, after checking on the user's logged-in status, you can determine which shortcode is used to display the list. The shortcode in the "do_shortcode" function can be anything you need it to be.
