Not sure if this goes here or not..
I am looking for a way to extract the username from XOOPS to include in a custom php page.
After some tweeking, what i came up with will print out the current user just fine using c-jay content. but when trying to pass thevariable $name to a custom php page, it doesnt seem to work. Are there any better ways of grabbing the current users name from xoops?

define('XOOPS_ROOT_PATH''/home/xoops');;
include 
'/home/xoops/header.php';
$mdm $xoopsUser->getVar('uname');
$name $mdm;
echo 
$name;
?>


thanks :)

I believe you'll need to add the following before the ?> in your code:

include(XOOPS_ROOT_PATH."/footer.php");

or perhaps in your installation you'd want

include '/home/xoops/footer.php';


This lets XOOPS actually post the page.
