Hi, I am building a module and i would like to know how can I read the real name of a user from a specific "uid". If possible, i would like to read the config of news module to see if I have selected the username or real name for showing under title in the news. I tried using the function uname() from /modules/news/class.newsstory.php but with no luck! If someone can help me...

You might try this..

$realname = $xoopsUser->getVar('name');

Give that a shot.

I think this is for the user that is logged in. I want to read the real name from a specific user's "uid". Thanks for posting.

Try this:

$member_handler =& xoops_gethandler('member');
$member =& $member_handler->getUser($uid);
$uname = $member->getVar('uname','E');

$uid is the userid you wish to query of course.
