Hi I would like to know how I would be able to track/display the users id and login name within another module which I'm making?

Thanks in advance.

isn't there some sort of global thing like xoops_use

So that when a user goes into a module you can welcome them and display some information about them by name.

{$xoops_uname} will display the username

Thank you for that.

Now can that be called outside of a template file, I can't head my head around those things, and does a global need to be set in the page calling it?

Maybe I'm asking this wrong.

I have a plain php file, not a template, and I am wanting to dispaly users name. I have seen how it can be done using templates but can not figure it out for a plain php file.

Thanks in advance

Re: tracking users

include "mainfile.php"; //adjust to the proper path to mainfile.php

if ($xoopsUser) {
  echo $xoopsUser->getVar("uid");
  echo $xoopsUser->getVar("uname");
} else {
  echo "Anonymous User";
}

I thought {$xoops_uname} in custom modules is non-usable...

...or was it the blocks...
