I have tried to make a costum block and it works fine with static information. But it could be nice to use the XOOPS variables. I whant to write out the users name with the line
{$xoops_uname} but XOOPS does not replace the text and simply writes {$xoops_uname}, a have tried editning some php files and here it works fine.

I running version 2.2.2

I may be mistaken, but I believe the smarty tags must be encapsulated in <>, therefore use <{$xoops_uname}>.

Hope this works for ya,
Cheers,

ok last post..

I was wrong in my forst post but after some research I have a queick method to bring in variables to a custom block. The block has to have 'content type' to php script. You van then bring in XOOPS variables, below I provide an example of code I am using on my site:

global $xoopsUser;
if ($xoopsUser) {
  //User is logged in, display welcome message
  $uname = $xoopsUser->getVar('uname');
  $userid = $xoopsUser->getVar('uname');
  $avatar = $xoopsUser->getVar('user_avatar');
 $last_login = formatTimestamp($xoopsUser->getVar('last_login'), 's');
  echo("<b>Welcome $uname</b><br /><br />");
  echo("<img src="{X_SITEURL}/uploads/$avatar" />");
  echo("<br /><br /><b>Your Last Login: $last_login");
} else {
  return false;
}


Hope this helps...

Thanks romdg, it works. sorry for my long time to response, I had a system down on my 2.2.3RC I sorry I updated, but ofcause i should have the lates version with all the new nice features.

To others remember to do something about the avatar, if the user dont have any you will get an error so do a check, or leave it out.

Thanks again romdg

Since you are seems to know a lot just another question. How do you write out the users groups. f.ex

you are member of following groups
Administrator
Superuser

I tried a lot of the examples on the site but nothing seems to work on my 2.2.2, many of the posts is more than one year old. I got one working but I only get an array with the group id's. I have no knowledge of php, just jsp but i working on it.

There is examples of smarty task script but I would really like to have it as block.

Hope we could have this Thread open for this question because it also ref. to XOOPS variables in blocks

After a bit of research I found the following forum entry.. have yet to try it out though but some core XOOPers appear to give their ok on the method used.

https://xoops.org/modules/newbb/viewtopic.php?topic_id=17703&forum=7&post_id=74646

You will have to modify your header.php file as described, as that queries the group information based on the uid. I may add the feature to my support site and will post with the results...

Let me know how this works...

Cheers,
Gregg
