how to get the user id?

Hello,
Is there a variable I can use (within a theme) in order to represent a user id? My goal is to create dynamic link like the following:

http://www.domain.com/modules/myalbum/viewcat.php?uid=5

Because this seems to be the only way to get a "my pictures" page, when uid is your UID.

Thanks,
Jeff

Re: how to get the user id?

Don't think so, but don't take my word for it. Others have more experience with that. You could modify header.php or footer.php to specifically pass the uid as a smarty variable to the theme, and then alter the theme in the necessary place to receive that value. I assume you are wanting to hard code a link into the page template so that users will always have access to their album from a link a menu, or something like that?

Good luck,

Which uid? Current logged in user?
If yes, you have this variable... Enable Smart-debug and discover a lot of useful global variables...

{$xoops_userid} is what your want, with it's second part {$xoops_isuser}, for eliminating anonymous

And don't forget, all smarty tags in XOOPS are also enclosed in <> tags. ie. <{$xoops_uid}>
