X_USERNAME (like X_SITEURL)?

I'm trying to populate the user name in a custom HTML block. While editing the XOOPS page says use {X_SITEURL} to display your site. How do I find out what the other options are? I'd like to display the username but think it's overkill to create PHP module just for this?

So is there a coresponging code/tag/label to get the user name? I've looked high and low and could only find references to <{$xoops_user}> (BTW didnt work for my needs). What is the difference of these two? How can I determine what other variables are at my disposal?

in your PHP file
$member_handler = &xoops_gethandler( 'member' );
$user = $member_handler->getUser( $uid );
if (is_object($user ) and !empty($user ))
{
$xoopsTpl -> assign( 'my_username', $user -> getVar( 'username' ) );
}
in your html template

<{$my_username}>

Hi John_N, not what he wanted I guess!

I would say look for X_SITEURL in class/xoopsblock.php and kernel/block.php and make there something like:

$member_handler = &xoops_gethandler( 'member' );
$user = $member_handler->getUser( $uid );
if (is_object($user ) and !empty($user ))
{
return str_replace('{X_USERNAME}', $user -> getVar( 'username' ), $this->getVar('content', 'N'));
} else {
return str_replace('{X_USERNAME}', 'Guest', $this->getVar('content', 'N'));
}

I did indeed :) I was looking for the HTML code; didnt want to take the extra effort of converting the block from HTML to PHP JUST to get this token...

Thanks for BOTH your replies! I'll try the suggestion (from FrankBlack) tonite.

Thanks again!

}


I'm a little perplexed....do I create a seperate function for this code? I'm still a little new to XOOPS (bit not programming) so any details you can provide is good!

Thanks again!
