I noticed in the System->Blocks area in a block you can use {X_SITEURL} and it is replaced by the sites URL at runtime.

I am looking for the user name and found X_UNAME in one of the email templates. I tryed using X_UNAME in my custom block and it doesnt seem to work.

Any suggestions on this or any other variable that I can use in a custom block to get the user name?

Thanks,
Kurt

It seems smarty tags don't work on custom blocks but you can apply them directly to the theme like this:

<{$xoops_uname}>

In some themes I have seen this:
<{if $xoops_isuser}> Hello <a href="<{$xoops_url}>/user.php"><{$xoops_uname}>a>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<a href="<{$xoops_url}>/user.php">your 
                  account 
a>&nbsp; <{else}> <a href="<{$xoops_url}>/register.php">Register 
                  now
aon mysite.com! <{/if}> <span class="right"> <{if $xoops_isuser}> 
                  <
a href="<{$xoops_url}>/user.php?op=logout">a> <{else}> &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<a href="<{$xoops_url}>/user.php">Logina
                  <{/if}> span>

Thanks snow77...

I knew these would work in templates, unfortunately, I'm looking for the username in a block.


Thanks again...

Kurt

I just read this post today by dave_uk, you can make it php code instead - that I why I think it can render ok in a custom block... you can read it HERE
