Which is the function which returns the username of an id?

And how can I get the username (or id) from a user looking a page? (want to make something like: hello "name")

Here is an example of something I use. It should get you going in the direction you want.

Place the code in your theme.html file where you want it to appear.

<{if $xoops_isuser}> Hi again <a href="<{$xoops_url}>/user.php"><{$xoops_uname}></a> | <{/if}> <{if $xoops_isuser}><a href="<{$xoops_url}>/user.php?op=logout">Logout</a> <{else}> Welcome to <{$xoops_sitename}>, Guest<{/if}>

I am no php wizard. It can probably be done with proper coding. The user id variable I think is:

<{$user_uid}>

sorry couldn't be of any more help.

I suppose there is a return_uname_from_id(5) to get the users with id 5 username. It can be easily done with a MySQL query but I thought if I can find it ready.

try

xoops_getLinkedUnameFromId();

i'm not sure if something needs to be declared before hand tho.. ie.. global $xoopsUser or $myts etc..
