Hi,

I am trying to catch the user name (login) in a module i made myself.
I can do it like this:

$loggedInAs = $xoopsUser->getVar('uname');
print ("User:");
print $loggedInAs;

but if the user is not logged in he will be thrown into the default module without any of the XOOPS frameworks.

can anyone help me?

I'm not sure I completely understand what you're asking but what I believe you're asking is how to determine if a user is logged in and then redirect them somewhere if they aren't.... If that's what you're looking for then try:

sorry i was a bit unclear. it is kind of the other way around.

basically i just want to display the user name of the logged in user, or just as blank if he is not logged in.

this because i have dynamic functionality based on who is logged in in my module. if he is not logged in he will get the default functionality.

but i got it working with your help - thanks!!!

like this:

if (!is_object($xoopsUser)) {
// do nothing
}
else {
$loggedInAs = $xoopsUser->getVar('uname');
print ("User:");
print $loggedInAs;
}
