The xoops.org site uses true honest handwork When I get the mail that there is a new donation, I go and edit the block manually, as well as the user profile. There is no special code for this.

OK. I'm game. I may be new to OOP - but that's never stopped me before.

But, I wouldnt mind a little help along the way.

First task: Make {X_UID} available in xoopsblock.php so that I can pass the userid as a variable on the link to the paypal site. Rationale: I want to acknowledge donations like on your site - but paypal email addresses are not always the same as the email address for the registered user. I noticed that this is available in xoopsmailer.php and tried to understand how to replicate the functionality.

I can see that $this is an array that is constructed based on search criteria, and iterated to produce $user for each email that is sent... Thats fine: But which object is available to me to find the currently online user?

Thanks to anyone who can help.

$xoopsUser is the currently logged-in user, if that's what you mean.

Example:

le="color: #000000"><?php global $xoopsUser; // only needed if inside a function if (is_object($xoopsUser)) { $uid = $xoopsUser->getVar('uid'); $uname = $xoopsUser->getVar('uname'); echo "You are logged in as $uname ($uid).<br />n"; } else { echo "You are not logged in.<br />n"; }

I played with that a little in xoopsblock.php... but it always returned a uid of 1... Any hints? (code fragment below)

le="color: #000000"><?php global $xoopsUser; // only needed if inside a function if (is_object($xoopsUser)) { $uid = $xoopsUser->getVar('uid'); $uname = $xoopsUser->getVar('uname'); } else { $uid = 0; $uname = ""; } ... if ( $c_type == 'H' ) { $content = str_replace('{X_SITEURL}', XOOPS_URL.'/', $this->getVar('content', 'N')); $content = str_replace('{X_UID}', $uid, $content); return $content; // The above 3 lines replace the existing line below // return str_replace('{X_SITEURL}', XOOPS_URL.'/', $this->getVar('content', 'N')); }

Hint: Were you logged in as user #1?

Maybe I don't understand what information you're trying to get.

Nope - It returns 1 for ALL users.

You might be looking at cached content. Why are you putting the code in xoopsblock.php?

Bingo! Got it in one. Havnt checked yet, but that makes sense.

Thanks for your time. My next task - Learn how XOOPS modules are built, and turn this thing into a module...
