Hi,

I just installed xoops2.0.7.3 and created a new block.

I have added some HTML lines in the block, That worked fine.

I then added php lines in the block (i.e. phpinfo()), that also worked fine.

Now I want to show the "username" but have no idea how to get the user info. I tried

$username = $xoopsUser->getVar('uname');

but got "$xoopsUser is not an object".

Please tell me how to get $xoopsUser.

Thanks!!

Regards,
Marcus

global $xoopsUser;
$uname = is_object($xoopsUser) ? $xoopsUser->getVar('uname') : '(guest)';
echo $uname;

Hi Dave,

I got '(guest)' using your method!

more info of what I have done:
1. I add in the new block I created.
2. I added your method in the xx.php.
3. $xoopsUser is not yet set. (so I got (guest))

I believe I need to add something like "include mainfile.php; " to setup the system objects before I may use $xoopsUser, right?

Please give me more details. I am a newbie!

Thanks, Macus

Hi all;

After I added "include mainfile;", I can use $xoopsUser now.

Thanks.

Marcus.
