Hey!

I am trying to setup Dynamic Link Creation. Here is an example:



As you can see I need to have the [username of logged in person] changed to the username of logged in person. Is there anyway I can do this using blocks, static pages, whatever?

Thanks!

The current user's username is available in the global variable $_USER['username'] (it's empty for anonymous users).

bye, Dirk

How can I use that on a page so it changes to the username of the logged in user?

Anyone?

I already gave you the answer above ...

Yea, but whenever I put $_USER['username'] on a page nothing happens? What am I doing wrong? If I am doing something stupid I don't know it.

I am confused!

that will only work in your header.thtml, a phpblock, or a PHP enabled staticpage.

Thank you!

One question: I put that into my lib-common.php file then I call it when I make the block. It shows the link but it does not show the username part, what am I doing wrong?

Also: how do I make it so that it is an active link like this?

Thanks!

you need to be a bit more specific... what exactly are you putting into your lib-common (and why not in your lib-custom?)? how are you calling it?

try thisnow just call user_link() where you need this link to be inside your phpblock. or, easier, just put this code inside your phpblock.

Victory!

I owe you one! Thanks!
