logged in user name in header template??

[bobjones]

does anyone know a variable that contains the actual username of the logged in user that I can put in the header template? eval() wont read $vbulletin->userinfo['username']...

I tried stabbing in the dark at $show[user], $show[username], and [user, username] on $foruminfo, $threadinfo, $userinfo, and $vbotions to no avail

hrm. I don't know how koesher this is, but I just hacked the record in the template table and changed
".(($show['guest']) ? ("
<a href=\"/forum_login.php\">Sign In</a> | <a href=\"/forum/register.php\">Register</a>
") : ("
Welcome Back!
"))."
to
".(($show['guest']) ? ("
<a href=\"/forum_login.php\">Sign In</a> | <a href=\"/forum/register.php\">Register</a>
") : ("
Welcome, <b>".$vbulletin->userinfo['username']."</b>!
<a href=\"/forum/login.php?do=logout&logouthash=".$vbulletin->userinfo['logouthash']."\">
<font size=\"1\">Log Out</font></a>
"))."

It's a little buggy on the logout, but basically works. Hope this is useful to someone...

if you are wondering about the wierd PHP syntax, it's called a ternary operator. Read: http://www.php.net/manual/en/language.operators.comparison.php#language.operato rs.comparison.ternary

$bbuserinfo[username]

$bbuserinfo!!! awesome. It gave me [username], [userid], and [logouthash], which is exactly what i needed.

Thank you very much.

Any insight on checking $bbuserinfo or $show[guest] accurately on the logout page? As of now, when I click logout, it logs me out, but still shows $show[guest] = '' in the header until i go to another page...

The user is technically still logged in until the end of execution of the logout page.
