Fetch User Information

[marocnl]

Hello,
I am writing a script and have the base function working. Now i would like to move it into vbulletin. I am unable to figure out how to get it to use vbulletins user information (just a username is enough).

Can someone tell me the variable I need for this (and any required includes to retrieve it). I intend to run the page inside an Iframe so need to know how to make a full page that just outputs the users username (if logged in) otherwise it just posts "Guest".

Anyone who can help is greatly appreciated. Thankyou

Take a look at line 395 of the index.php file in your forums directory. ;)

Do i need to include/require any particular files? or should

<?
echo $vbulletin->userinfo['username'];
?>

work ok (on its own as a newfile.php) ? Sorry for the strange error most of the time i've just modded the stock files not actually wrote custom when i need intergration.

// require backend
$curdir = getcwd();
chdir('./forum/');
require_once('global.php');
chdir($curdir);

// display username
echo $vbulletin->userinfo['username'];
