Getting Userid

[BeatificFaith]

I would like to use the userid field in a query in order to place the users custom field information in specified places on the member.php page.

I've tried using: $vbulletin->userinfo[userid] and $userinfo[userid] but both display my userid on every page, instead of the actual users id of the profile.

How would I instead call the user id of the profile instead of the user id of the viewer?

try $post[userid] ?

No, that doesn't work either . AFAIK that displays the id of the person who posted the post in a thread.

$userinfo[userid] is the userid of the profile you are viewing
$bbuserinfo / $vbulletin->userinfo [userid] is for the current user
$post[userid] is the poster's id

etc

I see my mistake... I was attempting to assign $userinfo[userid] to a variable as a plugin. When inserting $userinfo[userid] into the actual member.php template it displays the user id.

I'm still unsure why I cannot insert it into a variable in a plugin, but this works better for me anyway.

Thanks to all who helped.

Which hook are you using for your plugin? The variable may be defined later, or you could be inside a class/function meaning it's not in scope.
