accessing bbuserinfo from plugged in include

[dcallan]

Hi all, I've looked at some examples by searching but nothing seems to work so I think it might be different for my set up.

I have included via the plugin system and file called leftnav.php and on this when one of the vb pages is displayed I want to display the links from the navbar area of vbulletin, links such as user cp and faq etc. My questions is though how can I check if the current user is logged in or not, so I can display the register and todays posts links instead.

I have tried to access the bbuserinfo array and nothing outputs. I have included leftnav.php via plugin system in the header template, so I believe everything in global.php should be available anyhow.

Please help, any thoughts appreiciated.

try

$vbulletin->userinfo['userid'];

ie

if ($vbulletin->userinfo['userid'])
{
//logged in
}

Good Man, it worked perfectly. Just do a print_r($vbulletin->userinfo) to get a look at the name of everything I need.

This is more of a php questin than a vb question. But I wonder how i would convert the $vbulletin->userinfo[] array into just the individual variables, so I could infact access them through say $userid $username and similar. Not really important but helpful if it could be done.

Thanks again for your help.
