user defined tag & frontend user

[pgherveou]

Hi guys

I would like to get the id of the frontend user logged in a "user defined tag"
I know I can get the username with this code

Code: Select all

$tpl_vars = $gCms->smarty->get_template_vars();
$tpl_vars[$username];

and then make a mysql request to get the id.

but is there a quicker way ?

I would like to know too if it is possible to set frontend user properties in a tag

thinks for your help

try just {$username} it should work.

Do you mean I can use {$username} in a User Defined Tag? I can not get it to work. I also tried echo $username, but that does not work either.

I'm trying to make something like the VisitorStats module, extended with the $username, or preferably one of the user properties.
