What is the best way to get the currently logged in user id?

well if you want it in smarty use the customcontent module

if you want it in a udt, you can get a reference to the FrontEndUsers module and use the functions in FrontEndUsers.api.php

[genepilot]

This is from within a module in php.

[calguy1000]

$feu =& $this->GetModuleInstance('FrontEndUsers');
$uid = $feu->LoggedInId();
