Hello.
As you have probally notice I love s9y and the cool plugin system.
I am looking for a way to find out what user is currently logged in.
In another plugin I have found:

Code: Select all

$_SESSION['serendipityAuthedUser']

which tells me if a user is logged in.
How can I found out which user is logged in (userid) and what his rights are (e.g. 0 oer 255).

Why am I asking? Well I since my guestbook is almost done, I am thinking about an extendes user plugins which allows user to enter extra data like adress or phonenumber, which can other user view. I know this is not the purpose of a weblog, but I will probally need that in the future. So it would be nice.

Thanks
Phil

P.S. It would be nice if you would have a document (whcih can everybody edit, like the "who is using") , where someone can right down some api things that he/she found out, so other people can look and browse and do not need to ask the question again.

Hi!

You can access

Code: Select all

$_SESSION['serendipityUser']
$_SESSION['serendipityUserlevel']
$_SESSION['serendipityAuthorid']

for that. Those are defined within include/functions_config.inc.php, function serendipity_authenticate_author().

So have fun with that, and great to hear you like Serendipity

Basically our Wiki should support the creation of new documents within "User documentation", since that one is globally writeable. If it doesn't work, blame coWiki
