$post['USERNAME']

[Prudens]

Is there such a thing as $post['USERNAME']? Where can I find the variable that tells me the name of the post owner?

[Matt]

The variable for the user that is logged in and loading a page is {$mybb->user['username']}

[Prudens]

Where can I find the list of $mybb global variables?

[Matt]

This is a list of ones for users and usergroups: http://www.learnmybb.com/forums/thread-144.html

It's basically {$mybb->user['X']} or {$mybb->usergroup['X']} where X is the column name from the users/usergroups table.

[Prudens]

Hmm, how come I can't use $mybb->user['username'] in Plugins??

[Matt]

You can, you have to define $mybb first.

global $mybb;

Put that in your function and it'll work.

Question: How do I get the poster's name? For instance, I'm trying to edit the post bit so that it displays the FID4 of the topic poster... How do I do it

I think that is in the $post array.

[Prudens]

But whenever I say

global $post,$mybb;

echo $post['fid4'];

It only returns my FID4, not the FID4 of the poster.

NVM WORKS PERFECTLY! THNAK YOu!

If it's $post['X'] then it's information about that specific post, and about the author of that specific post.
