Display {USER_NAME} and {USER_GROUP} in anycontent.php

[Mimer]

How can I display {USER_NAME} and {USER_GROUP} values in anycontent.php?

After searching the forum I've tried adding:

Code Select Expand

require('include/init.inc.php');
That didn't work.

Then I've tried using quotation marks "{USER_NAME}" and "{USER_GROUP}" and that didn't work.

More code:

Code Select Expand

if (USER_GROUP=='Registered') {
        starttable("100%", "<b>Registered Member</b>");

        ?>
        <tr><td class="tableb" >
        Hello {USER_NAME} <br /><br />
        You're currently logged in as {USER_GROUP} Member.<br />
You have access to all pictures in the gallery. <br />
In the category Registred Members Galleries you have your own category {USER_NAME} where you can create your own Albums to upload your own files.<br />
Your Albums can hold 20 MB. Make the Albums public or private or protect it with a password for other Members.<br />

It doesn't works that way !
First of all you don't need to include any files cause those are constant and global

Either use php's echo/print to output USER_NAME/USER_GROUP, something like this

Code Select Expand


<tr><td class="tableb" >
        Hello <?php echo USER_NAME; ?> <br /><br />
        You're currently logged in as <?php echo USER_GROUP; ?> Member.<br />
You have access to all pictures in the gallery. <br />
In the category Registred Members Galleries you have your own category <?php echo USER_NAME; ?> where you can create your own Albums to upload your own files.<br />
Your Albums can hold 20 MB. Make the Albums public or private or protect it with a password for other Members.<br />

or use heredoc syntax

Code Select Expand


if (USER_GROUP=='Registered') {
        starttable("100%", "<b>Registered Member</b>");
$user_name = USER_NAME;
$user_group = USER_GROUP;
echo<<<EOT

        <tr><td class="tableb" >
        Hello {$user_name} <br /><br />
        You're currently logged in as {$user_group} Member.<br />
You have access to all pictures in the gallery. <br />
In the category Registred Members Galleries you have your own category {$user_name} where you can create your own Albums to upload your own files.<br />
Your Albums can hold 20 MB. Make the Albums public or private or protect it with a password for other Members.<br />

Ok thanks
I used the heredoc.

Problem solved

Clarification: the custom tokens in curly brackets that may exist in theme.php can't be re-used outside of the function that has the definition of those placeholder tokens.

[Mimer]

Thanks for the clarification. I learn by the hour.

Well, could I somehow define $user_name = USER_NAME; $user_group = USER_GROUP; once, since I use them several time in the script.
Just to clean up code.

if (!defined('IN_COPPERMINE')) die('Not in Coppermine...');

if (!USER_ID) {
        starttable("100%", "<b>Not Logged In</b>");
$user_group = USER_GROUP;
echo<<<EOT

What would be the point of defining a constant? Once the var is populated, it never is being unset. So you either have the var populated (then the constant will be populated as well) or you don't have it pupulated (the the constant will be empty as well). There's no benefit in populating the constant. You can use the $user_data array just about anywhere (after it has been populated in the first place) - just make it global if you call it from within a function.
