Placing user info on pages

I found the information on this but have lost it now. How can we display the username "login name" of a customer on a page in our protected folders?

Are you talking about within aMember pages, or other pages on your site?

For aMember pages you use:
First Name:
{$smarty.session._amember_user.name_f}

This would be for another page that isn't a template of amember.

Thanks!

That's the page I was looking for. Thanks Alex!

So I added This

Code:

 <?php session_start(); ?>

to the top of my html page and this

Code:

<?php
print "$_SESSION['_amember_user']['login']"; ?>

in the middle.

It made my page completely blank when loaded...my apache is set up to process php in html files and works great except when I add the second snippet of code.

What gives?

So after I enabled the php errors I saw and fixed the issue. Working on my new site, i get this printed on the web pages instead of the data itself.

Array[name_f] [name_l]

here is what my code looks like...

Top of page:

Code:

 <?php session_start(); ?> 

In the body:

Code:

 <?php print "$_SESSION[_amember_user][name_f] [name_l]"; ?> 

The code is stuck between <div> tags....would this matter? How would I fix the issue?

Thanks...

Next question,

I noticed that [_amember_user] is linked to the mysql table 'amember_members'

If I wanted to pull data from other tables within the amember database, where and how would I link to those tables?

Thanks,

Chris

how can I load additional tables?

$_SESSION['_amember_user.TABLE_NAME']
