Displaying user's name in the admin user edit pages

High level, when editing a user, I don't know who the user is when on the User Payments tab.

Programatically, I see I have available in the code the user's first/last name on the User Info tab, but that info isn't then available on other tabs.

How can I persist the user's name across all the user edit tabs?

Display User Info in Admin

I had the same request and Alex, gave me the following, which work well. Thanks Alex.

So, here is the code for you.

edit /amember/admin/users.php file.
Add these rows:
$u = $db->get_user($member_id);
$t->assign('u', $u);
before:
$t->display('admin/user_payments.html');

Then add these rows to /amember/templates/admin/user_payments.html file:
{u.name_f} {u.name_l}, {u.email}

In the user_payments.html file, the above code jsut gives you all black text, which is fine, but I wanted it easier to see who and what. So, I modified the code a bit. The Login name and First and Last, are in Red, to show up better and easier.

My code:
<h3>{$title}</h3>
<h4>Email/Login: <span class="style1">{$u.login}</span> Names:<span class="style1"> {$u.name_f} </span>&<span class="style1"> {$u.name_l}</span></h4>

I am using Vers. 3.08 btw.

Hi!

I am also using 3.0.8 PRO.

This little mod was something I was looking for and wonder why this is not in the script itself. I do consider it necessary to be included in the basic pakage which may help everyone.

What I also find it interesting is to offer some more globle variables from aMember table fields - AND - other tables outside from aMemeber, like Joomla, etc. Hence the config could be:

1.
Field config, Name, ID, etc in ext_1.config.inc.php.

2.
Connection details to a different database and tables as

$pc_ext_1 = array();
$pc_ext_1['db'] =
...
3.
User of tags in the templates.

Hallo!

May be the best is to add my suggestion in the default distribution of the aMember Pro.

Well, I did insert the above solution and found out that it did not appear in all the modes, although the suggested solution is correct. I find the following to be a much better solution, which infact achieves much more:

Add in the user_nb_inc.html the following:

<table width=100% cellspacing=1 cellpadding=0 class=notebook><tr>
<td width={$pc} class=notsel>
First name: {$u.name_f}
</td>
<td width={$pc} class=notsel>
Last name: {$u.name_l}
</td>
<td width={$pc} class=notsel>
Username: {$u.login}
</td>
</tr>
</table>

before the following line:
<table width=100% cellspacing=1 cellpadding=0 class=notebook><tr>

And this will show details in each page of the user. Mind you that if a user has never logged in, the Access.log page will not show for some funny reasons any details!

Thanks, that works well.

I took your suggestion and used the following code in user_nb_inc.html.

<table width=100% cellspacing=1 cellpadding=0 class=notebook><tr>
<td width={$pc} class=notsel>
First name: {$u.name_f}
</td>
<td width={$pc} class=notsel>
Last name: {$u.name_l}
</td>
<td width={$pc} class=notsel>
Username: {$u.login}
</td>
</tr>
</table>

I added it before the following line:
<table width=100% cellspacing=1 cellpadding=0 class=notebook><tr>

However, the fields are blank on the User Payments/Subscription page. They show on the Actions page and on User Info page.

Do you know why?
