Hello all!

Ok I want to do one more thing now...

Is there any way to display the name of the logged in user in a block or page/story title? Like the main menu's title is the username of the logged in user. But I want to be able to display the username in any block or page.

I have tokens installed.. if that helps.. or do i need some next module?

Thank you thank you thank you

:)

EDIT: clicked on the wrong post, sorry.

The answer to YOUR question is:

<?php
global $user;
print $user->name;
?>

thank you.. but two questions still remain

how do i get this to display for a specific block or page/story title?

and is this the easiest way to do it? or can it be done with modules?

Thanks again for your help :)

You can simply place the code above in a custom bock (use the php code input format).

I'm not sure how to do that with a node title-- maybe the http://drupal.org/project/auto_nodetitle module?

ok im still a bit confused.. i went back on my site to test it.. and it works like a charm.. but what if i wanna make a link with it.. like this:

i want to a link to appear for every user to go to their audio list, i have to have the link like this: http://example.com/audio/user/#(where # is their user id)

so how can i have a link so that for every visitor it goes to their audio page??

help is greatly appreciated...

For a link you would do print l($user->name, 'audio/user/' . $user->uid);.

That's a fantastic module that saves a TONNE of trouble.
Check it out, search in modules for token insertion.
