Retrieve $user

Posted by glennnz on October 16, 2009 at 10:27pm

Issue Summary

I need to retrieve the $user object; the current user isn't available from the $data abject.

My need is to create an edit link beside a list of nodes that only appears if the node author is the same as the current user.

Thanks

Glenn

Thank you bfr, this is exactly what I needed to know. Including global $user; makes the $user data available for my custom field.

And since it's almost 8 months later, I'll assume glennnz also found that this worked and take the liberty of changing the status to fixed.
