How can I get an username in user view

[adrian24]

Hi,

Sorry for my English,

I have to get an user name from field "User" in User view. I need to create directories for each user in joomla folders on ftp and I need for this an username of the user.

Hi,

It depends on the context. In general to get the current user you can use the following code:

Code: Select all

$user = JFactory::getUser();

Or if you want to get a specific user by ID you can use:

Code: Select all

$user = JUser::getInstance($id);

Finally, after you get the user, you can use the following code to access the username:

Code: Select all

$username = $user->username;
