[SOLVED] Get user ID/object of displayed user in PHP was created by lousyfool
Hi,

Like others before, I'm also tinkering with the PHP restriction of Advanced Module Manager.

No problem getting a field value of the logged-in user's object who's viewing a profile with
Code:
$viewer = CBuser::getMyUserDataInstance(); $fieldValue1 = $viewer->get('CB_FIELD');

And I know that I could get the field value in another user's object (in this case the one whose profile is being displayed) with
Code:
$displayed = CBuser::getUserDataInstance(DISPLAYED_USER_ID); $fieldValue2 = $displayed->get('CB_FIELD');
... if I only knew how to get DISPLAYED_USER_ID ... am obviously a bit thick in the head now.

The briefest hint on this "how to" will be greatly appreciated!

The displayed user id is only set when directly viewing a user profile. It is not set in any other scenario. It can be accessed with the following, but again it may be NULL or 0 so please be careful with where you use it.

Code:
global $_CB_framework; $displayedUser = $_CB_framework->displayedUser();

Yup, that's what it's about.
And, of course, your code snippet works perfectly well. So, thanks for that!
