How to Show User Profile Number??

Permalink
I am running a contest which requires users to know their profile number.

Short of going tohttp://www.airsoftmanitoba.com/index.php/profile/... and clicking there own name to seehttp://www.airsoftmanitoba.com/index.php/profile/##/...
and viewing their number in the link?

Is it possible for me to show the person user number within text or in a block?

Any help, greatly appreciated. Would make this much easier for me.

Thank You!!

Hello,

You can get and write user data programmatically. In you template or single page, you'll do something like this:

<?php
$u = new User();
echo $u->getUserID();
?>


You'll find full documentation, showing all available methods, here:

Hope this helps!

Thank you for the reply.
Is there a way for me to display this within the HTML code of a "content" block?
I'm trying to have the number show as many times as possible i.e.
- Simply submit your user ID ## Over facebook to enter the contest

and other places.
I'm still new to coding and outputting attributes within Concrete.

I don't think it would be possible to display the user ID within the HTML block, but I can get you another really easy way to do it:

- Install the "Simple PHP Block" add-on:
http://www.concrete5.org/marketplace/addons/simple-php-block/...
- Add the block to an editable area
- Add the following code to the block:
$u = new User();
$ID = $u->getUserID();
if($ID!=null){
     echo "Your user ID is ".$ID;
}


Will this work for you?
