Hi,

From within a module I would like to print out the username and the full name of the user currently logged into Gallery3. Is there a method to an active class or a php variable that is filled with this information to accomplish this?

Thanks

  Hello <b><?= identity::active_user()->name ?></b>!
</p>
<p>
  You’re looking at <?= $item->title ?> which was
  uploaded by <?= $item->owner->name ?>
</p>

Great - that gives me the login name. How would I get the full / real Name?

Where is this defined?
Thanks
Lutz

identity::active_user()->full_name should work.
I'm sure you will find:

Thanks - your suggestion solved it.
Find the developer's guide very helpful - looking forward to seeing it grow.

Intent was not to build a new module - It just helped me to modify the existing Piwik module to track the username of who is using my (family) album.
