TOPIC: Getuser (from joomla) for query

Getuser (from joomla) for query 12 Years, 5 Months ago Karma: 0
Is it possible to get the current (signed in) joomla user, to be used in my data tables query? The query will be accessing an external SQL database. But I need to show information that is specific to the current user only. Is this possible?

Hello,

It is possible to use {$UserId} predefined variable in WHERE clause of an SQL query. A sample query:

Code:

SELECT
 id,
 title
FROM
 #__content
WHERE
 created_by = {$UserId}

If my SQL database is external, does the {$UserId} automatically know to use the Joomla user id? Also, we'd really need to use user name, not user id. Is that possible?

You can use it for an external database as well for Joomla! database. You can also use {$UserName} and {$UserLogin} variables.

Re:Getuser (from joomla) for query 12 Years, 5 Months ago Karma: 0
Here is my query, which returns no data:
SELECT UserID, OrderDate, PONum
FROM `openorders`
WHERE
UserID = {$UserName}


However, when I actually type the value for user id it works...so this works:

SELECT UserID, OrderDate, PONum
FROM `openorders`
WHERE
UserID = 'ds124'


What do I need to do in order for the top query to work with the dynamic userName?

We suppose you need {$UserLogin} variable instead of {$UserName} variable.
