ATK Howto: Use atkGetUser() outside nodes/modules
|
This Howto describes how you can use atkGetUser() outside a node or a module. I used this, for example, to display some information about the user on the welcome.php page.
The call to atksecure() also makes sure that nobody can access the file without logging in first.
$config_atkroot = "./";
include_once("atk.inc");
atksession();
atksecure();
// Now you can use atkGetUser()
$user = atkGetUser();
// If you want to do the same thing as me you will need an instance of the atkDb
$db = &atkGetDb();
Very short Howto but very handy if you needed this. Took me some time to figure it out. I hope it helps.
