new module to call username when in session - help

Post by epifanio67 » Sat Mar 01, 2008 3:08 am

Hey all,

I am trying to write a module that call/displays the username when in session (after login). The xml file is correct, I am able to install it successfully; but it will not display the username when in session. Please note, I am learning; so my apologies for the question:

mod_yourname.php

defined( '_JEXEC' ) or die( 'Restricted access' );

require_once (dirname(__FILE__).DS.'helper.php');

$yourname = hola::nombre();

require( JModuleHelper::getLayoutPath( 'mod_yourname' ) );


helper.php

class hola {
function nombre() {
$clientInfo =& JApplicationHelper::getClientInfo();
}
}

tmpl/default.php

echo $yourname


Also, both index.html have the basic HTML suggested in the tutorials.


In advanced, thank you for all your help


Regards,
