Sven Ryen	Thursday 12 June 2003 10:43:34 am don't know if this is to any help, but the user datatype is found here: /kernel/classes/datatypes/ezuser/ezuser.php Seems to me like you might want to extend the eZUser class.. Somebody please correct me if there's an easier way to accomplish this.
Bård Farstad	Thursday 12 June 2003 10:45:32 am This is done with eZUser::currentUser(); that will return an eZUser object with the current logged in user. Note that the user is a datatype, which is a part of a content object. To get access to the attributes you need to fetch the contentobject from the user object. --bård Documentation: http://ez.no/doc
Douglas Hammond	Friday 13 June 2003 7:03:11 am Thanks that's exactly what I was wondering. So I must get the content object that corresponds to the user. What datameber of ezUser corresponds to the contentId is this right? $user = &eZUser::currentUser(); $userObject = &$user->attribute( "contentobject" );
