Current user keyword

(L5x12w19) #1

is there a keyword that calls the current user's id?


%globals_current_user_id% wont work

(Vsterling) #2

%globals_current_user_attribute_id% or maybe %globals_user_attribute_id%. Just guessing by the Concept Manual.

Did you try something like %globals_user_id%?

I think I got this one Nic... now go answer my post! :ph34r:

Ok guys, the correct keyword is:

    %globals_user_assetid%


Another cool thing I realized is you can access the current users metadata as well. I can see great potential with this, building custom user settings into Simple Edit! Hooray!

    %globals_user_metadata_XXX%

You talking about Simple Edit? Globals keywords were not added to Simple Edit until some 3.18.x version.

Yeah, Globals keyword replacements won't work in Simple Edit then.

%globals_user %globals_site and %globals_asset all take any asset keywords - so you can access site metadata etc too if you want to store some site specific config values for example. As you can apply metadata sections by asset type you can use the same schema and add sections to use via these keywords.

Is %globals_user_X% supposed to work in email bodies sent via triggers?


I want to send the currently logged in user (who caused the trigger)'s asset id and fullname in an email, but can't seem to get the keywords right!

What are your events? If you use something like user login, then the following keywords will work:


    %asset_attribute_username% (%asset_attribute_first_name% %asset_attribute_last_name%)

No, the event is Asset Status Changed (to live)
