How is fetchMember working?

[Xarkurai]

Hello,

recently I've been screwing around with some stuff and I've bumped on the  ssi_fetchMember.
I'm not quite sure how this is working.
When you simply call the ssi it displays the name and avatar of that member.

But can you actually call certain things such as the name only, the member link, etc,.. ?

Thanks in advance.

yes. do a var_dump on $context['user']. you will see all the things you can include on a page.

Indeed the info by default for that function is the link, the "blurb"  and the avatar.

however, this function can display all the info from a member:

$user = ssi_fetchMember(1, 'return');

// then do a var_dump();  on $user:

var_dump($user);

and you will see a list of all the data from the user with ID1

That's awesome.
And how exactly do I echo this?
I've been trying things like: echo $user['user']['signature']; 
But that doesn't turn out right .

[Suki]

something like this:

$user = ssi_fetchMember(1, 'return');

echo $user['signature'];


should work, this will show the signature from the user with ID 1

Nope, that ain't working either.
That's why its so weird.

It is different like the other SSI coding.

ahh I just posted that from memory, let me do some test.

Sunday,
$context['signature'];

Maybe?

[Xarkurai]

Also tried that before and no results on it.
I tried quite a lot. It appears to be a tricky one .

Add this on the top of the code :

global $context, $txt, $user_info, $id_member;


Sorry im on my android. Can't test lol

You could have fun with this. Try it out and modify.
