Hello, I have added a cgi irc client to my nuke site. I want to make it very simple so i have a login forum which fills the Nickname field with Anonymous, now would it be possible for me to retrive the name that person is under and fill the forum wtih it? Lets say i have this module only for regged people.

edit:
If the php file which contains this form has nothing really to do with nuke. It is just a index.php file I put in /modules/Chat

This code will retrieve the username when called within a module (index.php) file, for instance. Make sure your index.php file has included mainfile.php.

Code:

global $user, $cookie;
if (is_user($user)) {
cookiedecode($user);
$username = $cookie[1];
}
else $username = "Anonymous";

Now, you can just pass the username via the url to your irc client. The client will have to extract the username.
