Current user value? Thread last updated on 2006-06-10 05:43:33

Hey all, is there a way to get the value of the current username in litestep?
For example, something like $currentuser$ (which incidently doesnt work)
Thanks!

thanks dev, thats the only one i didnt think of... o.O
As for another problem im having.
I have 4 xlabels as shortcuts. They are all setup nicely.
However, i decided to put rightclick -> popup functionality into them, so they list the shortcuts location in a popup. For example desktop shortcut, right click to to get a desktop popup.
Now, here is the weird thing.
I can have the popups working fine on any of the xlabels, but when you click a popup entry, only the first 2 label's popup menus will actually do what you click. I can swap the popups around between them, but only the first 2 will actually run something when you click it in the popup.
Anybody have any idea why?

Sounds like a config error. Lets see it.

i have rechecked the code over and over, and even deleted the last two labels, copied the first label, and renamed its values. They are ALL the same... i just dont get it!
