print user from function

[Manaus]

Hello,

I have a function trying to print the current user name, but I can't manage to get something.

This is my code:

function dothing($thepage) {
  echo $thepage->title;
  if ($user->isSuperuser()) {
    // do different
  }
}

Tried also

function dothing($thepage) {
  if ($wire->user->isSuperuser()) {
    // dodo
  }
}

But no avail

Thanks for any suggestion

hi Manaus 

try this 

function dothing($thepage) {
  if (wire('user')->isSuperuser()) {
 	echo wire('user')->name;
  }
}

 dothing();

You could pass in the data as parameter.

function dothing($thepage, $user) {
  echo $thepage->title;
  if ($user->isSuperuser()) {
    // do different
  }
}

dothing($page, $user);

hi Manaus 

try this 

function dothing($thepage) {
  if (wire('user')->isSuperuser()) {
 	echo wire('user')->name;
  }
}

 dothing();

I thought so, too, but "wire('user')->title" returned me NULL in my test.

i don't think that by default field title exist in user template

but maybe i'm wrong. 

you can call id name etc

Yeah, I already found that error. I had mistaken your "$thepage->title" and not thought about it more clearly.
