I see how to get the information of the user that is logged in. However, if you visit a friend's profile page, how do you get their user id?

I'd like to make a custom mod that will take both the logged in user id and the user of the page you are viewing. Thank you!
Hi Rachel Jollie,

Can you try follow the code below and see how it goes?
$id = JRequest::getInt( 'id' , null );

                $my = ES::user($id);

                echo $my->id;

Thanks! It looks like this works well on the user's profile page. When I tried this when viewing a user's video page, the id was NULL.

Is the video page only assigned to the user that's signed in?
Thanks for the advice
