Hello
We managed to get the Name of the user following instructions found in documentation.

We got it using...
require_once(JPATH_ADMINISTRATOR . '/components/com_easysocial/includes/easysocial.php');
$my = ES::user();
echo $my->getName();

How will we get the user ID to echo it somewhere?

Thank you!
As long as you call this ES::user() user library, it will return you the whole user object which included the user id as well.

So you can use this following code to get user id or name :



echo $my->id;

echo $my->name;

echo $my->username;

echo $my->email;


Hope this will help.
