How to detect a user outside the forum

[isma]

I am still using VB 3.7 although am preparing my new XF.

When using VB I can detect a user logged in the forum but participating in other sections of my web. For exemple a user can post a comment on an article without logging in again.

I don't know if I am explaining myself clearly.

I can do that with these lines of code:

----------------------
include('./global.php');
include('./includes/functions_user.php');
$_SESSION["forero"] = $vbulletin->userinfo['username'];
----------------------

Is there a way to do the same in XF?

Thank you!

Can probably do the same thing with this

Thank you!

Do you know if it is compatible with XF 1.3?

Should be yes.

I am trying to print my forum nickname using your application but I must be doing something wrong:

<?php
require_once('XenForoSDK.php');
$sdk = new XenForoSDK;
$loggedIn = $sdk->isLoggedIn();
if($loggedIn) {
echo 'Logged In';
} else {
echo 'Guest';
}
// Get current user
$user = $sdk->getUser();
echo $user;
?>

Thank you for your help @Vincent Gabriel
