    Is there any way I could call a user's nickname through a custom PageManager page? I feel like there is a simple PHP echo I could do but I'm missing it.

    The user's name is User->Name. You should be able to reference it when the user is logged in. I've used the following to get user information:

    if ($Context->Session->UserID > 0)
    {
    if (!@$UserManager) $UserManager = $Context->ObjectFactory->NewContextObject($Context, "UserManager");
    $AccountUserID = ForceIncomingInt("u", $Context->Session->UserID);
    if (!@$AccountUser)
    {
    $AccountUser = $UserManager->GetUserById($AccountUserID);
    $DispFName = $AccountUser->FirstName;
    $DispLName = $AccountUser->LastName;
    $DispName = $AccountUser->Name." ".$DispFName . " " . $DispLName;
    }
    } else {
    $DispName = " ";
    }

    Thanks jimw, I think I'm missing something though, shouldn't:

    Hi, <?php echo $DispName ?>


    Render: Hi, User

    Because I am not seeing such. Is there any includes that need to occur before your body of code?

    I have that code in an extension I made for me. It adds a Hi in the sidepanel. Where are you trying to put the code?
