Hey Bill, I've not used the simple user auth method, i'm a fan of the othAuth version - thanks Oth!
either way, in the function that checks the login details (U and P), if they validate, Oth stores information about that user in the session as a way of a) checking a user is logged in and b) being able to access, display and query upon information about that user. does this make sense? so, in your auth component login function, upon successful login, store the username, or the id, or an array of information about the user in the session. then you can write a quick helper that accesses this information and displays it to your views. if any of this doesn't make sense let me know and i'll include some code examples.
