Hello!  I’m having no end of trouble trying to get the following to work:

On my page, the following:

{embed="_templates/editprofile-varpass" authorloggedin="{logged_in_member_id}" parse="inward"}

Calling the template at _templates/editprofile-varpass

{exp:channel:entries channel="memberorganisations" dynamic="off" orderby="date" status="Associate|Non-Associate" author_id="{embed:authorloggedin}"}

{exp:safecracker channel="memberorganisations" entry_id="{entry_id}"}
<label for="title"><strong>Title</strong></label>

    <input type="text" name="title" id="title" value="{title}" size="50" maxlength="100">
  


    <label for="url_title"><strong>URL Title</strong></label>

    <input type="text" name="url_title" id="url_title" value="{url_title}" maxlength="75" size="50" />
  


 <hr >

<div><input type="submit" name="submit" value="Submit" /></div>
{/exp:safecracker}

{/exp:channel:entries}

But this bit simply doesn’t work:

author_id="{embed:authorloggedin}"

Neither does this, hence why I’m trying to use embed variables to get it done.:

author_id="{logged_in_member_id}"

However, simply switching out

author_id="{embed:authorloggedin}"

author_id="1"

works perfectly - the issue is that I obviously need to alter the page depending on who is actually logged in!  I’ve tried all manner of parse=“inward"s too, so that doesn’t seem to be the issue, and {embed:authorloggedin} does output the right value when I test it elsewhere in the embedded template.

Any ideas?!

Have you tried turning on template debugging to see what is being output in author_id=”” ?

Have you considered simply using CURRENT_USER?

author_id="CURRENT_USER"

and let EE do the rest of the heavy lifting?

Lisa - that’s fantastic.  Not quite sure why EE had such an objection to my passing it {logged_in_member_id}, but CURRENT_USER works perfectly.

Thanks!

It’s a parse order issue, Jon, which is part of why that parameter is there. =)

I’m glad you got it working, and if anything else comes up, please do let us know.  Thank you!
