CMSimple_XH–Forum

Yes, indeed. Use "fullname" instead of "username".

However, I don't think that it is a good idea to store all information regarding the current user in the session, because that easily leads to issues like https://github.com/cmb69/register_xh/issues/9. Instead, it is better to store only the user's ID (can be the username) in the session, and to read further information from the user database (and to bail out if there is no such user). Doing this in a portable way would require a respective API, though.

Thank you for your quick reply and your solution. I just changed from 'username' to 'fullname'. In my case, this solution is perfect and hopefully doesn't lead to issues.

No, I don't expect any issues now. It's just that this solution (directly accessing session variables of another plugins) is not future proof (but it's probably good enough for quite a long time).
