Dear Dang,

Hope you are doing good. I understand you are a beginner, and there is no end to the number of problems you may have to face in the initial stages of getting acquainted with Moodle. Don’t worry you will get a hang of it in sometime.

Dang, may I know what exactly you mean by "mobile app"?

To get the details of a logged in user, use the global variable $USER. Define global $USER; in the page where you want to get the user details and then view the full user details by print_r($USER);

To get the user id, you may do this,

$userId = $USER->id;

Do let me know if this helps.

All the best!  Would love to hear from you again.

Hi i!

- Add the "core_webservice_get_site_info" function call to your "External Service"-Configuration
- Ask the "core_webservice_get_site_info" with a wstoken and the response will get you the 'userid' (among other infos) related to this wstoken.

And depending on the function and your "webservice authenticaton method" configuration:
- Double check if the "User" (related to the "wstoken" you're talking to the moodle-webservice with) has the necessary "Capability" or "Role" active (set to 'true') to actually call the function.

Cheers & Have Fun!

Hi, no problem, yesterday I just had some spare minutes to spent on this. 


But sorry, sure I don't know the reasons why you can not "Manage Services" as an "admin", have you checked if the webservice plugin is active?

- Any webservice should have a defined number of webservice functions and this should be created as an external service configuration ("custom service" you say) as far as i know

- Try to be explicit when asking for help (add the urls to the docs you and webpages you were looking at while trying to solve your issue, this may help other potential supporters here in this forum)

- I dont have access to any moodle with administratior-priviliges right now, so I cannot investigate your issue.


Let me ask, what is it for an app you want to build and why?

All the best & Cheers!

Hi Malte,

I am new to moodle please suggest me something about core_webservice_get_site_info.

I need to get the logged in user by using this function. when i am using it with admin token it is giving the details of admin but i want to get the logged in user info by using this function how can i do this pls help.

If i create a token for each user and call it by using there token than it will be very time consuming and not right pls suggest asap
