a bit confused about ors developers api

[eandrex]

So i was reading (http://doc.otrs.org/developer/3.1/en/ht ... rview.html)

and i saw that by default there a basic frameworks object such as:

ParamObject (to get formular params), DBObject (to use existing databse connects), LayoutObject (to use templates and other html layout functions), ConfigObject (to access config settings), LogObject (to use the framework log system), UserObject (to get the user functions from the current user), GroupObject (to get the group functions).

if know LayoutObject is used for html output(i used it for my hello world module "$Output .= $Self->{LayoutObject}->NavigationBar();"....etc)

but, the thing is, what about others modules?
for example "UserObject"

I guess i can see its subs here (http://dev.otrs.org/) under Kernel::System::User?

and there, there is a method called "GetUserData()"

Code: Select all

        my %User = $UserObject->GetUserData(
            UserID => 123,
        );

        or

        my %User = $UserObject->GetUserData(
            User          => 'franz',
            Valid         => 1,       # not required -> 0|1 (default 0)
                                      # returns only data if user is valid
            NoOutOfOffice => 1,       # not required -> 0|1 (default 0)
                                      # returns data without out of office infos
        );

but what if i want to see the data of current logged agent and i dont know his UserID??

thank you

Agent frontendmodule always know the UserID of the currently logged in agent. It is stored in "$Self->{UserID}"...
