For a customization I am working on (I'm going to post a separate message about it), I would like to determine the username of the person currently logged in within the theme.tpl file. But I can't seem to get that to work. I expected the following piece of code to work, but it didn't:

{php}$USERNAME= GalleryUser::getuserName();
echo $USERNAME;{/php}

(Nothing is printed to the screen, regardless of which user I am logged in as)
Anybody have any ideas?

Nevermind, figured it out - turns out it is as simple as {$user.userName}
