Looking for a simple way to display the Logged In User's name

I am newbie to Drupal and I am looking for a way to add the User Name to my website similar to how it appears here on Drupal.org. I have searched though the Drupal.org site and found a lot of custom code but nothing that seems to do what I am looking for.

Can someone direct me to an article that describes how this would be done?

Thank you

Video Field & Video Player

Hi to all,
I probably missed somthing, please help me.
I created a "content type" that includes a "video field" (media module).
When I add a new "content type" I need to add "video file".
But I can't see the "video file" that I added when creating this "content type". ( On the NID that created)
I need that the "video file" will be played on a "video player" ( flash or wmp for example ).
Also, does anyone know if it is possible to embed a "youtube movie" to a "video player"?

Thanks in advance.

Error after installing Datatables

Right after i installed the Module DataTables 7x-1.0 the whole site went down with errors and this table showed up:

( ! ) Parse error: syntax error, unexpected $end in C:\wamp\www\Drupal 74\themes\tma\template.php on line 110

7 0.3150 22393840 phptemplate_init( ) ..\theme.inc:0

now i tried to modify the code there, but it just keeps giving more and more errors that i dont understand and that almost lead me to erase the code from the bottom up.

I also tried to just go forward with the URL´s of the already constructed website and this other table shows up:

( ! ) Fatal error: require_once() [function.require]: Failed opening required 'C:\wamp\www\Drupal 74/sites/all/modules/ctools/includes/plugins.inc' (include_path='.;C:\php\pear') in C:\wamp\www\Drupal 74\sites\all\modules\ctools\ctools.module on line 113

form_set_value and array, setting the variable not correctly

Hello

with the following code

function book_enhance_admin_settings_validate($form, &$form_state) {
  $new_values = array(
    'article' => 'article',
    'book' => 'book',
    'page' => 'page'
  );
  form_set_value($form['book_child_type2'], $new_values, $form_state);
}

I was expecting to find a variable named 'book_child_type2' in the database just like the array $new_values.
Instead of that I get an array without the key values

what I'm doing wrong?

phpbbforum Integration Module installation

Hi. I am installing and setting up phpBBforum Integration Module. I have an established phpbb forum, and have recently set up and activated Drupal on my site (with no users, etc).

I have followed the guide. I have 'completed' setting up the phpbb bridge MOD from phpbb. This appeared to work.

When it came to installing and setting up the phpBBforum module, things got tricky. Initially, I am unable to locate the phpbb_api.php module, which does not appear to have been set up on my server as part of the bridge module.
