How to get user object in widget?

getUser() in widget controller doesn’t work. It return false.

Only way is pass userId or user object as parameter to widget?

in this case it actually should work.
try adding [{$oxcmp_user|@var_dump}] into widgets template to see if user object is available there

  1. Yes oxcmp_user works in widget template.

  2. When i try to dump($oUser->isLoaded) after $this->getUser() in widget controller it throws me an error:
