Ill answer that question the best way I understand it....
I just want to confirm that you are that person in Scratch, not an impersonificator, when the script confirms you are actually that person, you are available to sign up as HIM in an EXTERNAL server.

I don't get it...

The fastest way to do this would be to use jQuery (you should really try it if you haven't). Load scratch.mit.edu into an invisible iframe and when it's loaded tell jQuery to dig up the 'userbar' div, and within it there's a <strong> then a <a> tag (which contains your username), so:

<iframe src="http://scratch.mit.edu" id="scrFrame" style="display:none" onload="frameLoaded()"></iframe>
<script type="text/javascript">
function frameLoaded()
{
  var username = $("#scrFrame").contents().find("#userbar strong a").html()
  if(username === null)
  {
    //You're not logged in
  }
}
</script>

But then you'd be loading two webpages every time you visited a page on the site.

It's unfortunate that you have to load the page at all, but since it's a Chrome extension, it won't have to happen every time you navigate!

Wow... I hadn't thought of that! I'll test it when I get to my computer!

It always appears as "null"... how strange. I think there is a syntax error in the next part of a code: 

var username = $("#scrFrame").contents().find("#userbar strong a").html()

Any advice?

Another thing might be SQL to save. That's what wordpress and phpBB do.

I dont think that has anything to do with my issue... or am I getting you wrong?
What I want is to get the username from the person logged in to Scratch so people can't create fake accounts in my server!

SQL saves your data. I dont know how it does.

Well yeah, Im using SQL, but that is not what my issue is about, I already know how to use SQL. The only thing I want is to get the username from the Scratch website! I can do the rest.

If you're interested, here is the source/docs for the Scratch API. You can authenticate a user this way:

http://scratch.mit.edu/api/authenticateuser?username=demo&password=demo123

Bump.
Did you ever get it working?

I was trying this too. When logged in it can't scan, there is a way, but deep down in a technical code. I'm trying with pa..


I know!

When you post Panther picks up the user that posted! I'll just go off that!
