Is there a way for users to see their own User ID when someone views their profile? Right now, IDs are only visible to admins through the dashboard, but I’d like users to be able to display their ID publicly. Is this something that can be enabled through admin settings, a component, or a plugin? …

import { apiInitializer } from "discourse/lib/api"; export default apiInitializer((api) => { api.renderInOutlet("user-post-names", <template> {{#if @outletArgs.model}} <div class="uid-label-profile"> UID: <span class="uid-value-profil…

It should be doable in a theme component. The user ID is available without an additional request, so you’d only need some JavaScript to show it in a plugin outlet on the profile page. [image]

@pfaffman Thanks for the reply. Well, because a UID is immutable (never changes) it can act like a permanent fingerprint for someone’s account. Usernames can change so for support tickets it instantly can find their account, transactions, auth sessions etc… UID cannot be faked and are unique forever…

@Moin Thanks for the reply it was helpful. Yesd I can view the response in Network → XHR → Response. Perfect. But I am unaware as to how to show the UID on the users account profile. I want to display it here: https://mydomain.com/u//preferences/account But within the create components there is onl…

Okay so if I want everyone to see it (public) I would place it within: mydomain.com/u/<user>summary So by use of enableDevTools() within the browser console I think user-profile-secondary will be a good place. I will try now. Im stuck. How would I get the id of the user I am viewing? Because api.…

Custom Components -- add button or text at any plugin outlet is an example of how to stick some text anywhere that there’s a plugin outlet. I think you’ll need to create your own theme component to get access to the user_id. I think you’d do something like this when you call your component: …

But how do I get the user.id of someone else using code.

Using @pfaffman 's post above, you can then have a component that uses {{@user.id}}. See Theme Developer Tutorial: 5. Building and using components , but I think you can do it in Edit CSS/HTML > JS in the Discourse TC UI, using api.renderInOutlet().

Yes api.renderInOutlet() came in clutch. However my issue which is now irrelevant since I approached it differently—was that I didn’t know how to retrieve the user.id of the profile being viewed. Got any ideas?

用例是什么？知道一个随机整数有什么重要性？
