I would like to say “hey Username” in my banner, how can I do this? And not display a name when logout… Thanks! [username]

It looks like you copied the wrong code. This is what you want to add to </head> tab: <script type="text/discourse-plugin" version="0.8.18"> api.onPageChange(() => { if(api.getCurrentUser() != null) { $("#logged-in-user").text(" " + api.getCurrentUser().name.split(' ')[0]); …

I think this would have to be done in client JavaScript, any ideas @dax ?

I think it’s as simple as adding this to the </ head> tab of the theme: <script type="text/discourse-plugin" version="0.8.18"> if(api.getCurrentUser() != null) { $("#logged-in-user").text(" " + api.getCurrentUser().username); } </script> And then adding a <span> to the < header> ta…

Thanks! But, I tried it and my name doesn’t display. I copied exactly what you wrote.

I want it after like this tutorial https://meta.discourse.org/t/banner-themes-and-instructions-for-customizing-them/82368 . When I put the code in the “Afther header” I don’t see my name. And…

Sure, no problem. You can put the HTML code with the <span> in the After Header now, and the code below in the </head>. It displays the first name only. To show their full name, you would get rid of the .split(' ')[0]. <script type="text/discourse-plugin" version="0.8.18"> api.onPageChange(() =>…

This is what I got with After header. I don’t see my name. [after%20header] This is what I got with header . I see my full name but it is not where I want to place this section. [header] I put this code : <script type="text/discourse-plugin" version="0.8.18"> if(api.getCurrentUser() != null) …

Thanks so much! I didn’t see you modify the code!

Thanks for this, love it! Have slightly modified the script to include the ‘Hey!’ in the script, thereby getting around the issue of showing the ‘Hey!’ if name is blank: <script type="text/discourse-plugin" version="0.8.18"> api.onPageChange(() => { if(api.getCurrentUser() != null) { …

Just a quick heads up: did you verify that this piece of code doesn’t raise any errors for non-logged in users? A JS error in a theme could make your site completely unusable.
