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 tab: api.onPageChange(() => { if(api.getCurrentUser() != null) { $("#logged-in-user").text(" " + api.getCurrentUser().name.split(' ')[0]); } }); And place this in the After Header tab where appropriate: Hey ! Bienvenue dans ta nouvelle communauté

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 tab of the theme: if(api.getCurrentUser() != null) { $("#logged-in-user").text(" " + api.getCurrentUser().username); } And then adding a to the tab where *USERNAME* is: Hey ! Bienvenue dans ta nouvelle communauté

Thanks for sharing. Now you’ve got me interested in checking out what other API calls are available! If anyone else is interested: - [image] Discourse REST API Documentation Integrations Discourse API Please view the Discourse API Documentation site for detailed info: https://docs.discourse.org information_source Authentication API requests must use HTTP header based authentication. Pass your Api-Key and Api-Username as HTTP headers. Authentication via query parameters or request body is not supported (this was removed in April 2020). Please see the example cURL request below. The only API endpoints that continue to support credentials in query parameters are requests to…

Is this where you are putting the code (see highlighted lines)? [banner] Also did you make sure you saved the changes? Refreshed your browser after you saved?

When I put the html in the header like you do, I see my name. But I don’t want the banner above the header. 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 is it possible to see only the first name? Thanks

Sure, no problem. You can put the HTML code with the in the After Header now, and the code below in the . It displays the first name only. To show their full name, you would get rid of the .split(' ')[0]. api.onPageChange(() => { if(api.getCurrentUser() != null) { $("#logged-in-user").text(" " + api.getCurrentUser().name.split(' ')[0]); } });

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 : if(api.getCurrentUser() != null) { $("#logged-in-user").text(" " + api.getCurrentUser().username); }

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: api.onPageChange(() => { if(api.getCurrentUser() != null) { if(api.getCurrentUser().name.split(' ')[0] != "") { $("#logged-in-user").text("Hey " + api.getCurrentUser().name.split(' ')[0]+"!"); } } }); I’ve used this shorter greeting in a more discrete spot at the side of my site banners, just above the avatar.

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