You can do a lot with the methods found in plugin-api.js.es6. To add content before or after the poster name widget, use the decorateWidget method. Use 'poster-name:after' as the name/type parameter.
Checking the result of the console.log statement from the following code will tell you what attributes are available:
<script type="text/discourse-plugin" version="0.8.27">
api.decorateWidget('poster-name:after', helper => {
console.log('attrs', helper.attrs);
});
</script>
What you’ll see is that custom user fields are not available. To get access to them, you need to add the name of the user custom field to the public user custom fields Site Setting. Finding the name of the field can be tricky. One way to find the name is to go to /admin/customize/user_fields.json and look at the JSON for the page. You’ll see something like this:
{
"user_fields": [
{
"id": 1,
"name": "Terms of Service",
"description": "<a href=\"http://localhost:3000/tos\">I have read the tos</a>",
"field_type": "confirm",
"editable": true,
"required": false,
"show_on_profile": false,
"show_on_user_card": false,
"position": 1
},
{
"id": 4,
"name": "city",
"description": "your city",
"field_type": "text",
"editable": true,
"required": true,
"show_on_profile": false,
"show_on_user_card": false,
"position": 3
}
]
}
You can get the name of the field by appending “user_field_” to the field’s ID. So the “city” field on my site has the name “user_field_4”. Add the name to the public user custom fields Site Setting so that it is available in helper.attrs.
The following code will add the city field after the poster-name widget for users who have set that custom field. The field is wrapped in <span class="poster-user-field"></span> tags, so it can be styled with CSS.
<script type="text/discourse-plugin" version="0.8.27">
api.decorateWidget('poster-name:after', helper => {
const attrs = helper.attrs;
if (attrs.userCustomFields && attrs.userCustomFields.user_field_4) {
return helper.h('span.poster-user-field', helper.attrs.userCustomFields.user_field_4);
}
});
</script>
Thank you for this explanation, it’s something that I was also looking for. I’d say what’s missing in this explanation is how you insert the javascript snippet and where you do it. Do you need to create a separate plugin for it?
The code I posted above with the console.log statement that returns the post attributes, is meant to go in a theme or a theme component. For a general overview of developing Discourse themes, see Developer’s guide to Discourse Themes. For details about using the Plugin API methods in a theme, instead of a plugin, see https://meta.discourse.org/t/using-the-pluginapi-in-site-customizations/41281.
Does anybody knows how to do it via themes?
This is exaclty what i look for.
I want to be able to see it just like LinkedIn does (shows Job title):

Just like in this conversation here:
皆さん、こんにちは!Discourseは初めてで、まさに私がやろうとしていることと全く同じスレッドを見つけました。ユーザーのフルネームの直後に表示させたいカスタムフィールドがあります。
過去に使用した他のWebアプリケーションのプラグイン作成には全くの未経験者ではありませんので、十分な忍耐と試行錯誤があれば、テーマコンポーネントかそれに類するものを作成して機能させることができると思います。現在、テーマ開発チュートリアルを進めているところです。
「公開ユーザーカスタムフィールド」設定に追加するフィールドの名前を特定できたと思います(IDは2だと思うので、user_field_2に設定しました)。
Discourseサイトにログインし、新しいテーマコンポーネントを作成しました。インストールされているすべてのテーマで有効にしました。JSに移動し、上記のコードをコピーしました(user_field_4をuser_field_2に変更しました)。何も起こらなかったので、何か間違ったことをしたに違いありません。他に貼り付ける必要があった場所はありますか?それとも、全く見当違いでしょうか?
この投稿はやや古いことは承知していますが、コードが古くなっている可能性があります。誰か手伝ってくれる可能性はありますか?質問に答えたり、必要な詳細を提供したりするために最善を尽くします。ありがとうございます!
