I have a use case where I would like to add the content from a custom user field next to my username in the post header:
not sure the best way to go about this?
very new to discourse and all its wonders
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:
大家好！我是 Discourse 新手，我找到了这个帖子，它看起来正是我想要做的。我有一个自定义字段，希望它能显示在帖子用户全名之后的紧邻位置。
我并非完全没有为过去使用的其他 Web 应用制作插件的经验，所以我认为只要有足够的耐心和反复试验，我就能弄清楚如何制作一个主题组件或类似的东西。我现在正在学习主题开发教程。
我认为我已经弄清楚了要添加到“公共用户自定义字段”设置中的字段名称（我认为 ID 是 2，所以我将其设置为 user_field_2）。
我登录了我的 Discourse 站点，并创建了一个新的主题组件。我为我安装的所有主题启用了它。我进入了 JS 部分，并将上面的代码复制了进去（将 user_field_4 改为了 user_field_2）。它似乎没有起到任何作用，所以我确定我做错了什么。我是否需要在其他地方粘贴这段代码？或者我完全搞错了方向？
我知道这个帖子有点旧了，所以代码可能已经过时。有没有人能帮帮我？我会尽力回答任何问题或提供任何需要的细节。谢谢！
