We have a custom user field for member ID that we would like to have show next to the member’s username on a post on our Discourse-hosted site. There isn’t a setting for this, is there an existing theme component to do this?

I haven’t figured out exactly what user cards are yet. 🙂 How are they different from the user’s public profile?

I figured out the custom user fields, populating them from our member database is a separate matter, the Discourse transition team was asked to include this in our data migration.
Eventually we hope to use a single-sign-on from our Drupal-based website to get to Discourse, but the module to do that doesn’t appear to have anyone actively supporting it and I don’t know if it even works.

Thanks, this should give me a good starting point.
Will this being a Discourse-hosted site impact our ability to write a custom theme component, since that seems to be the missing link? (Having the ability to display a custom data field on a post seems like something that should be a setting.)
