Hey guys,

didn´t find the right Site texts for these

 ![The image shows a welcoming page for a community portal with options to search, explore, customize content, access guides, and learn about hosting. (Captioned by AI)](https://global.discourse-cdn.com/meta/original/4X/8/8/0/880414652226aa2a511054223f64f2a607f000ee.png)

Can you tell me where they are ?

And an additional question. The Site text label

> js.welcome\_banner.header.logged\_in\_members

contains this by default:

> Willkommen %{preferred\_display\_name}!

This variable

`%{preferred_display_name}!`

Can I somehow use something like substitution here to tranform the username for display purposes ?  
I´ve activated SSO, so I have always the same name pattern

> firstname.lastname

In the banner I want to replace the “.” with an “[space]”.  
What´s the best way to do that ?

Many thanks,

WS

The welcome banner available in core doesn’t have a headline by default.

You might want to use [Advanced Search Banner](https://meta.discourse.org/t/advanced-search-banner/122939) theme component instead.  
The texts are located in the theme component settings. Scroll down a bit:

You can achieve a similar result with this component: [Banner Featured Links](https://meta.discourse.org/t/banner-featured-links/327497).

Hey @Arkshine, that was exactly what I wanted, thanks!

Any hints about this variable stuff?

Many thanks!
