Dazz Posted March 6, 2022 Posted March 6, 2022 I want to creat a custom welcome block or be able for the site to use a persons user name in various places around the site. Is there a way to pull the username into custom block? Something like %username% that would enter the usersname. I've tried various combinations of %user%, %user_name%, %member%, etc. Are there commads like this available to use?
Goza Posted March 6, 2022 Posted March 6, 2022 (edited) {{if \IPS\Member::loggedIn()->member_id}} {expression="\IPS\Member::loggedIn()->name"} {{else}} Guest {{endif}} So, this bit of code is basically saying. If a user is currently logged in, it will show their username but if they aren't logged in. It will get replaced with the word guest.

They also had a list of special commands that could be used in posts that would pull different info. Seems like it should be something simple/standard by now. 19 hours ago, Goza said: {{if \IPS\Member::loggedIn()->member_id}} {expression="\IPS\Member::loggedIn()->name"} {{else}} Guest {{endif}} So, this bit of code is basically saying.
