Forum Specific {{ Hello User }} message

March 04, 2016, 09:57:51 am

Just wondering if it is possible in Elk. I went to a tech forum recently and the particular section had an {{ hello user }} and a message on top ( dismissable ).

Shouldn't be hard either, it's a template+language file edit.
derived what you posted is entirely different...

Or you can do it with a portal block

@radu81 , does that give {{hello user }} style salutation ?

Depends what you put in your portal block.

Either way you'd have to write some custom code. If you are running a portal anyway, you could use a block. If you're not running a portal anyway, no point having one just for this.

What Ant said, and yes meetdilip, it will. If you check how SP is coded for the userinfo block you will already see something very very similar (where it says "Hey {user}").
