A user name element displays the current user's name in
a presentation template, component design, or element design. You
can use a user name element only by creating a user name component.
You cannot add a user name element to authoring templates, site areas,
or content items.
Procedure
- Enter identification information for the component.
- Create an anonymous user design. This design is used when
an anonymous user accesses a website. You must select "Display Anonymous"
to enable the Anonymous user design. If "Display Anonymous" is not
selected, the user name element is not rendered when an anonymous
user accesses a website.
- Create a user name design. This design is displayed when
an authenticated user accesses a website. You can use a placeholder
tag with a value of "name" in the user name design to display the
name of the current user. For example:
[placeholder tag="name" start="Welcome " end=" to this Site" ]
To
display the distinguished name of a user, use tag="dn".
[placeholder tag="dn" start="Welcome " end=" to this Site" ]
