A user name element displays the current user's name in
a presentation template, component design, or element design. You
can only use a user name element by creating a user name component.
You cannot add a user name element to authoring templates, site areas,
or content items.
- Enter identification information for the component.
- Create an anonymous user design. This 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 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" ]
