Display User Name in Header Template

[bigrob]

Hi guys, i've been customising my templates and i've hit a bit of a wall. I want to display the current users username in header.get.html.ftl to the right of the logo. I'm a web developer so i've got the layout covered it's just the javascript to product the variable that's failing me.

from what i've been reading I thought that ${person.properties.firstName} would print the user's name but all I get is an error, i'm assuming I have to somehow call the function first?

Any pointers would be much appreciated,
Rob

Hi,

You should be able to get the current user's username with:

${user.name}‍
