How to set up a user greeting in the menu and after login

← Back

The “Greeting” informer: text in the menu using the template “Hello, {Name|E-mail}” and a separate message right after login. Both fields are in the module settings.

  1. Add a menu item with the “Greeting” module (code informer_hello) — via “Select” → “Informers”. Save.
  2. Open the item, click “Module settings”.
  3. “Text in the informer” — what is visible in the menu. By default Hello, {Name|E-mail}.
  4. “Flash greeting template after authorization” — the message that pops up right after login.
  5. Save.

Substitutions. {Name} — the name from the user’s personal settings, {E-mail} — their address. The pipe means “or”: {Name|E-mail} will show the name, and if it is not filled in, the e-mail. If there is nothing to substitute, the substitution is removed along with the comma before it. HTML is allowed: <br>, <b>, links.

A guest does not see the greeting. On a phone, the greeting remains in the header next to the logo; a long one moves entirely to the second line.

If it didn’t work

  • There is no “Welcome” after login. The message after login is output only by the template: fill in “Flash greeting template after authorization”.
  • The greeting disappeared both in the menu and after login. An empty “Text in the informer” disables the label in the menu. An informer hidden from the menu does not greet after login either.
  • Instead of the name, {City} is shown. Only {Name} and {E-mail} work; unknown substitutions remain as they are.
