displaying user name when user is connected to the site

Permalink 1 user found helpful
Hello, So I've enable public registration on my site.

I tried to register a test identity and everything seems to work great... However when a user connects to the site, after he or she has been redirected to the main page, there is no more signs of the user being connected.

In most site, when you connect to your account, you'll see a little piece of text somewhere (usually on top) saying something like : "you are logged on as (...)", or : "welcome (...)"

Anything that let the user know he or she is connected...

Is there such a feature in C5? Or an add-on I don't know about.

Thanks your help is appreciated.

I believe this is theme specific. Check the footer.php in your elements folder. I'm pretty sure the default C5 themes have this feature

Hi, Thanks for your answer.

I'm using the "Organica Responsive - 1.1" theme that I bought... I believe this theme was developed by the C5 developement team.

I've downloaded the footer.php file and the header.php file, but to the best of my knowledge in programming (which is limited). I couldn't find if such a function exists on this theme...

I will probably have to contact the support team of this particular add-on...

Thanks. If you have any other ideas, please let me know :)

The theme support would be the best place for advice on this theme. BTW, I believe the C5 Theme team is a private group (not to be confused with the development team).

While waiting for their response, you may find it helpful to view the footer.php from a downloaded C5 installation to compare with the footer.php in your theme.
It would be found in Concrete > Themes > Default > Elements

If this can help you, you can put somewhere in your template this code:

<?php 
         $u = new User();
         if ($u->isRegistered()) { ?>
            <?php  
            if (Config::get("ENABLE_USER_PROFILES")) {
               $userName = '<a href="' . $this->url('/profile') . '">' . $u->getUserName() . '</a>';
            } else {
               $userName = $u->getUserName();
            }
            ?>
            <span class="sign-in"><?php echo t('Logged in as <b>%s</b>.', $userName)?> <a href="<?php echo $this->url('/login', 'logout')?>"><?php echo t('Sign out.')?></a></span>
         <?php  } else { ?>
            <span class="sign-in"><a href="<?php echo $this->url('/login')?>"><?php echo t('Sign in.')?></a></span>
         <?php  } ?>


It will create "Sign in." link when you are not signed in, and when you log in it sais: "Logged in as Awasome_Nickname. Sign out."
