Login: Display user and information

Hello all,

My issue is that I’ve got the login stuff set up as best as I can using the documentation, so now I need a little help. I created the following user:

Login: Fred
Password: workme

When you log in you get just the Logout link. I’d like to display the user name, like Logged in as or something to that effect.

Also along with that logout link, I need to add a change password link with that so users can change their password when they want to.

Maybe in the future or soon a way to get more info to display in there. (IE: total posts on the forums, comments, etc.) Is that possible now or not or anything?

Thanks to all who read this and to those that reply.

Use the personalize snippet: [[Personalize? &message=`Welcome back, ` &wrapper=`h3` &class=`welcome`]]

Thanks doze,

I added that but it doesn’t really give me the desired effect I’m looking for. Well somewhat it does, it only shows the Welcome back Fred after you click on another page and still says welcome back after you log out until you refresh the page or go to another link on the page.

So that is closem needs to work a little cleaner, as in when they log in it displays Logged in as (I know you canged the welcome back to say that) and how can I add the change password when login in section after they log in?

Also to all, is there a code for like a my personal page section where someone can check in cms msges, change their pssword, email, etc? That would be my overall goal, any thoughts?

Thanks all

Have you tried fiddling around with different cache settings? try running the snippet uncached using [!...!]

With MemberCheck snippet you can show various chunks depending on the usergroups. The chunck then could have link to a page that has WebChangePwd snippet running.
