Hi, You can get user name with $context.getLocalUser() or users full name with $context.getUser(). Full name means generally containing "XWiki." be fore user name, it's the full name of the document containing the user. 2007/11/7, V.

:) Thomas had mailed me this (after I had personally mailed him) in reply to my question about removing the hyperlink with the pretty-name of the current user. ---------- In $xwiki you have all theses methods : getUserName(user) getUserName(user, link) getUserName(user, format) getUserName(user, format, link) it seam that in getUserName(user) "link" is true by default so it return you the name with a correct link to access it, if you don't want the link I suppose $xwiki.getUserName($context.getUser(), false) is correct. When you search for api methods the better way is to print the class and then go to javadoc to see the methods in the class. For example for $context you can do $context.class that print you the exact JAVA class and then you go to http://www.xwiki.org/xwiki/bin/download/DevGuide/API/xwiki%2Dcore%2D1.1.1%2… and click on Context class link to see all methods $context contains. ----------- Thomas Mortagne wrote: -- View this message in context: http://www.nabble.com/using-getLocalUser%28%29-tf4763863.html#a13641641 Sent from the XWiki- Users mailing list archive at Nabble.com.
