Nvm got it!

Here is the solution if anyone ever needs it :D

$userId = (int) $paramObject->additionalParamList['entityId'];$userName = BOL_UserService::getInstance()->getDisplayName($userId);

Can you paste that into a Custom HTML widget in the dashboard?

I've tried posting PHP and even OMWL but it doesn't work, I could put an Iframe there but I'm not sure how to link it into the Oxwall user data?

No, this will only work in PHP, you are able to send variables over to HTML but you will probably have to create your own widget for that. 

Hi,

To get the user Id, you can get it by simply;

$id = OW::getUser()->getId();  

and then get the username with;

$userName = BOL_UserService::getInstance()->getDisplayName($id);

And if you create your instance first to the user service your code could be;

$userservice = BOL_UserService::getInstance(); // this need to be done once at the begining of your code

$id = OW::getUser()->getId();                     // Getting the user ID
$name = $userservice->getDisplayName($id);  // Getting the user name

Mario ,

Your code looks perfect. Where I should  put this code if I want to display like Welcome , {$Username} on dashboard?

Please help me.

Hi Rahul,

Sorry about the delay.

To display a welcome message like the one you propose, I would create a small widget. You can find example code for widget in the developer section of oxwall site.

It is not recommended to edit the core files of oxwall to modify it. Plugins or widgets are the way to go.

Start with a small and simple widget and build from that...! :)
