    Basically I’d like to duplicate the Admin panel functionality. If someone is logged, I’d like them to see a “Hello, $user_id” where $user_id is their nickname.

    I looked through the Template Tags but don’t see anything that will do it — anyone point me the right way? ??

  • Hi,

    I think this should work:

    <?php printf(__('Hello, <strong>%s</strong>.'), $user_identity) ?>

    (piked it straight off the wp-admin/admin-header.php)

    Unfortunately $user_identity isn’t defined outside of wp-admin :-/

    global $user_identity;
    get_currentuserdata();
    if ($user_identity) { echo "Hi $user_identity!"; }

    Oh good, with this info I should be able to stop my own blog admin pages from saying “howdy” to me….. WHAT a silly thing to have implemented…. nice for the OP, the global one though!

    Hey, I like WordPress’ folksy welcome. Don’t see what’s wrong here…

    Each to her own…. I know who I am, I don’t need some program saying hello to me to remind me….

    “I don’t need some program saying hello to me to remind me….“

    Considering I have 6 different logins on a couple setups, yeah it helps to be reminded.

    Her? ;)

    I’m a her. She. Whatever…. each to “hisser” own (to rob a word from Jo Clayton….)

    danke mucho for the help ??

    Geez, V, can’t ya go anywhere without starting an argument? And all because your user admin is trying to be FRIENDLY! sheesh!

    Hmph. There are better ways of being friendly…. besides, I was just happy to have someone point out where to find the silly thing.

    There was an argument? And I missed it? While being in the middle of it?

    Man, I’m good.

    I TOLD you you were good the other day…. you missed that too huh?

    *snicker*

    No, I just didn’t believe it. After all, the word is you’re always starting arguments, so…

    *rolls eyes* Well, you just can’t believe everything you hear (*whispers* especially if it’s kickass saying it….)

    *virtuously wearing halo* I only start arguments when there’s a 100% chance of either: A. winning; or B. annoying someone important beyond the point of no return.
