Hi,
Can anyone tell me how to grab the logged in student name and display it inside the assignment source, example:
"Hi <P><?=$loggedinas ?></P>, this assignment is to test your way of thought"
Then it must display
"Hi Martin, this assignment is to test your way of thought"
I have looked at the "footer.html" file and tried it in the source, but it displays the code after I close the source view option.
Any ideas ?
Here is the code to display the name, but it may not work in the assignment...
<? echo "$USER->firstname $USER->lastname"; ?>
I tried to add it within an assignment and didn't get it to work..
sorry.
Edited two files: one for the moodle home page and one for subsequent pages.
1. display the user name on the home page, centered just under the logo
edit theme/mm/header.html at about line 17, just under the line that calls the logo (in the standard logo theme, but note that theme/mm is my personal theme) I inserted this:
|
<!-- paula added display of user name next line --> <br><center><font size="1"> <a href="/cweb/login/logout.php" title="Logout"><? echo "$USER->firstname $USER->lastname"; ?><$ </font></center><!-- stop paula --> |
2. Now, replace the existing text "logout" link with the user name as
logout link. again, the title attribute provides a reminder label when
you hover the link. Edit lib/weblib.php at about line 597

// paula this replaces the logout link text with the user name - replace the following line // $menu = "<FONT SIZE=2><A TARGET=_parent HREF="$CFG->wwwroot/login/logout.php" >".get_string("logout")."</A></FONT>"; // with this new line $menu = "<FONT SIZE=2><A title="Logout" TARGET=_parent HREF="$CFG->wwwroot/login/logout.php">$USER->firstname $USER->lastname</A></FONT>"; // stop paula |
Please notice that on that line of code above 'stop paula' it should be one unbroken line but it wraps in this window.
