Profile Macro - How do I make it display the logged in user

Chris Hayes4

Is it possible to make the "Profile" macro function so that it displays profile info specific to the person logged in and using our Confluence intranet site?

What I'm trying to do is insert the user's profile information on the home page of our intranet so they are greeted with a more personalized experience, and also to call their attention to the profile information they have out there on our intranet site in case it needs to be updated.

In Confluence the "My-Picture" macro achieves what I'm looking to do, but only for the user's photo and not their full profile info.

Also, is it possible to customize the fields generated by "Profile" macro?

You could create a user macro that will implement the profile macro and put in the current user as the profile macro property. It would be something like this below.

## @noparams
 
<ac:structured-macro ac:name="profile">
	<ac:parameter ac:name="user">
		<ri:user ri:userkey="${action.authenticatedUser.key}"/>
	</ac:parameter>
</ac:structured-macro>

Great suggestion. Thanks! Do you have any idea as to how to customize the fields generated by the Profile macro? There doesn't seem to be any customization options available for that. I suppose it would require another user macro?

Hi Davin,

Where do you put these codes you write "

<ac:structured-macro ac:name="profile-picture">
<ac:parameter ac:name="User">
<ri:user ri:userkey="12345678912345678912345"/>
</ac:parameter>
</ac:structured-macro>" ?

In a velocity(.vm) file or .proverties file?

Could you please provide an example, thanks.

You put them in a user macro. You can create a user macro in Confluence Admin. Once you've created the user macro it will show up in the editor macro browser.
