user details for macro

Darren Johnston

Hello,

trying to find what parameters are available in user macros as below.

As in I just want the users firstname to show but cannot seem to get the syntax correct.

$action.remoteUser.name   (works)
$action.remoteUser.FullName  (works)
$action.remoteUser.FirstName  (nothing)
$action.remoteUser.LastName  (nothing)

 

 is there any documentation showing this  data?

 

thanks

Stephen Deutsch

Here are some of the functions available to the Confluence User object:

https://docs.atlassian.com/atlassian-confluence/6.6.0/com/atlassian/confluence/user/ConfluenceUserImpl.html

Unfortunately, there's nothing available to pull the first name, as Confluence doesn't keep track of which part of the full name is a first name, middle name, or last name. However, you could assume that it is the first word of the full name string in most cases. Therefore you could use something like this:

#set ( $fullName = $action.remoteUser.fullName )
#for ( $word in $fullName.split(" ") )
    #set ( $firstName = $word )
    #break
#end
<p>$firstName</p>
