Hi,

I am using HTML macro in Confluence and want filter the data in a field on the basis of user who is logged in. 

Can somebody help me how to detect in the html macro, the current user who is logged in Confluence? will be a great help.

Hi Sanan,

In Javascript, you could use AJS.params.remoteUser to get the current logged in user's username.

Hi Stephen,

This realy works. Infact, it can work from javascript file also I have on the server.

I have one more question. AJS.params.remoteUser gives back the userid . is there any way to get the full name of user?

The data I have have is mapped to the full username . if can catch full user name in the html macro then I can just compare and match with the user name column in the datasheet.

OK. i got it. is AJS.params.currentUserFullname

Good, you could also get it as AJS.Meta.get("current-user-fullname")

That searches through the <meta> tags on the page, which also have some extra information.
