How Do I Display The Member's Username?

[Zain]

Hi,

Is there any shortcode to display the user’s profile information? For example:

Hi [emember_firstname], How's it going?

Cheers,

Zain

Update: Shortcodes to display any member details:

Just added the following two shortcodes in eMember:

[wp_eMember_first_name]

[wp_eMember_last_name]

You can get a new build of eMember from here:

Thanks again Amin. You Rock! Please remember to update the Shortcodes PDF file – that’s invaluable and I’m sure a lot of Admins, like me, use that all the time. I do tend to find that not all of the shortcodes are in there – occassionally there’s some on this forum. Would be great if they’re in once place…

BTW, a Shortcode PDF is something that WishList don’t do! You have to watch the videos or go through a lot of documentation to find the 1 line you need… ouch!

Cheers,

Zain

Just to let you know that I’ve amended this slightly so that the name shortcodes have <span> with a class round them. This is because sometimes User’s add their names *without* putting capitals on the firstname – having a span means that an Admin can fix this with a line of CSS.

Anyway, on wp_eMember1.php – on line 645, I’ve now added:

return '<span class="eMemberFirstName">'.$first_name.'</span>';

On line 653, the lastname has changed to:

return '<span class="eMemberLastName">'.$last_name.'</span>';

In the styles, an Admin can now use:

span.eMemberFirstName, span.eMemberLastName { text-transform: capitalize; }

And that will change the member’s name to be corrected.
