Re: Placeholder for current user name in content

[Benjamin . Papez]

Hi,

we would like that the content editor is able to write a greeting text, like:


"Hi Phillippe,
this is your personal portal-page!"


So instead of the user name, he would use a placeholder, which could even be a HTML tag.

The solution you described me doesn't help me as the text "Current user is:" is hardcoded, but I want the content editor decide what he wants to write. It is not solvable with the box type as boxes or their content cannot be concatenated. It is always another box, what is created.

Do you have another idea if this requirement could be solved easily?
