Posted on by Brandon95

Hi everybody. I'm creating a website and I try to use the liquid content on powerpage. I made a script that should say "Hi user.fullname" . Fullname should be different for everybody. It worked but since a few week, it write "Hi John Doe" for everybody, and of course we're not John Doe. Could somebody help me to see where I can find the variable user.fullname and so understand the problem ?

Thank's a lot, and sorry for my english

Here's the part of the code :

{% if user.logged_in %}

Hi {{ user.fullname }} <br /><br />

{% else %}

Welcome, Guest!<br /><br />

{% endif %}

not sure if this is related, but this doesn't look right {% if user.logged_in %}

all you need if

{% if user %}

Also, do you mean in the Portal Studio Design or the website itself?

in the Studio Design this is expected, but it's not your real website, it's just a preview

As per Oliver it is usually just

{%if user %}

The Liquid 'user' object does not exist if not logged in (you may actually get a Liquid error if accessing one of its properties for someone that is not logged in).

Are you actually on the Web Page (e.g. Previewing it) or just in the Site Editor? in the site editor it will always say John Doe.

Did we ever get this resolved?

I am having same issue. I get 'John Doe' for user.fullname in Power Pages Design Studio (PPDS) and in the preview.

It also shows the guid ({{user.id}}) The guid it shows does not exist in the contact table.

Is this a default value for an 'Anonymous user'?

Thanks,

Doug

@dgray304 the Designer will always show John Doe (and will not be a valid guid), when logged into the Website it should show the correct name.

The 'user' object only exists when logged into the website (there is no anonymous, which is why it should be wrapped in a {% if user %} ) - if you are just previewing make sure you are also logged into the Website (e.g. in private mode you will be logged into AD/Entra, but not logged into the website itself until you login to the website).
