You can use ECMA script to get current user name, give a reference of SP.js in your page :

    var currentcontext = new SP.ClientContext.get_current();
    var currentweb = currentcontext.get_web();
    currentcontext.load(currentweb);
    var currentuser = currentweb.get_currentUser();
    currentcontext.load(currentuser);
    var loginName = currentuser.get_loginName();

For more information check for ECMAScript for SharePoint 2010 or Client Object Model for SharePoint 2010.

Can you please let meknow how to give sp.js reference?

_{Friday, January 27, 2012 11:38 AM}

As you suggested, I added script and now contents like

<div class="ms-rteFontSize-2"><strong>Welcome <script type="text/javascript">

ExecuteOrDelayUntilScriptLoaded(getWebUserData, "sp.js");
var currentcontext = new SP.ClientContext.get_current();
    var currentweb = currentcontext.get_web();
    currentcontext.load(currentweb);
    var currentuser = currentweb.get_currentUser();
    currentcontext.load(currentuser);
    var loginName = currentuser.get_loginName();</script></strong></div>
<div class="ms-rteFontSize-2"><div class="ms-rtestate-read ms-rte-wpbox" contenteditable="false"><div class="ms-rtestate-notify  ms-rtestate-read 8b5027e9-99bb-4216-9c53-2a7d169fc560" id="div_8b5027e9-99bb-4216-9c53-2a7d169fc560"></div></div></div>

Once I save the HTML content, I got only "Welcome" no username is appearing here.

Once I save the page, script tag is removed automatically.

Let me know If I am soing anything wrong here?

Hi Avikumar,

try using <script type="javascript"> instead of <script type="text/javascript"> and type the double quoutes (") manually rather than coping them.

<script type="javascript">
var loginName = "<%= SPContext.Current.Web.CurrentUser.Name %>";
document.write(loginName);
</script>

Hope this will help :)!

Regards

Yup, you are right for visual webpart.

<script type="text/javascript" language="javascript">
  ExecuteOrDelayUntilScriptLoaded(test, "sp.js");

 function test() {
    this.ClientContext = SP.ClientContext.get_current();
  }
</script>

Don't add the js file directly in your page.... rather save it in a JS file and refer the js file in your master page... then you can easily using JQuery .. populate the loginName

//Script reference in master page

<script type="text/javascript" src="reference JQuery JS file"></script>

<script type="text/javascript" src="reference to your js file"></script>

<div class="ms-rteFontSize-2 userName"></div>
<div class="ms-rteFontSize-2"><div class="ms-rtestate-read ms-rte-wpbox" contenteditable="false"><div class="ms-rtestate-notify  ms-rtestate-read 8b5027e9-99bb-4216-9c53-2a7d169fc560" id="div_8b5027e9-99bb-4216-9c53-2a7d169fc560"></div></div></div>

//JS file code

ExecuteOrDelayUntilScriptLoaded(getWebUserData, "sp.js");

   function getWebUserData()
{
   var currentcontext = new SP.ClientContext.get_current();
    var currentweb = currentcontext.get_web();
    currentcontext.load(currentweb);
    var currentuser = currentweb.get_currentUser();
    currentcontext.load(currentuser);
    var loginName = currentuser.get_loginName();
     //get refernce of the div by class name and insert the text
     jQuery("div.userName").html("<strong>Welcome"+loginName+"</strong>")
}

None of the approach works ...

I tried all of them...

for some it says codeblocks are not allowed in master pages.....

Tanmay is it ok to list our how to do your approach...

i tried that effort..but didn't worked....

try this make sure your master page references the jquery library before you type this of course. Removes last name (you can remove that) and is available on multiple languages

<script type="text/javascript">
$(document).ready(function() 
{
    var textDisplayArea = $('span.ms-welcomeMenu').children('a.ms-menu-a').children('span');
    var userName = textDisplayArea.text();
    var textToShow;

    // Trim the name. We are frendly right?
    var firstName = userName.split(" ")[0];
    
    // Which language?
    var currentLanguage = _spPageContextInfo.currentLanguage;
    if (currentLanguage == '1036')
    {
        textToShow = 'Bienvenue ' + firstName + "!";
    }
    else 
    {
        textToShow = 'Welcome ' + firstName + "!";
    }
    
    // Set the text back
    textDisplayArea.text(textToShow);
});
</script>
