USERINFO - retrieve details about a user (by default the logged-in user)
- Syntax:
%USERINFO%
- Expands to: =guest, TWikiGuest, =
To format that information differently:
- Syntax:
%USERINFO{format="$username is really $wikiname"}%
- Expands to:
guest is really TWikiGuest
.
- The tokens
$emails
, $username
, $wikiname
, $wikiusername
, and $groups
are available for use in the format string .By default, the info will be formatted as a comma-separated list of the username, wikiusername, and emails.
To get information about another user:
- Syntax:
%USERINFO{"TWikiGuest" format="$username is really $wikiname"}%
- Expands to:
guest is really TWikiGuest
- The parameter should be the wikiname of a user. You can only get information about another user if the
{AntiSpam}{HideUserDetails}
configuration option is not enabled, or if you are an admin. (User details are hidden in this TWiki)
