From Ametys 4.3
As of Ametys 4.3, it is possible (and recommended) to retrieve the logged-in user at javascript using the JS getAmetysUser function.
This makes it possible, for example, to display a login button and/or user menu on public pages and pages that can be laid out.
The getAmetysUser function is used in conjunction with a callback function. The callback function receives :
- null if no user is logged in
- either a JSON object representing the logged-in user (with login, name, first name, mail, ...)
Here's an example of HTML/JS code that displays a "Login" button if no user is logged in, or a menu with the user's name and a logout button.
<ul class="ametys-header-profile-menu">
<li id="userConnectItem" style="display: none">
<a class="ametys-header-connect-btn" href="{ametys:siteUriPrefix()}/_authenticate?requestedURL={ametys:siteUriPrefix()}/{$lang}/{$sitemap//page[@sitemap:current = 'true']/@sitemap:path}.html">Se connecter</a>
</li>
<li id="userMenuItem" style="display: none">
<a id="profileMenuInvoker" data-dropdown-target="#profileMenu">
<span class="ametys-header-profile-menu__item-text"></span>
<span class="ametys-dropdown-invoker__icon ametys-icon-angle-down"></span>
</a>
<div id="profileMenu">
<ul class="ametys-dropdown-menu">
<li class="ametys-dropdown-menu__item">
<a href="{ametys:siteUriPrefix()}/logout.html?requestedURL={ametys:siteUriPrefix()}/{$lang}/index.html">Se déconnecter</a>
</li>
</ul>
</div>
</li>
</ul>
<script type="text/javascript">
$j(document).ready(function() {
var _getAmetysUserCb = function(user)
{
if (user)
{
$j('#userMenuItem').find('.ametys-header-profile-menu__item-text').html(user.fullname);
$j('#userMenuItem').show();
$j('#userConnectItem').hide();
}
else
{
$j('#userMenuItem').hide();
$j('#userConnectItem').show();
}
}
getAmetysUser(_getAmetysUserCb);
});
</script>
