Re: Placeholder for current user name in content

Hello Benjamin,

Interesting problem.
Would it not suffice to just agree on a specific syntax for this with 
your content editors, like:

*    "Hi ${user},*
    this is your personal portal-page!"

(or something less developer oriented / more HTML-like).

Then, you just need to write a special routine (either in jsp or java 
class) that 'preprocesses' a text field by replacing occurrences of the 
${user} token with the name of the current user. Call this routine from 
your templates for all text fields for which this should be enabled and 
you are set, I would think.

Yours,
  Jurjan-Paul
