Better late than never

@baris @PitaJ Are there some updates to these instructions? I don't think I'm seeing the right data when I run ajaxify.data and {name} isn't working but {config.userLang} is working.

[PitaJ]

@djensen47 can you give some more details? What page are you looking at etc

[djensen47]

I'm trying to insert some template data into an html widget. I'm currently looking at the homepage while testing this.

.... oh. But I'm still not sure how to get the user data like username.

[PitaJ]

@djensen47 ajaxify.data.loggedInUser.username would be loggedInUser.username in the template context.

[djensen47]

@PitaJ That didn't seem to work. On the home page (list of categories) ajaxify.data shows up as:

The only page (so far) that this seems to work on is a topic page.

[PitaJ]

@djensen47 oh, huh. Appears loggedInUser isn't defined on the home page (/category listing). Odd. In that case, you'll have to provide that data yourself by hooking into filter:<abc>.render or adding the info to the widget itself.

Otherwise you'll have to bug us to add that into core.

I'm using the HTML widget, is there another way to get this data into the HTML widget?

[PitaJ]

@djensen47 Not at this time AFAIK

[djensen47]

Looks like I can do it with JavaScript.

But lemmie tell you writing Javascript inside an HTML widget is a Pain In The Neck.
