Hi all, I'm wondering if this is possible natively with ES:

I'd like to have a module that says, "Hello {user first name}, we're glad you're here." Or something like that.

There is a plugin called Nice User Info that does this, but it only works for the user's **full** name as stored in the _users table.

There's also the standard $user = JFactory::getUser();, but putting php into modules is tricky.

Does ES have a similar type of plugin, OR a JFactory type of snippet that I can add to the template, the somehow call in modules?

Thanks!
Hey Amy,

You could customize the "Nice User Info" plugin to render EasySocial to get the person's display name. It should be something like this,
