I would like to add a block to the landing page (Dashboard) with a welcome message using the username like "Welcome back Username". Is there a way to do this? If so, can someone share the HTML code?

HTML code to show the username
Hi, attached is what our landing page looks like. It is using an HTML block with this coding.
Hi {alternatename}
Welcome to GEM,
Diamond's Learning Portal.
Hope this helps.

Thank you very much for your reply. I tried adding this to the block, but it didn't work.
Can you please send me the complete HTML code for the block?
Regards

Hi Suhaz,
The coding is just like this:
<h3>Hi {alternatename}</h3><h3>Welcome to GEM,<br>Diamond's Learning Portal.</h3>
Alternatename is a field we have populated in the Users Accounts under Additional names. The block was originally created for us by our external partner so I am not sure if they had to do anything in the setup to allow that field to be recognised.

Hi everyone, thanks for discussing this idea, I find it very good to "personalise" the wellcome dashboard. Unfortunately this HTML code didn't work in my HTML block. I still see
although I posted: <h3>Hi {alternatename}, Welcome to</h3> in the HTML view
Is there any way to make this work?
Thanks!
Best regards,
Senka
Hi Senka
That looks like it is using the filtercodes plugin.
I can't give you any more information than this though.
