Displaying First Name Only in eGuide
Problem
A Forum reader recently asked:
"When logging in eGuide, in the above header, I see "Welcome : FIRSTNAME Initials LASTNAME" ... I want to get rid of the 'Initials', but I can't find where to do this."
And here's the response from Andrey Karyagin ...
Solution
To display FIRSTNAME only you should implement the following steps:
1. Locate the eguideheader.xsl file. On the Win32 platform this will be:
C:\Program Files\Novell\Tomcat\webapps\eGuide\WEB-INF\templates\xsl\default\browser
On a NetWare 6.5 server this will be:
SYS:\tomcat\4\webapps\eGuide\WEB-INF\templates\xsl\default\browser
2. Look for the "<!-- WELCOME MESSAGE -->" block within this file.
3. In this block, replace
<xsl:value-of select="UserID/value/display"/>
with
<xsl:value-of select="substring-before( substring-after(UserID/value/display,'
'), '
' )"/>
4. Restart both Apache and Tomcat to see the difference.
5. Implement your own XSL transform to display LASTNAME only, or both FIRSTNAME and LASTNAME without Initials.
