[Building Sakai] Display logged in user First Name in header area

[Steve Swinsburg]

Hi Kim

Have a look in the HTML that is output. If it's not there, the portal may not be outputting it.

Cheers,

The handler for that view is at 'portal/portal-impl/impl/src/java/org/sakaiproject/portal/charon/handlers/SiteHandler.java' and you can add the user's first name to the context there. The userId is in the session and you can use UserDirectoryService.getUser(userId) to get the User object for the current user.
