Javascript: Access to username

[Chris]

Can we get proboards.data('user').username to return the user's username?  I have some uses I'd like to include in a code I'm making.

Thanks

Edit: To elaborate, I'd like this because I want to render something readable to the user (username vs displayname, not ID), but it also needs to be unchangeable (so, just username remains.)

Bumping as I am also interested.

Hi,

We will be adding many things to the proboards.data() options for you guys. Stay tuned.

VS Admin can i request that one of them be to grab a custom domain?

 so something like:

proboards.data('forum').domain

and it'll return the default pb domain if no custom domain is attached to the forum.

would be great to have for my affiliate table plugin for those who have custom domains for their forum.

In this case, what's wrong with just doing location.host?

it's fine, but it'll only grab the url of the forum the user is viewing. if they access the forum from the pb domain and the forum has a custom domain, location.host will only grab the pb domain.

Just wanted to know a use case where it was relevant. That'll do for me.

As we draw closer to v5 release, I'm wondering if we have anything on this yet.

[Ryan Roos]

Release is still 3.5 months away. We have these things in our notes.

[Chris]

Actually, this has been implemented as of right now.
