Transformation into XWiki macro went with ease :) A lot less code in the pages now. I did an enhancement on the actual snippet itself, now it's capable of accepting comma-separated lists of log-ins, transforming them into comma-separated list of [full-user-name-link-to-user-page]. {{velocity}} #macro(displayFullNameByLogin $logins) ## split incoming string by zero-or-more number of ## ’ ’ (space), ’\t’ (tab) and ’,’ (comma) ## symbols. This way there will be less empty elements in the resulting array ## Useful links: ## http://platform.xwiki.org/xwiki/bin/view/DevGuide/Scripting#HBindings ## http://maven.xwiki.org/site/xwiki-core-parent/xwiki-core/apidocs/com/xpn/xwi... ## http://maven.xwiki.org/site/xwiki-core-parent/xwiki-core/apidocs/com/xpn/xwi... #set($userLoginsArray = $xcontext.util.split(’/[,| |\t]+/’, $logins)) {{html}} #foreach( $login in $userLoginsArray ) #if ("$!login" == "" ) ## ignore null or empty (see http://wiki.apache.org/velocity/CheckingForNull) #else #set($userDocName = "XWiki."+$login) ## check for last iteration before appending ", " ## http://velocity.apache.org/engine/devel/user-guide.html#Loops $xwiki.getUserName($userDocName, true)#if( $velocityHasNext ), #end #end #end {{/html}} #end {{/velocity}} Thanks for the hints! :) -- View this message in context: http://n2.nabble.com/Code-snippet-Full-user-name-and-link-by-log-in-tp483814...
