<p>In the template editor, under "Details", there's a
"Cachable" checkbox, checked by default. The help text reads:</p>
<p>
<cite>Only uncheck when developing templates which use request
handling, CMS query API, or other dynamic features.</cite></p>
<p>Uncheck this, because you're using dynamic features. Otherwise it
will always show the (cached) value from its first execution.</p>Olaf Kock2019-01-08T08:45:55ZRE: Unable to get the logged user screen name in velocity template - DXP?Chanakya Phttps://liferay.dev/c/message_boards/find_message?p_l_id=119785294&messageId=1119540462023-01-24T06:25:47Z2019-01-08T06:42:26Z<p>Thank you for reply.</p>

Freemarker. Now that we have that out of the way :) ...</p>
<p> </p>
<p>1. What if you use another mechanism to get the user? for example, if
you use the staticUtil to load the PortalUtil class and get the user
from the Request -- does it still give you the same result?</p>
<p>2. Can you share your velocity template with me. I will (reluctantly)
add it to a local DXP on my side and try it, if #1 doesn't give you a
better result.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>(Can you also share the exact version SP/FP you are running)</p>

<p>I used below code in velocity template (Structures and Template) to
get the logged user screenName<br /> <strong> #set( $user =
$permissionChecker.getUser()) <br /> Screen Name: $user.screenName<br></strong></p>
<p>Above code always giving test user related screenName eventhough
logged with other user.</p>
<p>
<strong>Actuall Result:</strong>
<br /> Always showing test user screen name eventhough logged with
other user.</p>
<p>
<br />
<strong>Expected Result:</strong>
<br /> It should show the user screen name who is logged in to the
portal.<br /> <br /> Can any help me out.</p>Chanakya P2019-01-07T12:49:17Z
