Description

@archont00

opened on Aug 10, 2017

Steps to reproduce

  1. Login to nextcloud

Expected behaviour

The user should be able to see his login name, avatar or whatever that makes clear who is logged in.

If not directly in top bar, then at least in the drop-down menu of the "settings" icon. Displaying there an empty avatar and text Personal ("Osobní") has no informational value.

Actual behaviour

User name is not displayed.

Server configuration

Operating system:
Alpine Linux

Web server:
Nginx

Nextcloud version:
12.0.1
Updated from an older Nextcloud/ownCloud or fresh install:
12.0
Where did you install Nextcloud from:
wonderfall/nextcloud docker image

nextcloud 12 0 1 - missing username

    @nextcloud/designers because we intentionally removed it. Wasn't the plan to add this as first entry in the gear icon?

    The user should be able to see his login name, avatar or whatever that makes clear who is logged in.

    If the avatar is set, then it is shown instead of the gearwheel icon.

    We could add it as the first entry of the gear icon, but it would just duplicate the link to »Settings«. We could say »Log out username« on the bottom, but then the menu would get very wide.

    What do the other @nextcloud/designers think?

    • Maybe replace the gear with the initials (as on sharing or personal settings page too) to indicate better who is logged in ;)

    We tried that out, it looked strange. We tried it with white circle around white initial, white filled circle with primary colored initial, and colored filled circle with initial (like elsewhere) – all looked weird and didn’t make it obvious for new users where settings are. This settings icon is very nice for the first run experience.

    But yeah, the proposal to add the name and online status etc is where we can go. However we don’t have online status or anything like that yet. ;)

    Not sure if this is the right place for this but I would like to add this as a feature I would like. Since I administer multiple user accounts at my company there is on easy way to know who's account I'm logged into without logging into their profile. It would be nice in the menu at the top

    Just upgraded from 12.0.1 to 12.0.4, and now the menu is missing. I do have the search icon and the "imprint" in the top right corner. Disabling the imprint app via CLI does not help. The "delete *.css" workaround did not help either. The ff workaround code line is by now part of the installation anyway. The browser is irrelevant, firefox, chrome, konqueror, qupzilla on linux and ff and edge on win10 all yield the same result.
    Any new ideas anyone how to approach the issue, please?
