[ARCHIVED] Code to Personalize Homepage to User

[caz1585]

Is there a way to make a page look personalized to the user? I'd like to embed the user's name and am not finding a good source to tell me yes or no. Thanks!

Hi  @caz1585  Welcome to the Canvas Community.

As every participant in the course will be seeing the same home page this isn't possible.

I've heard of some people being able to use the HTML to show date and time. Perhaps it could be altered depending on something you would prefer. Here's a link to that gem https://community.canvaslms.com/message/123008-re-set-datetime-on-homepage?commentID=123008#comment-...  

Sing out if you need a hand.
