Getting a user name through java script in sharepoint aspx page

Question

I am using Microsoft Office 365 (Plan P1). I have a user "ABC". I want that whenever ABC logs in, he is redirected to a specific site let's say Marketing site.

I am writing a javascript code as below:

<script type="text/javascript" language="javascript">

if(document.getElementById('<%=LoginName1.ClientID %>') == "ABC"; 
location.href="/teamsite/Home.aspx";

</script>

But I am getting error that code blocks not allowed. Can someone help?

Below is the code of page:

Answer 1

You used <% ... %> which is C# code and cannot be used in JavaScript alone.

To get the current user's login name you will need to make use of the SharePoint ECMA script object model. To get the login name you can use the following script:

<script type="text/javascript">
    ExecuteOrDelayUntilScriptLoaded(getUserData, "sp.js");  
    var context = null;
    var web = null;
    var currentUser = null;
        function getUserData() {
            context = new SP.ClientContext.get_current();
            web = context.get_web();
            currentUser = web.get_currentUser();
            currentUser.retrieve();
            context.load(web);
            context.executeQueryAsync(Function.createDelegate(this, this.onUserDataSuccess), Function.createDelegate(this, this.onUserDataFailure));
        }
        function onUserDataSuccess(sender, args) {
            var user = web.get_currentUser();
            alert('User name:' + user.get_title() + '\n Login Name:' + userObject.get_loginName());
        }
        function onUserDataFailure(sender, args) {
            alert('request failed ' + args.get_message() + '\n' + args.get_stackTrace());
        }
</script>

The important line is web.get_currentUser() which is the current user and afterwards you can do user.get_title(). Exactly in that onUserDataSuccess function you can do your redirect then.
