ABP UI breaks with long usernames and difference between UIs #10449

  • What you see is expected: they are different UIs backed by different implementations.

    • Angular UI reads the header dropdown from the client-side currentUser info and typically displays userName.
    • The other screen (the “My Account for API”, MVC/Razor profile management page) uses server-side rendering and typically displays the full name (Name + Surname) and falls back to username if those are empty.
    • Also note: before ABP v4.3 the “My Account” link in Angular used to redirect to the MVC profile page; since v4.3, if you add the Angular Account Module, “My Account” is an Angular page instead. So mixing of pages/UIs can happen depending on which modules you use and which link you click.

  • Fixing the long username UI break / truncation (Angular):

    1. Change what is shown in the header user area (recommended): show full name (or whatever you want) instead of userName.
       • In your Angular layout/header template, locate the part similar to:

  <strong>{{ (currentUser$ | async)?.userName }}</strong>
  

   - Replace it with name/surname (with fallback), e.g.:
  

  <strong>
           {{
             ((currentUser$ | async)?.name || '') + ' ' + ((currentUser$ | async)?.surname || '')
               || (currentUser$ | async)?.userName
           }}
         </strong>
  

   - If your template doesn’t have `name`/`surname` available in the `currentUser` object, you can still solve the UI break with CSS (next step) or extend what you load into `currentUser` (project-specific).
  

  2. Prevent layout break via CSS (works even if you keep username):
     • Apply ellipsis truncation on the element that contains the username, for example:

  .my-user-display-name {
           max-width: 180px;      /* adjust */
           display: inline-block;
           overflow: hidden;
           text-overflow: ellipsis;
           white-space: nowrap;
           vertical-align: bottom;
         }
  

     And wrap the displayed text:
  

  <strong class="my-user-display-name">{{ (currentUser$ | async)?.userName }}</strong>
  

  • Changing which properties are shown in My Account / Manage Profile:
    • Angular My Account page (Account Module) is customizable by replacing/patching the relevant tab/component (so you can show userName, name, surname, etc. in a consistent way).
    • MVC/Razor profile management page is a separate UI and must be customized on the MVC side (different mechanism).

  This seem to be related

  https://abp.io/support/questions/5889/Use-user-first-name-and-last-name-on-the-menu-profile--instead-of-user-name-in-ABPUSer-table

  but seems complicated and will probably break if LeptonX theme is updated.

  We would ideally just want to his the username below the profile picture, and then have all UIs show Firstname Lastname when you go into the user accont menu (like with the MVC UI)

  Also, how could we disable/hide everything but the logout button in this absurdly complicated user menu that make it seem like you are logged in as an admin even though it is a normal user?

  hi

  We will adjust Angular to display name and surname in the next patch version.

  Also, how could we disable/hide everything but the logout button in this absurdly complicated user menu that make it seem like you are logged in as an admin even though it is a normal user?

  Our Angular team will guide you in removing the menu items.

  For MVC:

  You can add a new MyUserMenuContributor to remove them.

  PostConfigure<AbpNavigationOptions>(options =>
  {
      options.MenuContributors.Add(new MyUserMenuContributor());
  });
  public class MyUserMenuContributor : IMenuContributor
  {
      public virtual Task ConfigureMenuAsync(MenuConfigurationContext context)
      {
          if (context.Menu.Name != StandardMenus.User)
          {
              return Task.CompletedTask;
          }
  
          context.Menu.TryRemoveMenuItem("Account.LinkedAccounts");
          context.Menu.TryRemoveMenuItem("Account.AuthorityDelegation");
          context.Menu.TryRemoveMenuItem("Account.ExternalLogins");
  
          return Task.CompletedTask;
      }
  }
  
  

  Thanks.

  Hello,

  The recommended way to customize the related toolbar is to follow the approach described here: https://abp.io/support/questions/5889/Use-user-first-name-and-last-name-on-the-menu-profile--instead-of-user-name-in-ABPUSer-table

  First, create a custom toolbar component like the example below:

  import { Component, ViewEncapsulation } from '@angular/core';
  import { AsyncPipe, NgTemplateOutlet } from '@angular/common';
  import { LpxAvatarModule } from '@volo/ngx-lepton-x.core';
  import { ToolbarComponent, LpxToolbarModule } from '@volosoft/ngx-lepton-x/layouts';
  
  @Component({
    selector: 'lpx-toolbar',
    template: `
      <div class="lpx-toolbar">
        @if (userProfileService.user$ | async; as user) {
          <ng-content></ng-content>
          <nav class="lpx-toolbar">
            <ul class="lpx-nav-menu">
              @if (authService.isUserExists$ | async) {
                <li #profileLink class="outer-menu-item lpx-user-menu" (click)="profileClick.emit()">
                  <a class="lpx-menu-item-link">
                    <lpx-avatar [avatar]="user.avatar"></lpx-avatar>
                    <!--UPDATE HERE-->
                    <span class="lpx-menu-item-text">{{ user.fullName || user.userName }}</span>
                    <!--UPDATE HERE-->
                  </a>
                </li>
              } @else {
                <li class="outer-menu-item lpx-user-menu text-center">
                  <a class="lpx-menu-item-link" (click)="navigateToLogin()">
                    <i class="bi bi-box-arrow-right"></i>
                  </a>
                </li>
              }
            </ul>
  
            <ng-container
              *ngTemplateOutlet="
                itemsTmp || defaultItemsTmp;
                context: { $implicit: toolbarService.items$ | async }
              "
            ></ng-container>
          </nav>
        }
        <ng-template #defaultItemsTmp let-items>
          <lpx-toolbar-items [items]="items"></lpx-toolbar-items>
        </ng-template>
      </div>
    `,
    imports: [AsyncPipe, NgTemplateOutlet, LpxAvatarModule, LpxToolbarModule],
    encapsulation: ViewEncapsulation.None,
  })
  export class MyToolbarComponent extends ToolbarComponent {}
  

  Next, create a toolbar container component:

  import { Component } from '@angular/core';
  import { AsyncPipe } from '@angular/common';
  import { observeOn } from 'rxjs/operators';
  import { asyncScheduler } from 'rxjs';
  import {
    LpxCoreModule,
    LpxNavbarModule,
    LpxAvatarModule,
    LpxClickOutsideModule,
  } from '@volo/ngx-lepton-x.core';
  import { LpxContextMenuModule } from '@volosoft/ngx-lepton-x';
  import { ToolbarContainerComponent } from '@volosoft/ngx-lepton-x/layouts';
  import { MyToolbarComponent } from '../my-toolbar/my-toolbar.component';
  
  @Component({
    selector: 'app-toolbar-container',
    template: `
      <lpx-toolbar [profileRef]="profileRef$" (profileClick)="toggleCtxMenu()">
        @if (
          {
            user: userProfileService.user$ | async,
            profileRef: profileRefForMenu$ | async,
          };
          as data
        ) {
          @if (data.profileRef) {
            <lpx-context-menu
              #menu="lpx-context-menu"
              (lpxClickOutside)="menu.close()"
              [exceptedRefs]="[data.profileRef]"
            >
              <lpx-context-menu-header>
                <div class="lpx-user-ctx-header">
                  <div class="lpx-user-ctx-img">
                    <lpx-avatar [avatar]="data.user?.avatar"></lpx-avatar>
                  </div>
                  <div class="lpx-user-ctx-info">
                    <span class="lpx-context-menu-user-name">{{
                      data.user?.fullName || data.user?.userName
                    }}</span>
                    @if (data.user?.tenant?.name; as tenantName) {
                      <span class="lpx-context-menu-user-tenant">{{ tenantName }}</span>
                    }
                    <span class="lpx-context-menu-user-email">{{ data.user?.email }}</span>
                  </div>
                </div>
              </lpx-context-menu-header>
  
              @for (actions of data.user?.userActionGroups; track actions.id) {
                <lpx-context-menu-action-group>
                  <lpx-navbar-routes [navbarItems]="actions" [routerItem]="false"></lpx-navbar-routes>
                </lpx-context-menu-action-group>
              }
            </lpx-context-menu>
          }
        }
      </lpx-toolbar>
    `,
    imports: [
      AsyncPipe,
      LpxAvatarModule,
      LpxClickOutsideModule,
      LpxContextMenuModule,
      LpxCoreModule,
      LpxNavbarModule,
      MyToolbarComponent,
    ],
  })
  export class MyToolbarContainerComponent extends ToolbarContainerComponent {
    /** Deferred so NG0100 is avoided when profileRef$ emits after the same CD cycle. */
    protected profileRefForMenu$ = this.profileRef$.pipe(observeOn(asyncScheduler));
  }
  

  Finally, replace the default toolbar component in your root app component:

  import { eThemeLeptonXComponents } from '@volosoft/abp.ng.theme.lepton-x';
  import { MyToolbarContainerComponent } from './my-toolbar-container/my-toolbar-container.component';
  
  @Component({
    selector: 'app-root',
    template: `
      <abp-loader-bar />
      <abp-dynamic-layout />
      <abp-gdpr-cookie-consent />
    `,
    imports: [LoaderBarComponent, DynamicLayoutComponent, GdprCookieConsentComponent],
  })
  export class AppComponent {
    protected readonly replaceableService = inject(ReplaceableComponentsService);
  
    constructor() {
      this.replaceableService.add({
        key: eThemeLeptonXComponents.Toolbar,
        component: MyToolbarContainerComponent,
      });
    }
  }
  

  You mentioned that this approach seems complicated and might break if the LeptonX theme is updated.

  There’s no need for concer since we do not frequently introduce breaking changes that would affect this structure, it should remain stable.

  Thank you for your cooperation.
