Question on Header Template

[thedead]

For the user drop down menu on the top right, you have this code:

 <a href="#" class="dropdown-toggle" data-toggle="dropdown" id="user_logged_in_name"></a>

and in each page you have some JS to load the header:

   $('.navbar').load('header.php', function() {
        $('#user_logged_in_name').html('<i class="fa fa-user"></i> ' + user['user_name'] + ' <b class="caret"></b>');
        $('.navitem-dashboard').addClass('active');
      });

Why do you not just display the username directly in the header with PHP like this?

 <a href="#" class="dropdown-toggle" data-toggle="dropdown" id="active_team_name"><i class="fa fa-users"></i> $loggedinuser->username <b class="caret"></b></a>

That's actually left over from when I had the same header for both logged-in and logged-out users. But yes, you're correct that since that header now only applies to logged-in pages, we might as well just have it load the username directly in header.php.

Okay, makes sense...No Rush
