[Neutral Singh]

How can i pass a variable in a phrase in the postbit? So, that along with every post, the name of the poster can be shown as shown in the image.

For example: Phrase abc has value "Start a Conversation with {username}", here what would the xenforo variable to be passed in the phrase...

Sorry, i have no clue how to implement it... i am no programmer...

What Brogan linked isn't really programming. It kinda answers your question, I can't really even add to that. That's how to use variables in templates.

Essentially you just edit the appropriate template (see this guide for how to determine that: https://xenforo.com/community/resources/how-to.4390/) and in its most basic form, you would add this, wrapped in an appropriate a tag:

Start a conversation with {$user.username}

Thanks @Brogan

Actually, i had already figured it out that it would be {$user.username} but i was wondering if i could put it in a phrase... which i was asking in the first post... but it was returning {$user.username} as it is.

Actually, it was a template modification and i had to put {$user.username} in there to be able to make it work and now it works!

{xenhrase 'phrase_name', 'variable={$value}'}

phrase_name:
This is {variable}
