Add if user is to YAML (noob programmer) *Solved

Configuration
1

I found this template for a welcome message in my mushroom dashboard;

#Welcome template:
{% set time = now().hour %}
{% if (time >= 18) %}
  Good Evening, {{user}}!
{% elif (time >= 12) %}
  Good Afternoon, {{user}}!
{% elif (time >= 5) %}
  Good Morning, {{user}}!
{% else %}
  Hello, {{user}}!
{% endif %}

I want to add if user is ‘mrX’ then write ‘hello little x!’
else just write the username as in the template above implies.
But I am not a programmer and I don’t know YAML so can anyone show me how to do this possibly quite easy trick?
It would mean a lot and help me understand the programming of yaml.
Thanks! :slight_smile:

Do you want to substitute the entire phrase with hello little X?

In other words, you want it to say this:
hello little x!

instead of this:
Good evening, MrX

Good question. Ideally no. I would want the good afternoon etc. to stay and have just the {{user}} be replaced with a nickname if the user is that certain user.

#Welcome template:
{% set time = now().hour %}
{% set user = 'little X' if user == 'MrX' else user %}
{% if (time >= 18) %}
  Good Evening, {{user}}!
{% elif (time >= 12) %}
  Good Afternoon, {{user}}!
{% elif (time >= 5) %}
  Good Morning, {{user}}!
{% else %}
  Hello, {{user}}!
{% endif %}

aha! I thought I had to add a set string at the top… didn’t figure the out I had to use doube ==. Thats explains it. Thanks a bunch! :slight_smile:
