What you can do is add define('WELCOME_GUEST', 'Welcome Guest'); to the index.php file located here: /public_html/catalog/includes/languages/english/

 

Then on your /public_html/catalog/index.php page you can add <?php echo WELCOME_GUEST; ?> where you want the message to display.

Thank you for your quick reply,

the thing is that i only get welcome guest,

even if I'm logged in it doesn't show the guest name,

only guest..

What should i change?

thanks again

I would check includes/functions/general.php file around line 985 + there is a function responsible for greetings.

Be sure you have FIRST name in database entered. and I would check the language English.php file if there any missing symbols especially <span class="greetUser">%s!</span>.

 

good luck

Hi

includes/functions/general.php

// Return a customer greeting
 function tep_customer_greeting() {
   global $customer_id, $customer_first_name;

   if (tep_session_is_registered('customer_first_name') && tep_session_is_registered('customer_id')) {
     $greeting_string = sprintf(TEXT_GREETING_PERSONAL, tep_output_string_protected($customer_first_name), tep_href_link(FILENAME_PRODUCTS_NEW));
   } else {
     $greeting_string = sprintf(TEXT_GREETING_GUEST, tep_href_link(FILENAME_LOGIN, '', 'SSL'), tep_href_link(FILENAME_CREATE_ACCOUNT, '', 'SSL'));
   }

   return $greeting_string;
 }

 

I think it is o.k(is it?)

 

language English.php file doesn't have any missing symbols

 

Sorry for the ignorant but' what do you mean "you have FIRST name in database entered"?

should i run someting special on my database?any special contribution i didn't now about...?

sorry, i don't have programming background.

thanks for the help

I meant that the function print first name from data base and if it is not in the database so nothing to show.

I hope I'm clear - English is not my first language.

 

Another thought - check the login in routine . Be sure you created account properly and check the Log in page file for incorrect coding .

I am not a programmer either just trying to help

good luck
