Does this exist ?

Hi,

 

My idea is when a customer logs in my site his first and last name to appear somewhere in the header like Welcome Mike Taylor or whatever and this thing to stay there until the customer doesn't logoff/logout.

 

Does someone know a contribution that can do this or anything. I tried several but nothing worked

Some code like this in the header works:

 

<?php
if (tep_session_is_registered('customer_first_name') && tep_session_is_registered('customer_id')) {
 echo '<tr class="header"><td>';
 echo 'Welcome ' . tep_output_string_protected($customer_first_name) . '!';
 echo '</td> </tr>';
}
?>

I'll try it out right now, thanks

Yep this works.

 

Now it is funny that when you login on my site the "create account" and "customer login" fields stay in the header. Can I somehow make them Dissapear and in their place add "Welcome Mike Taylor" and "Go to account" ?

Post the code from your /includes/header.php file (between CODE tags to preserve formatting)

Thats a heavy task for me to accomplish, is there any contribution that can guide me step by step ?

No because you have a template.

 

It's not "standard" osC.
