LOGGING IN ISSUES

[charmed-imsure]

I've posted already but no repsonses :-( so I've changed the title to see if anyone can help.

 

I have an issue with the Welcome Guest - log yourself in or create account blah blah.

When you log in, it still says the same Welcome Guest, yet it knows you're logged in because it displays your cart & order history.

I've created a ficticious account so that if anyone would like to see for themselves please feel free if it will help. Please go to:

 

www.just-keyrings.co.uk

Log in as: john@doe.co.uk

password: johndoe

 

The current welcome bit is written into my includes/languages/english/index.php

 

The file define('TEXT_GREETING_PERSONAL', 'Welcome back <span class="greetUser">%s!</span> Would you like to see which <a href="%s"><u>new products</u></a> are available to purchase?');

is where it should be.

 

So how come this isn't working? Should there be something somewhere else point to it after a successful log in & if so, where?

The code that either says welcome guest or welcome john is done by the function tep_customer_greeting() in functions/general :

 

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;

}

 

 

 

Not sure why (unless the function is not as above). Logically, it would mean that there are no session variables for either the 'customer_first_name' or 'customer_id', so that the first if is always false. Try putting:

 

. ' ' . $customer_first_name . ' ' . $customer_id

 

before the last ; on the first $greeting_string as a test - it will echo the customer's first name and id number to the screen
