Add "Welcome (fist name) (last name) to Login

[dculley]

Just wondering does anyone know or have a script to add a greeting after the customer logs in to say Welcome with the customers name.

 

 

I have attached a pic in case the pic I copied to this form dos not show.

 

Thanks

You can use this code:

<?php echo tep_customer_greeting_full_name(); ?>

 

insert a new function:

catalog/includes/general.php

////
// Return a customer greeting
function tep_customer_greeting_full_name() {
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 . ' ' . $customer_last_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;
}

 

 

And need some change in login.php

 

Find:

// Check if email exists
$check_customer_query = tep_db_query("select customers_id, customers_firstname, customers_password, customers_email_address, customers_default_address_id from " . TABLE_CUSTOMERS . " where customers_email_address = '" . tep_db_input($email_address) . "'");

 

change:

// Check if email exists
$check_customer_query = tep_db_query("select customers_id, customers_firstname, customers_lastname, customers_password, customers_email_address, customers_default_address_id from " . TABLE_CUSTOMERS . " where customers_email_address = '" . tep_db_input($email_address) . "'");

 

find:

 tep_session_register('customer_first_name');

 

change to:

 tep_session_register('customer_first_name');
 tep_session_register('customer_last_name');

Thank you. I had done tried / done the changes to login.php. But did not figure out the other. Thanks again.

I didn't have a general.php to edit. running 2.3.3. So I created one.

 

Where does the <?php echo tep_customer_greeting_full_name(); ?> go. under what file am I looking for. I tried template_main.php.

Corrected the above general.php. Deleted the one I created under includes and changed the lines under includes/functions/general.php.

 

Still not sure where the echo goes.

Sorry you have one in catalog/includes/functions/general.php

 

The echo code could be in catalog/includes/header.php or catalog/includes/footer.php

Your lead help me.. Thanks. I'm using a template from AlgoZone. So Instead of updating header.php, I found that I had to update 2 of their files. Template_main.php and template_styles.css. Thanks again. You pointed me in the right direction.

I think need also one change in login.php

 

Find:

$customer_first_name = $check_customer['customers_firstname'];

 

change:

 

$customer_first_name = $check_customer['customers_firstname'];

$customer_last_name = $check_customer['customers_lastname'];
