Display Customer Name Question

[SteveKim]

A new zenner trying to customize it to make a little customer friendly.
What would I place instead of HEADER_TITLE_LOGOFF to show something like "Welcome James"??

Below code is part of my tpl_header:

<?php if ($_SESSION['customer_id']) { ?>
<li><p style="text-align: left; margin-top: -5px; margin-bottom: -5px"><a href="<?php echo zen_href_link(FILENAME_LOGOFF, '', 'SSL'); ?>"><?php echo HEADER_TITLE_LOGOFF; ?></a></li>
<li><p style="text-align: left; margin-top: -5px; margin-bottom: -5px"><a href="<?php echo zen_href_link(FILENAME_ACCOUNT, '', 'SSL'); ?>"><?php echo HEADER_TITLE_MY_ACCOUNT; ?></a></li>
<?php

If your install is rendering the phraase "HEADER_TITLE_LOGOFF" you have corrupt files or a mis-edit

Thanks for posting Kobra.
My [initial] posting probably is somewhat misleading.
It works fine with HEADER_TITLE_LOGOFF, which shows "Log Out".

What I wanted it to display instead is "Welcome James!!", using some kind of variable pulled from the session, or even from the DB if it would not take too much of a resource.

As I'm not much of a programmer or dba, am seeking for some help on php code...

I believe this is a default function...

Is this not working for you?

Thanks kobra,

I should've been more specific.
By default it does displays personalized welcome message fine, utilizing /includes/languages/english/index.php.

But I wanted it on Header and that's why the code I initially included above was tpl_header.php file from my template.

I was able to implement alternate header mod that looks somewhat like walmart.com's header and was not able to find the 'code' for php, sql, or the right varible to call customer's name.

Pasting the code from index.php to tpl_header had no luck...


I was just shy to post my site, but here it is..toolusa dot com:

Another asked about this....Juust the code does not work but as far as I have gotten with this is you also need the div to contain it and this is .greeting

All in the tpl_header.php
