Login and Logout

Hi there,
Here is a toughy for me, which hopefully someone could shed some light on.

My site is here.

I recently posted a question about getting my Log In greeting into the header and having it work. Here is the post.

Now I have the 'Welcome Guest, would you like to log yourself in?', which is great.

When I click on it and log myself in I get this, 'Hello *****! Would you like to see our newest additions?'.

I would like to change this to 'Hello *****! When your finished you can log out here.', or something like that.

Refer to the post to see what code I put in the header.

I'm pretty sure this is what I have to change, located in '/popoutportraits.com/cart/includes/functions/functions_customers.php'

// Return a customer greeting
  function zen_customer_greeting() {

    if (isset($_SESSION['customer_id']) && $_SESSION['customer_first_name']) {
      $greeting_string = sprintf(TEXT_GREETING_PERSONAL, zen_output_string_protected($_SESSION['customer_first_name']), zen_href_link(FILENAME_PRODUCTS_NEW));
    } else {
      $greeting_string = sprintf(TEXT_GREETING_GUEST, zen_href_link(FILENAME_LOGIN, '', 'SSL'), zen_href_link(FILENAME_CREATE_ACCOUNT, '', 'SSL'));
    }

    return $greeting_string;
  }

  function zen_count_customer_orders($id = '', $check_session = true) {
    global $db;

    if (is_numeric($id) == false) {
      if ($_SESSION['customer_id']) {
        $id = $_SESSION['customer_id'];
      } else {
        return 0;
      }
    }

    if ($check_session == true) {
      if ( ($_SESSION['customer_id'] == false) || ($id != $_SESSION['customer_id']) ) {
        return 0;
      }
    }

Any help or suggestions would be appreciated.

Thanks again,
Happyworker

I have now changed my site not to include the above. I found that this would take too much work in changing multiple files in PHP which I'm not all that familiar with.

I have gone back to the login/logoff #navmain, and just moved it over with the css. This is giving me a cleaner code and a cleaner look.

As for the 'Welcome message', well I ended up moving this back and taking out some text.

I just wanted to give an update so that I avoid any question of 'what are you talking about, your site isn't matching what you asked'.

I believe that the intial question is still a good one, and no doubt a hard one. It would be interesting to find out how it works....if someone is keen to work it out.

Cheers,
Happyworker

G'day Happyworker,

Came across your posts while looking into something similar myself.

The text that is output is TEXT_GREETING_PERSONAL which is defined in /includes/languages/english/your-template/index.php. You would need to change this text.

The zen_customer_greeting function in /includes/functions/functions_customer.php uses that text to output the page content.

You would need to come up with a replacement for the part of that function which provides the link details. That is,

zen_href_link(FILENAME_PRODUCTS_NEW)

Best Regards, Lloyd Borrett.
