Customers username in header

[mickgibbons]

Anyone have any ideas on this?. I've looked everywhere, and can't seem to find how i would do this.

I have tried using the code from the welcome message, but with no luck.

Thanks for the response. I saw this post. How would i output the variables??

copy this from /includes/templates/template_default/templates/tpl_index_default.php:

<?php if (SHOW_CUSTOMER_GREETING == 1) { ?>
<h2 class="greeting"><?php echo zen_customer_greeting(); ?></h2>
<?php } ?>

paste in /includes/templates/YOUR_TEMPLATE/common/tpl_header.php

then copy these from /includes/languages/english/index.php

define('TEXT_GREETING_GUEST', 'Welcome <span class="greetUser">Guest!</span> Would you like to <a href="%s">log yourself in</a>?');

define('TEXT_GREETING_PERSONAL', 'Hello <span class="greetUser">%s</span>! Would you like to see our <a href="%s">newest additions</a>?');

place it in or create new file /includes/languages/english/extra_definitions/header.php

Hope this helps!

This definitely works for me! I was having the system showing me TEXT_GREETING_GUEST literally and almost drove me crazy figuring what to do next. Thank you very much!

Glad this worked for you!
