Customer Last Name

[goldfox]

HALP!

I'm stuck in a loop here guys. This seems very rudimentary, and I've found a few threads that seem to answer my exact problem, but the code isn't working when I try to implement it.

I want a customer greeting to read:

"Logged in as *First name* *Last name*."

I have at the moment:

Logged in as <?php echo zen_output_string_protected($_SESSION['customer_first_name']); ?> <?php echo zen_output_string_protected($_SESSION['customer_last_name']); ?>.

The first name is working, but the last name isn't.

I've checked the modules/pages/login/header_php.php, and last name IS being checked into $_SESSION.

Sorry to ask a dumb question, but I've been failing for hours.

Where, as in what file, have you added that too?

[goldfox]

The header for my custom template:

includes/templates/*my template name*/common/tpl_header.php

Seems to work fine for me ...

Can you grab the code around it such as 5 lines above and 5 lines below and post it?

<div id="navMain">
<ul class="back" style="color:#c50006">
<?php if ($_SESSION['customer_id']) { ?>
<li style="float:left; font-size:14px;"">

Logged in as <a href="<?php echo zen_href_link(FILENAME_ACCOUNT, '', 'SSL'); ?>" style="padding:0px;"><?php echo zen_output_string_protected($_SESSION['customer_first_name']); ?> <?php echo zen_output_string_protected($address['lastname']); ?>.</a></li>
</ul>
</div>


Is there a cleaner way to paste code? This is my first time EVER on a development forum... I fear this will post completely unreadable.

Your code is using:

zen_output_string_protected($address['lastname'])

how about trying the session variable you asked about:

$_SESSION['customer_last_name']

See if that works better for you ...

Sorry I posted the wrong code. That was some fail thread that said to call $address. Which didn't work.

It was meant to be this:

<div id="navMain">
<ul class="back" style="color:#c50006">
<?php if ($_SESSION['customer_id']) { ?>
<li style="float:left; font-size:14px;"">Logged in as <a href="<?php echo zen_href_link(FILENAME_ACCOUNT, '', 'SSL'); ?>" style="padding:0px;"><?php echo zen_output_string_protected($_SESSION['customer_first_name']); ?> <?php echo zen_output_string_protected($_SESSION['customer_last_name']); ?>.</a></li>
</ul>
</div>

... which still isn't working my end. :'(

Your code works great for me ...

Can you peek in the:
/includes/modules/pages/login/header_php.php

do you have this code on around line 87:

        $_SESSION['customer_last_name'] = $check_customer->fields['customers_lastname'];

Can you check the account that you are working with and make sure that there is a lastname set on it?

Could you also check in phpMyAdmin for the table:
address_book

and make sure that there is a last name in the field:
entry_lastname

for that customer?

[goldfox]

I have that exact code on my line 87 of header_php.php.

Also checked there is definitely a lastname set. It shows up in the account settings and if I call the full address label.
And it shows up in the Active Users in the site admin.

Totally bamboozled!
