Customer login status

Hi.

Just wondering if there's anyone that has tried to get the login status displayed somewhere(ie top right maybe?)

Something like 'Welcome, 'customer_name'. And prior to login it could say Welcome, Guest. Please login or create an account.

Re: Customer login status

The code to handle this is already in the top header nav (Home / Login in stock ZC). The Login changes to Logout / My Account when logged in, and you could change or add code in tpl_header.php for other output. The Welcome, name is handled in, I believe, tpl_index_default.php, and you could adapt that to the header location.
