Show firstname not login on auth box when user logged in
 

It may be elsewhere in the forum, but someone just asked me for this one, so I'd thought I'd share how to have the auth box show the firstname instead of the login when the user is logged in.

1)
include/check_useraccount.php
add the following line to the list of smarty assignments:

$smarty->assign("login_firstname",$user_account["firstname"]);

2)
/authbox.tpl

line 7:
{$lng.txt_logged_in}{$login_firstname}!


That's it!

Thanks thats what i was looking for, could you please help me how to display first name and last name as well.

thanks

Here it is, for 4.0.11

authbox.tpl

you can format this as you want, you might put a
after the {$login_lastname} to get the text "is logged in" into the next line...

in check_useraccount.php

add line

below the line for the first name

Cheers, Andy
