how to get the customers first name to appear in head.tpl
 

How can I get the customers first name to appear in the head.tpl. I tried adding the {$userinfo.b_firstname} tag but it didnt work;

This will give you the full name that the customer registered with.

that did not work for me, does anyone know another option their another option

It only works if the visitor is logged in and allowed a cookie to be set on their machine.

is there any way call the {$userinfo.firstname} and have it appear on the cart?
