Default How do I show Customer's name instead of login??
I want to have the Customer's first name followed by the first letter of their last name to show up instead of their login ID.

I tried replacing {$login} in authbox.tpl with {$customer_info.firstname} {$customer_info.lastname|truncate:1:".":true}, but nothing shows up.

Anyone know how to do this? While I was testing Xcart earlier on I noticed that my name would show up right after "Welcome," at the top of the main customer area, but I don't want to simply pull the name from a cookie as the coe for that feature uses...unless, of course, the customer is logged in.

Is the logged in Customer's name always the same as that found in the cookie that is checked in welcome.tpl?

Thanks!
