But there is a referance for welcome.tpl file in customer/home_main.tpl template.

Where should be the reference in home.tpl file ?

My bad.. I meant home_main.tpl.

In welcome.tpl, try placing some text where your welcome text should be...
{$lng.txt_welcome} SOME TEXT HERE

and see if it shows up on your home page.
Are you getting the Welcome back "customer" or Welcome to "your site name" on the main page?

No this message doesn't show evevn though module "Greet Visitor" is enabled in the admin module options !!

Any other suggestion ?

Ok, it looks like your welcome.tpl isn't being called. Check home_main.tpl and make sure it has the following in it...

{elseif $main eq "catalog" and $current_category.category eq ""}
{include file="customer/main/welcome.tpl" f_products=$f_products}

and also make sure {include file="customer/home_main.tpl"} is in home.tpl (although you would probably have more problems than what you do if it wasn't there).

OK....I just figured out after some research my self.

Actually my shop is not in a root directory so I had made a special index.tpl & index.php (in root) to load store from directory /store & my index.tpl is not using home_main.tpl so welcome.tpl was not used . But now I have put string "{$lng.txt_welcome}" in my index.tpl & it's working fine.

Thanks JWait & all of you for your help & suggestions. I appreciate your co-operation

Looks like that may be the problem, although we did check that featured products were showing on the home page - which are in that welcome.tpl - so they would have to be being called from somewhere else if welcome.tpl isn't being used.

Featured products are called as following in my index.tpl file

{if $active_modules.Special_Offers ne ""}
{include file="modules/Special_Offers/customer/new_offers_message.tpl"}
{/if}
{include file="customer/main/featured.tpl" f_products=$f_products}

The index.tpl was created by qualiteam staff for me so I guess they must have created it after doing all the research
