Welcome Guest and Name missing

[ozstar]

Not sure what has happened here and it's the first time it's happened to me but for some reason the greeting on the mainpage is not there.

The text starts with the wording I changed in the Admin main page area.

I looked in languages/english.php and found this but not sure what else I need to look at to see why it doesn't show.

Thanks

That welcome/greeting has been removed from the templates and is never there in osCMax. It has been that way as long as I can remember. I think if you look in index_default.tpl.php or index_nested.tpl.php, the code may still be in the template, but commented out. I do not have the files in front of me now, so I cannot check.

Thanks Michael,

I looked in those 2 you mentioned in /fallback/content/ but couldn't see anything that looked like it might do anything for the 'Welcome', then again I don't trust myself either in this department!!

The version that does have it working (maybe /3 year old)..

has this when I see source ion main page..

<tr>

<td><img src="http://www.oscmax.com/forums/images/pixel_trans.gif" border="0" alt="" width="100%" height="10"></td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td><table border="0" width="100%" cellspacing="0" cellpadding="0">
<tr>
<td class="main">Welcome <span class="greetUser">Guest!</span> Would you like to <a href="http://www.starliterecords.com.au/catalog/login.php?osCsid=c661e320a379b95992f3c365483ca27f" ><u>log yourself in</u></a>? Or would you prefer to <a href="http://www.starliterecords.com.au/catalog/create_account.php?osCsid=c661e320a379b95992f3c365 483ca27f"><u>create an account</u></a>?</td>

Starlite Records : Welcome to Starlite's OnLine Shop

and has those files in templates/content/ not like the new version (1 month)

SydneyBiz : Welcome to CRX Industrial.com

which doesn't have that in source and has them in templates/aabox/ etc.

I'm sure I didn't add them from a contrib, then again maybe I did.

I have looked at the contribs on osc and oscm but can't find anything there either.

The client for the newer crx site wants that facility so somehow I have to add it.

Thanks again

Is there any way I can put the welcome back there? As I can't find the commented out code, it must have been taken out totally.

Anyone know how I can get this back again.

A named welcome whenever the customer signs in is what I need.

Thanks

Ah Haa.

It proves, never give up and always look look look again, especially after a cooling off time!

Michael suggested the files and I did look, but who knows why I couldn't see it?

Anyway, this morning with a fresh mind I decided to look again in the..

/templates/fallback/content/index_default.tpl.php in

and what did I see..

Yes !! the commented out 'welcome customer or guest' code!

I coulda cried!!

This is it and the // was like this..

<td class="main"><?php //php echo tep_customer_greeting(); ?>

Removed this..

php //

and it worked!

<tr>
<td><table border="0" width="100%" cellspacing="0" cellpadding="0">
<tr>
<td class="main"><?php echo tep_customer_greeting(); ?></td>
</tr>

Thanks again Michael!
