Displaying User's Name after Login

[DavidGeran]

Can anyone advise on what variable to use in order to persist a users name on our pages after they have logged in?

Also looking to add a text box as a product option, i.e. What name would you like on your nameplate?

Many thanks for your help.

Forgive me if this is really obvious stuff

The important question, is it possible to take the users name after they have logged in and display it on every page until they log out?

Any help much appreciated.

Hi David

Once a customer log's in his name will automatically appear at the top of every page untill he log's out. If you have any customer accounts set up please login, and if you look at the top page you will find the customer's name appearing. If you want me to test it out create a test user and give me the login name and password so I can login.

To add a text box in your product description, in Actinic double click on the product you want the box to appear in and open up the "Product details' window. Browse to the Prompts Tab and type " What name would you like on your nameplate" in the "other Info" text box.

Hi Kiran,

Please use 'DavidGeran' and 'Rhiannon' as the password at www.youraromatherapy.co.uk - no name appears which suggests a variable has been removed during the redesign.

David

Hi David

Please upload your snapshot and send me a link to it. So I can take a look at it and get back to you.

Cheers

Kiran,

I've uploaded it to the www.youraromatherapy.co.uk/snapshop/ directory, file name is July15_backup.acd, although not sure you can see it - do you want me to email you the file (approx. 5mb zipped)?

Hi David,

I've sent you a mail

Hi David

Insert this code "<Actinic:NOWSERVING/><Actinic:CURRACCOUNT/><Actinic:LOGOUT_SIMPLE/>"into your primary template(usually Act_Primary.html) in between NETQUOTEVAR:HIDDENFIELDS and NETQUOTEVAR:BULK.

This will display the customer's name through out your site after they login

Thanks Kiran. That displays the account and user info in the top left hand corner of the catalogue pages after logging in:

(Now serving Aromatherapist Account)
(Current account David Geran) Logout

How do I customise the text, i.e. to display 'Welcome Fred' where Fred is the name of the user?

Is it also possible to derive a boolean value from this to optionally hide or display an image on the catalogue pages?

Thanks for your time on this, final part of the web site to finish

Regards,
David

I have the same issue;

where is the default "Welcome to Online Catalogue username" hidden away too.

I've searched design|text and scoured the templates.

thanks.

Hi

How do I customise the text, i.e. to display 'Welcome Fred' where Fred is the name of the user?

To customise the text browse to Design|Text|website|Customer Accounts, click on the GoTo button and type in ID 213 for Phase -1

where is the default "Welcome to Online Catalogue username" hidden away too.

Search for ID 210 for Phase -1 in Design|Text|website|Customer Accounts

Thanks, that was hidden

[DavidGeran]

Thanks Kiran, final question, can a boolean value be derived from whether or not a user is logged in, in order to optionally display an image / text elsewhere on the page?
