Thread: Members login question

Hi,

I was able to create a members login area (thanks tutorials!). Now I want to know if it will be possible to display the name of the member as something like: Welcome "members name" at the top of the page as soon as the member logs in. I know it is automatically generated when using Joomla, can one do this with BV.

Regards

You can do it easily for the username but not for the real name.

The following is valid for all pages, which MUST be .php:

Add this code in the start of page:

<?php
session_start();
$username = "guest.";
if ($_SESSION['username'] != ""){
$username = $_SESSION['username'];
}
?>




Now add this text in your page, in the location where you need it:

Welcome '.$username.'

Format the text as you like.

Right click the text, select HTML and add the following codes:

In the Before Tag:
<?php
echo'


In the After Tag:

';
?>

Thanks a lot! I appreciate your help.
