Welcome message

[ebelew]

Something that might show welcome and the user name or guest.

Something along these lines

\

<?php global $user_nickname;

get_currentuserinfo();

if ( $user_nickname<> "" ) { ?>

Welcome <?php echo $user_nickname ?>.

<?php } else { ?>

Welcome Guest<?php } ?>

This will work - looks good on our site - thanks.

<?php

if( $currentuser ) {echo "$text[welcome], $currentuserdesc\n";}

else {echo "Welcome Guest";}

?>

Thanks, it works and shows "Welcome, Guest" but when I log in it shows "Welcome, " and no name.

Is something set up on my end wrong....

I can only see the html code that index.php produces.

The original code was:

<?php

if( $currentuser ) {

echo "<p><strong>$text[welcome], $currentuserdesc.</strong></p>\n";

}

?>

and the only change necesary is to add the else line. Must be something around currentuserdesc that is causing the problem. If you copy that part of your code into a reply then I could try it. (I am at less than novice level in php programing)

Sorry, my bad. It wasn't on the "Home" page yet, I've added it and it shows your name on the home page now. You must select one of the categories before you see it. Try the statistics link.
