Hi,

How do you modify the "greeting" displayed in the CB Login box?

I would like to change "Hi, FIRSTNAME" to "Hi FIRSTNAME. Welcome Back". Please note that the comma has been removed as well as adding text to the end.

I've searched and haven't come across anything obvious in the forums.

I would imagine that it's in the modules/mod_cb_login.php file. Something like this looks promising:

[code:1]
$avatarDisplayed = false;
if ($show_avatar == 0) {
if ($greeting) echo '<span id="mod_login_greeting'.$class_sfx.'">'._HI.$name.'</span>'$
} else {
[/code:1]

But I'm not exactly sure how to change it, if this even is the correct file or one of the relevant code snippets.

Thanks!

It's in the language/english.php file, line 418.

[code:1]/** classes/html/usermenu.php */
DEFINE('_UMENU_TITLE','User Menu');
DEFINE('_HI','Hi, ');[/code:1]


I would say that you wanted to put something after it, do a ('_UMENU_WELCOMEBACK','. Welcome Back!');
and insert that into the cblogin module code where needed.

I changed my "Hi," but I haven't tried adding the welcome back yet.


Edit:

yup, it worked.

On line 279 and 285 of the modules/mod_cblogin.php I added my welcome code:
[code:1]if ($greeting) echo '<span id="mod_login_greeting'.$class_sfx.'">'._HI.$name._UMENU_WELCOMEBACK.'</span>'.($horizontal ? " " : ""«»);

if (($avatar_position=="default"«») and ($greeting)) echo '<span id="mod_login_greeting'.$class_sfx.'">'._HI.$name._UMENU_WELCOMEBACK.'</span>';
[/code:1]

Thanks for the great reply. This worked perfectly.

As a small tip for those following along in the future, be sure to specify the same variable (i.e. _UMENU_WELCOME or _UMENU_WELCOMEBACK).

Thanks again!
