Posting the hack I just created to display “Hi, <username>” instead of “Login/Register” on the header. That way my users & I can quickly tell if we’re logged in when we first visit the site.

pull up index.php, replace:

<span id=”ja-hp-switch”>Login/Register</span>

with this:

<span id=”ja-hp-switch”>
<?php
$greeting = $params->def( ‘greeting’, 1 );
$name = $my->username;
if ( $name ) {
$name = $my->username;
echo _HI;
echo $name;
}
else { echo ‘Login/Register’; }
?>
</span>

You’ll note that I opted to hardcode username instead of “name”, as I use username on the site.

Ok, it’s not really rocket science-level tips, but i’m going on 4 weeks of Joomla experience, so i’m content with being able to figure *something* out.

Well done, that’s a great hack!
