I am using XAMPP and the latest XOOPS 2.0.14. I have searched both XOOPS forums and the web on the subject personalizing the website. I found one website which have information on this subject posted in 2004. It refers to a mod for the Header and the Theme which states the following:

if ($xoopsUser != '') {
$xoopsTpl->assign(array('xoops_isuser' => true, 'xoops_userid' =>
$xoopsUser->getVar('uid'), 'xoops_uname' => $xoopsUser->getVar('uname'), 'xoops_urname' =>
$xoopsUser->getVar('name'), 'xoops_isadmin' =>
$xoopsUserIsAdmin));



For example, in my modified 7dana theme

<{if $xoops_isuser}>Welcome <{$xoops_uname}>. Your Account  | Logout <{else}>Welcome Guest. Register  | Sign In <{/if}>

<{$smarty.now|date_format:"%a, %b %e, %Y | %H:%M %Z"}>

Replacing <{$xoops_uname}> with <{$xoops_urname}>, now I can address you by your real name, of course providing that you have given me your real name .

In the example, if you don't have all users' real names, then you would have to use <{if}> tag to use alternate <{$xoops_uname}> if the real name field is blank


Problem: I am unable to find this code in the Header.php instead found it in the xoops13_header.php.

Question: Is there a way to personalize the users login to show the users real name instead of the users login ID? These changes I made to the Xoops13_header and the theme web page did not work for me, instead only removed the uname from the welcome message.

Thanks for any help you can give.
