Showing client name if logged in outside of WHMCS?

[Terry]

Hello!

 

I am trying to create something so that when the client is logged in it will show their name on all my pages, I am using the code:

 

{if $loggedin}Hello! {$clientsdetails.firstname} {$clientsdetails.lastname}

{else}

Hello Guest!{/if}

 

However when I look at the page its outputting the code and not actually doing anything.

 

Any ideas why this is happening? ( I am not the best at PHP )

well as long as the page is within whmcs DIR that should work fine

Ah right this is probably why, is their a way to do it if the page is not in the directory?

you could always build your site within whmcs that way all whmcs codes will work within your site

you can follow my sig if you want as well to see

Store it in a cookie accessible on your entire domain.

Thanks,

 

I have decided to use PHP Sessions to get the users ID then query the database for the info needed

I don't mean to hi-jack this thread but I have a similar issue. I have created a page with some of the tags like the following. It seems the server doesn't know about the tags and I get a error. I have the file placed in the whmcs folder and have also tried with std header used on the php part of a template. Any thoughts on this

 

{if $loggedin}Hello! {$clientsdetails.firstname} {$clientsdetails.lastname}

{else}

Hello Guest!{/if}
