    I'm trying to use the following to display the users first name after logging on.
    {if $user.name_f}
    Hello {$user.name_f|escape}
    {else}
    <a href="/member.php">Please Login</a>
    {/if}

    However, it does not always work.

    Any suggestions?

    In the member.html template, I'd like to display the users 1st name.

    this should cover most of "how do i get the users name" type questions

    I did a print_r($_SESSION) and you will be amazed at what info you can retrieve
