[solved] How to say "Hi, {firstname}!"?

[Guest]

Hey guys,

 

Is there any code available to insert the person's first name for a greeting that I can insert into text on a tpl document?

 

Thanks in advance!

You can use customer first name only when the customer is logged in your store.

to achieve this you have to use context object.

 

{assign var=context value=Context::getContext()}
Hi {$context->customer->firstname} !

 

Now you've got access to other context variables like customer email, lastname, language etc.

awesome, don't you think?
