My welcome message displays wrong customer's name

[tumil]

Hi

So i wanted to add a welcome message in a top navigation bar on my shop. This navigation bar is from a module.

I edited module's .tpl file and added this code in front of it:

<li><b>Hi, {$customerName}! </b></li>

It works, the name is displayed. But not the right name. Customer A sees a name of the Customer B in this message. It works good only after I reset cache but when someone logs in after I clear cache, it is again displayed in a wrong way. It's obvious that I can't reset cache each time when a customer logs in. What is wrong?

I changed it to

<li><b>Hi, {nocache}{$customerName}{/nocache}! </b></li>

And it seems to work properly. But is it the right solution? I just want to make sure it won't have any influence on caching all the others elements of my site.

It will not have any influence on other elements of your site.

 

Problem was in module. Its hook was taking data from cache.
