Username does not show up on welcome after email activation

[grynmoors]

After a person activates their account by following the link in the email, it says

Welcome to nameofyoursite.com, ! It is not displaying the username after the site name.

In the code of invite_friends.tpl, it says

Welcome to {$sitename}, {$username}!

I was able to fix this by replacing {$username} with {$smarty.session.USERNAME}.

This bug is fixed, bug fix will be available on next release

This problem still persists, even in 2.7! :shock:

[admin]

Open templates/invite_friends.tpl

Find

<h2>Welcome to {$site_name}, {$user_name}!</h2>

Replace with

<h2>Welcome to {$site_name}, {$smarty.session.USERNAME}!</h2>
