Joomla 1.5 login message

Hi,
I'm managing an old Joomla 1.5 site that I didn't create.
Most of the site is public, but there is small login area at the top of the home page to allow certain people to login and view a Registered page.
once they login, the "Please Login" message is replaced with "Hi Clients!". I've been trying to find where the "Hi Clients" message is generated from for weeks but I can't find it (I need to change the text).
Any ideas?
Thanks!

open the site in chorme or Firefox and right click on there and check view source or could you please provide the website name?

Here is the "view source" code for the area of the site that is displaying the message after the user logins into the registered area of the site. Posting the URL of the site wouldn't help as you'd need a password to get into it and I can't provide that. hopefully this source might help you figure it out.
Thanks,

<form action="index.php" method="post" name="login">

<span class="niftyquick" style="display: block;">
      <span class="yoo-login">

                        <span class="logout">

                                    <span class="greeting">Hi Clients,</span>

                  <span class="logout-button">
                        <button value="Logout" name="Submit" type="submit" title="Logout">Logout</button>
                  </span>

                  <input type="hidden" name="option" value="com_user" />
                  <input type="hidden" name="task" value="logout" />
                  <input type="hidden" name="return" value="Lw==" />

            </span>

looking at the code it is a Yoologin Module
there's a youtube video about installing and setting it up:

Chiltern: Thanks for the information.
I looked through all of those areas and didn't find any text input that matched the 'after login' message. It's very odd. But I was able to kind of fix it. In the options, there is a "greeting" radio button that was set to "yes". I changed it to "no" and the post-text disappeared. I did want to change the text and not remove it, but removing it is the next best thing.
Thanks

if its tied into Joomla 1.5 then the greeting message may be in the English language file

try the folder:

language\en-GB folder

Interesting.
I found this:
GREETING=Greeting
HINAME=Hi %s,
LOGIN MESSAGE=Login Message
LOGIN REDIREC
in this file: en-GB.mod_yoo_login.ini

Seems like the value I wanted to change is in the %s. What is that, a parameter that is passed in? if so, where would I start looking to see where it's passed in from?

Peter Hart

Probably an .ini file somewhere or the login manager (not sure what its called in 1.5) may have a setting (under user manager?)
Or Maybe replace it with hard text?
