Hi,

that is farily easy:

(:if equal {$AuthId} tom:)
Hi Tom
(:if:)
(:if equal {$AuthId} bob:)
Hi Bob	
(:if:)

If you want the names to be uppercase in first letter, use this in  
config.php:

include_once('scripts/authuser.php'); (should already be in there)
$AuthIdUC = substr($AuthId, 0, -1);

Then you have $AuthId (like tom)
and $AuthIdUC (like Tom)

Makes a good greeting:

Welcome {$AuthIdUC}!

best Regards,
Tom
