I have made a custom module in which I have an observer file. I need to display all information about the logged in user.

Use the event customer_login:

<customer_login>
    <observers>
        <yourobservername>
            <type>model</type>
            <class>yourmodule/path_to_class</class>
            <method>customerLogin</method>
        </yourobservername>
    </observers>
</customer_login>

Your observer class would look like this:

class YourCompany_YourModule_Model_Observer
{
    public function customerLogin($observer)
    {
        $customer = $observer->getCustomer();
    }
}

Try This

    if($customer = Mage::getSingleton('customer/session')->isLoggedIn()) {
$customer =  Mage::getSingleton('customer/session')->getCustomer();
       $customerData = Mage::getModel('customer/customer')->load($customer->getId())->getData();
       //for firstname
       $customerFirstName = $customerData['firstname'];
    }

    Mage::getSingleton('customer/session')->getCustomer() is enough to get customer details, then why reload customer instance again ? May 17, 2016 at 8:15
  • Yes it is not required . But I edited according to the code flow $customer -> getFirstname() will also work . May 17, 2016 at 9:03
