Override MyAccountController Prestashop

Question

I'm using PS 1.6.1.1 and i would like to override MyAccountController to add new var in my tpl file.

I create my file in override/controllers/front/MyAccountController with :

class MyAccountControllerCore extends FrontController
public function initContent()
{        
    $smarty = new Smarty;
    $smarty->assign('firstname', 'Doug');

    $this->setTemplate(_PS_THEME_DIR_.'my-account.tpl');
}

}

When i call <span>{$firstname}</span> in my tpl file, not work.

I removed cache/class_index.php

Any idea ?

Thanks !
