Hi I have a question. I would like my homepage (not my store index.php) to be able to recognize if a customer is logged in. How would I do this? I know it has somthing to do with sessions and or cookies, but I just dont know how to go about it.

Homepage: /index.php

It uses the php session to store the customer logged in data.
Try the session_start() command on your homepage index.php and i believe it carries over
See the example here: http://php.net/manual/en/function.session-start.php
If logged in, there is a session variable called customer_id

Yup, but now I need to figure out how to echo or print the firstname? I have it set up like this...
In my main sites header.php i have this
Now if a customer is NOT logged in the notlogged.php shows the email and password inputs. which works fine.
My problem is this, I want to echo the customers name in the logged.php. I tried this but nothing...
I also tried this :
only welcome shows up..
In my main sites header.php i have this
Code: Select all
<?php
if (isset($_SESSION['customer_id'])) {
include_once "logged.php";
}
else {
include_once "notlogged.php";
}
?>My problem is this, I want to echo the customers name in the logged.php. I tried this but nothing...
Code: Select all
<?php echo $this->data['firstname'];?>Code: Select all
<?php echo "Welcome $firstname";?>Well thats all class stuff loaded from the index.php of the cart. You'd basically need to add session variables to the login process to store all these extra stuff you want to access outside of the store, as that is your common variable base between the two.
EDIT: system/helper/customer.php
FIND:
AFTER, ADD:
Do the same for any other variables you want to work with. You can see a list of all the available data in that same code area
Then in that same file,
FIND:
AFTER, ADD:
And any other variables you added
EDIT: system/helper/customer.php
FIND:
Code: Select all
$this->session->data['customer_id'] = $customer_query->row['customer_id'];Code: Select all
$this->session->data['firstname'] = $customer_query->row['firstname'];Then in that same file,
FIND:
Code: Select all
unset($this->session->data['customer_id']);Code: Select all
unset($this->session->data['firstname']);
Ok this is how I did the echo
And it works. Is that the right way to do it?
Thanks alot!
Code: Select all
<span class="dark2">Welcome Back <?php echo ($_SESSION['firstname']);?>!</span>Thanks alot!
Well, if they aren't logged in it might give an error since the variable won't be set. This would be best:
Code: Select all
<span class="dark2">Welcome Back <?php echo (isset($_SESSION['firstname'])) ? $_SESSION['firstname'] : '' ?>!</span>
Remember i had this:
so if they are not logged it wont even run
so is that ok? or should i still change the logged.php to what you put?
Code: Select all
<?php
if (isset($_SESSION['customer_id'])) {
include_once "logged.php";
}
else {
include_once "notlogged.php";
}
?>Code: Select all
<span class="dark2">Welcome Back <?php echo ($_SESSION['firstname']);?>!</span>
