How can I test for "if logged in" in an extension?
Development and Programming
Using sessions_end hook
Should be pretty simple, right?
if ($this->EE->session->userdata[‘member_id’] == 0) { //user is not logged in }
I’ve also tried group_id
But when I test that by visiting the site while not logged in, I get:
A PHP Error was encountered Severity: Notice Message: Undefined property: stdClass::$userdata Filename: gcx/ext.gcx.php Line Number: 160
A PHP Error was encountered Severity: Notice Message: Undefined property: stdClass::$flashdata Filename: libraries/Functions.php Line Number: 368
160 being the line where I am testing for the member_id/group_id
Any ideas?
Here is the entire function: http://pastie.org/private/wwdgsadqyqbgg3gyf3bvzw
I think the session object isn’t yet attached to this->EE at that point. But conveniently, you are passed the session object itself as a parameter to sessions_end:
function my_extension_hook_into_sessions_end(&$session)
{
if ( ! $session->userdata('member_id')) {
//not logged in
}
}Thanks Rob. No dice. I also used $sess in the function call with no luck. However, if I print_r($sess) I can see the output including userdata and a group_id of 3 and member_id of 0. Something else is amiss on this one…
Hey Chad,
Were you able to resolve this?
Not yet- haven’t had time to revisit. Hopefully Monday.
Hey Chad,
What do you get on $sdata?
function sess_end_hook($s)
{
echo $s->sdata['member_id'];
}sdata is within the $sess array. Erik helped me figure this one out - it was choking on the flash data array, which, at the point where the sessions_end hook is run, isn’t instantiated yet. By suppressing errors in my code it passes over this issue and works.
