Hi all

I have a module that requires a {member_id} before that variable is parsed (as the modules are parsed beforehand)... so I’ve used PHP, but I’ve found that the Session class only works for hose users who have logged in with the control panel…

My users log in using a members login form, and I need to retrieve their {member_id} from the cookie so I can pass to this form…  all attempts have failed 😕

any help with this would be greatly appreciated…

many thanks in advance

Have you tried using logged_in_member_id instead of member_id?

Hi Mike

Yeah..  I tried that first.  The module I’m using (after a bit of debugging) was being passed the literal string “{logged_in_member_id}”...  also, if I use

<?php echo $this->EE->session->userdata('logged_in_member_id'); ?>

it returns a blank value

if I look at my cookies I can see an exp_sessionid, which I understand, is the same id used in the control panel if I were to log in there…  is there any way of parsing that ID and retrieving the data without tearing strips out of the code (something I’d like to avoid)

Nevermind… user error 😕

Hi, eyekiller - I just want to confirm that you did get this working?

Thank you!

Hey Lisa

Yes, I got this working… the

<?php echo $this->EE->session->userdata('member_id'); ?>

worked.

Awesome, very glad to hear it! If anything else comes up, please let us know, and have a wonderful weekend!
