Understanding and adapting WebLogin

I have a question relating to the web user login system in modx. (snippet: WebLogin)

If you specify a home document for a user and that user logs in and is forwarded to that start doc and later navigates away and then tries to return, he will see the message:

You’re already logged in Do you wish to logout? (chunk: FormLogin)

So the user has to log out in order to access his homepage again.

Is there a way, to also display the message "Would you like to return to your page?" so that user can re-enter their protected area ?

Any ideas on how such a thing would be done in Modx

?

Sure; in the Chunk you use as a template for WebLogin (&tpl=`FormLogin` or whatever you are calling it with), just add a link to it with that content ?

Hi opengeek,

ah bugger, "display the message "Would you like to return to your page?" so that user can re-enter their protected area ?"

should read "display a link back to the users home page with anchor text "would you like..."

I’m just wondering how to grab the users home page ID and make it a link? (Each user will have a different home page"

Start with something similar to the following. If you’re certain every user will have a homepage, you can probably do away with the if else stuff.

    global $modx;
    $userID = $modx->getLoginUserID();

    $wus = $modx->getFullTableName('web_user_settings');

    $sql =  "SELECT wus.setting_value";
    $sql .= " FROM {$wus} wus";
    $sql .= " WHERE wus.setting_name='login_home'";
    $sql .= " AND wus.webuser='{$userID}'";

    $qr = $modx->db->query($sql);

    $homePageDefault = "1";
    $homePageID = $homePageDefault;
    $count = $modx->db->getRecordCount($qr);
    if($count == 0) {
        //Default to home?
        $homePageID = $homePageDefault;
    } else if($count > 1) {
        //Can this happen?
        $homePageID = $homePageDefault;
    } else {
        $item = $modx->db->getRow($qr);
        if($item != '') {
            $homePageID = $item['setting_value'];
        }
        if($homePageID == "") {
            $homePageID = $homePageDefault;
        }
    }

    return $homePageID;

wow!
That was pure genius!
Absolutely works perfectly.

So I made your code into a snippet "UserID" and then added a link to chunk: FormLogin

<a href="[[UserID]]" title="Back to your page">Back to your page</a>

Very happy - thanks very much.

I guess this snippet could be adapted to grab the Full Name of the web user so you could greet them by their name instead of by their user name?

If a web user is logged in, you can grab alot of their info from the $_SESSION....

make this a snippet or grab the relevent part and add it to yours...

<?php
$output ="";
$webusername = $_SESSION['webShortname'];

$output .="Welcome <strong>$webusername</strong>";

 return $output;
?>

Is it possible to grab their Full Name from the session? Or would I need to dig a little deeper into the database for that?

eg. Instead of "Welcome UserName, you are now logged in" - greet them as - "Welcome Mark Jones, you are now logged in"

here is the $_SESSION output for a webuser (using 095)

Array ( 
[webShortname] => Breezer 
[webFullname] => Breezer Frazer
[webEmail] => [email protected] 
[webValidated] => 1 
[webInternalKey] => 1 
[webValid] => 
[webFailedlogins] => 0 
[webLastlogin] => 1180112943 
[webnrlogins] => 22 
[webUserGroupNames] => 
[webDocgroups] => 
[modx.web.session.cookie.lifetime] => 0 
[log_time] => 1180141250 
[ip] => xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx 
[webUsrConfigSet] => Array ( ) 
[mgrUsrConfigSet] => Array ( ) )

these can all be accessed by using $_SESSION[’variablename’] in your scripts....

you can also find them for yourself, make a page and then use this in a snippet :

$output .= print_r($_SESSION);

thanks Breezer. It’s dawning upon me that there’s not a great deal you can’t do with this framework.
Thanks for letting me know how to access the session data.
