Icy Phoenix

I have moved to ICY 2.0, i have a seperate page that i use which is no longer working.

It checks if a user is logged in, if so then it pulls information from a database, it was fully working in 1.53, i noticed that the session management has changed so my question to you experts is

what is ICY2.0 equivalent to this ICY1.53 code

[code linenumbers=false]// standard session management
$userdata = session_pagestart($user_ip);
// Check to see if user is logged in

if ((!$userdata['session_logged_in']) )
// No he isnt
{
redirect(append_sid(LOGIN_MG . '?redirect=alerts.' . PHP_EXT));

}

else
// Yes they are
{
init_userprefs($userdata);

rest of my code
.
.


}

an how do i parse into a tpl called alertz_VIP.tpl or is the method of parsing still the same ?

regards

Something like this may help? :mryellow:




Note the: $user->data

And you should still be able to use the "old" template code to parse the templates.

Thanks Mort, after adding your code and -- full_page_generation() , at the very end. i now have it working confusing but now i understand. one last question, if i am already logged in and i click on the link in menu to bring me to this page it opens up a login prompt which it never use to. ie it is continually forcing you to login.

Then I suspect that you haven't got the menu -> link permission-protected for users and it thinks everyone is a guest?
if (! = if(not

You need something like this.



To be honest, I haven't had much of a look at IP2 - So some of this is patchy. :P

I have



i have a load of code after the curley bracket to, once logged in it does as it should but each time page is called it defaults to login ?

Anyone else have any idea why i am being double logged in

There are not too many things that will send you to the wrong place, so if I'm not wrong - And I usually am. :(

1. You don't have the redirect set properly.

2. The form action is wrong in either the php file or the template.

Here's an example using album_upload.php.

below is the

Redirect Code :-





Form Action, this form is called from a link, the link being in overall_header.tpl --

<a href="http://www.scotbird.co.uk/scotforum/alertz_VIP.php" class="invert">Alertz</a>&nbsp;&nbsp;<img src="{FULL_SITE_PATH}{IMG_MENU_SEP}" alt="" />&nbsp;


This link then goes to the alertz_VIP.tpl page where the code is



Scenario 1

I am a user that has not logged in, i go direct to this page http://www.scotbird.co.uk/scotforum/alertz_VIP.php and i get redirected to the login, once logged in i can view.

Scenario 2

I am a LOGGED IN USER and browse to the page http://www.scotbird.co.uk/scotforum/alertz_VIP.php and i get asked to re-login.

Can someone assist Mort and help me resolve this as i am going nutz.

Also how do i change the page title in ICY2.0 ?

regards

If you are losing sleep over this - Then offer MG bucks to fix it. After all, It's a "Private" MOD, and I don't think that many people are going to put themselves out trying to help resolve it. :(

In other words - If I or others could personally install it on v*53 - I or others maybe could upgrade it for v2 - IF it had ever been released here with install instructions.

And no offence - The bottom line is like me posting a whole heap of unknown script and asking "How do I fix this" ?

I suspect that you need to add the "location" to => functions_online.php

Mort,

I never released it as a mod as it is a custom page that displays information from a database ( single ) , and my skillz i feel are not strong with regards to IP hence since it was for personal use i did not release, but i did follow all guidelines when creating it in 1.53.

I take on board what you are saying that it is beyond yourself hence the reason why i am asking if there is anyone else. when i first joined IP there was many who helped with issues, now it seems only a few.

The code suggested for checking if the users is logged in should work properly... make sure the whole file is coded properly, here is how it should look from the beginning:



If this code isn't working you have errors somewhere else... try to paste here even the initial part of the code of the file.

Full code of my file, when i get home i will try what you suggest

Andy, Please have a look at the what MG posted, as you have to define the session etc before you start adding anything else.

You've got it halfway down the script, where it's not meant to be?

And "Please" Wrap your scripts in the spoiler. :(

I have tried what MG has suggested, later when i am at home i will repost what i have at present.

Regards

And I'm sorry I was so blunt. :(

Because I should have added in the "Reasons why the path goes awry" is that if the session is lost everything falls apart. And the biggest problem that causes that is adding the "header" script too late.

:oops:

Andy, did you check if it works?
