mhamberg wrote:I wrote an application that I want to interface with Joomla. Everything works fine, but the final piece is that when a member views the page, I want them to see only their own information. This means that I have to know which user is viewing the page.

I'm trying to use this code to do this:

Code: Select all

require('../libraries/joomla/factory.php');
$user =& JFactory::getUser();
$user_id = $user->id;

Once I know the user id I can do my own processing. However, the result of this code is:

Fatal error: Call to undefined function jimport() in /home/(username)/public_html/libraries/joomla/factory.php on line 159

How do I make it so that I can grab the userid of the viewing user in my application? Please help!

Thank you

define('JPATH_BASE', dirname(__FILE__) );

define( 'DS', DIRECTORY_SEPARATOR );

require_once ( JPATH_BASE .DS.'includes'.DS.'defines.php' );
require_once ( JPATH_BASE .DS.'includes'.DS.'framework.php' );

mhamberg wrote:Thanks, I had to fix a couple of other things like you mentioned. I ended up having to move the code into the root directory because putting it in a subdirectory was giving me 'restricted access.' I also had to initialize the application.

Here's the code that I needed in total:

Code: Select all

// Set flag that this is a parent file
define( '_JEXEC', 1 );

define('JPATH_BASE', dirname(__FILE__) );

define( 'DS', DIRECTORY_SEPARATOR );

require_once ( JPATH_BASE .DS.'includes'.DS.'defines.php' );
require_once ( JPATH_BASE .DS.'includes'.DS.'framework.php' );

require('libraries/joomla/factory.php');

// initialize the application 
$mainframe =& JFactory::getApplication('site');
$mainframe->initialise();

....

// Take in user id parameter to only show for a specific user
$user =& JFactory::getUser();
$user_id = $user->get('id');

"No configuration file found and no installation code available. Exiting.."

any idea?? what's missing?

define( 'DS', DIRECTORY_SEPARATOR );
$rootFolder = explode(DS,dirname(__FILE__));
	
//current level in diretoty structure
$currentfolderlevel = 9;

array_splice($rootFolder,-$currentfolderlevel);

$base_folder = implode(DS,$rootFolder);


if(is_dir($base_folder.DS.'libraries'.DS.'joomla'))   
{
	
	define( '_JEXEC', 1 );
	
	define('JPATH_BASE',implode(DS,$rootFolder));
	
	require_once ( JPATH_BASE .DS.'includes'.DS.'defines.php' );
        require_once ( JPATH_BASE .DS.'includes'.DS.'framework.php' );
        $userid='';
        $usertype='';
$mainframe =& JFactory::getApplication('site');
$mainframe->initialise();
$user =& JFactory::getUser();
$userid = $user->get('id');
$usertype = $user->get('usertype');
}
