Dear all, I know there had been a couple of threads with this same issue around here and studied them all very well, but I cannot find a resolution to the following problem: 1. I installed WHMCS in a directory called 'customers'. 2. I included a php file in the header.tpl with the following code: <?php require("init.php"); if ($_SESSION['uid']) { echo "Welkom, {$clientsdetails[firstname]} | <a href=\"logout.php\">Uitloggen</a>"; } else { echo "Inloggen | <a href=\"register.php\">Registreer</a>"; } ?> So far so good... the username is correctly showing up when needed. Now the bad part... 3. I tried to use this same code in the root of the server in index.php. That is one step outside the installation directory of WHMCS (and yes, I changed require("init.php"); to require("customers/init.php");. But that (what a suprise) isn't going to work. The things I already tried: 1. To add the line require("customers/dbconnect.php"); but this gives me a "Security Warning. The install folder needs to be deleted for security reasons before using WHMCS". 2. To add the line require("customers/includes/functions.php"); but nothing new. 3. Some other combinations I read about in previous threads about this subject. 3. To manually connect to the database and retreive the session information to display the correct things. Personally I think the last option is the one I need to get it up and running. Although the first one with somekind of workaround will do the job also. I hope this is clear enough, as you notice I am not a specialist in these kind of things. Thanks in advance! Justin
