WHMCS and Joomla! sessions to talk?

[kers7754]

I built a joomla 2.5 module that correctly integrates an AJAX login. It does this all through AJAX requests and is really smooth. It uses mootools ajax request to call the validateLogin API. Then onComplete, it does another ajax request to do the autoauth. The autoauth correctly sets the PHP session variables and the WHMCS correctly believes I am logged in.

 

But from Joomla!, I can't read those $_SESSION variables. After a ton of research, it turns out the Joomla uses their own database session state.

 

Does anyone know how I can read the session variables that are set in autoauth in Joomla?

 

Thanks,

I decided not to use session on the Joomla side and I got this to work. What I do is on the Joomla module, I call ajax functions to get session outside of joomla (WHMCS session) and it is working well.

Can you PM me your site so I can see it?

My site is doory.com and the login is located on the right sidebar

 

Try this...

log in with a random username and password

log in with this test account:

email: test@test.com

password: test

you can do this... after the autoauth is successful, point your browser to a php page with the following php script that will print out the entire session array:

 

<? session_start(); echo("<pre>" . print_r($_SESSION) . "</pre>"); ?>
