Properly Set Client Session

[SwiftModders]

Hey Guys,

I am attempting to create a client session and in the past I've always used:

$_SESSION['uid'] = 1;

This typically works fine if I wanted to grab some information specifically for a client, but that does not seem to work within some navbars that use:

Menu::context('client');

I was wondering if there is a way to set a client session so that the navbar hooks will believe a client is currently running this session. I guess, ultimately, I want to know is there a better way to set a client session besides just setting the UID.

Thanks for any advice!

Has anyone else noticed that the 

WHMCS\Authentication\Client::generateClientLoginHash()

method now requires 4 parameters as opposed to 3? Does anyone have any clue as to what the 4 parameters are?

I feel like I am probably talking to myself, but just in case anyone else is curious about the 4th paramter, it's email:

• clientId
• contactId
• passwordHash
• clientEmail

Those are the 4 parameters currently being used for the generateClientLoginHash method. Unfortunately, this didn't solve my problem with Menu::context('client'), but it could be helpful for other developers.

Ultimately, the issue I am having is I cannot figure out a way to pass Menu:context('client') as non-NULL. I would imagine that setting the UID and UPW in a session within WHMCS would generate a client object, but it doesn't. I'm not sure if there is another way around this.
