Login status outside WHMCS install

[oldjuster]

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

Any joy on this? As I am trying to achieve the same thing.

 

Thanks.

That code you posted there does not go in the header.tpl and init.php is no longer used in custom pages.... see the wiki for the correct code for creating pages
