Check external session before store loads

[urgentprog]

Something like require('/user/checkStatus') in ZC which returns a variable and avoid sessions altogether?

Would I create an observer for this or put it into application_top? Thanks

It may depend on what you want to happen if you find the "check" returning a response that says the person isn't logged in.
What do you want ZC to do in that case?

I would just like to do a header('Location: /');

In that case simply put your custom detection code in /includes/extra_configures/check_kohana.php as there's no need for the complexity of observers.

Thanks. There are two issues:

Wouldn't accessing kohana from zencart using require, curl, fopen or file_get_contents start a different session, as the user logs in with the browser and the script uses the server?

Also is there an issue if authorize.net calls a form_action_url from a cronjob and the kohana session does not exists?

There are lots more questions beyond those, that still need consideration. This whole issue is way larger than those few small things, and there's far too little detail about what you're ultimately trying to do here for me to give any answers suitable for use on a live site.

I want to limit zencart access to only users currently logged into kohana. I am using zencart 1.3.9 and php 5.2.10.

Could you please tell me what are the larger issues you see?

Could you please suggest resources on what else would need access to zen cart which could be blocked?
