Need to call Customer ID

[stampsville]

Hi all,

I'm working on the "auction mod" and need to call the customer id from the database in order to display their id. What I need:

(Not even romotely familier with the codes to do this)

1 If possible, call the user forum id to the auction page and the account page for identification. I currently have the customer id # on the auctions.

OR

2. I need to call the customer id number for the account page.

I have sorted out alot of the layout bugs and such (I think).

Anyone interested in helping to finish this PM me.

What was the solution that worked for you?

Hi Ajeh,

This worked, <?php echo $_SESSION['customer_id']; ?> .

This gives the customer # in "my account" of a user, in which is their auction user ID.

A little help please. excuse my lack of skills.
I'm trying to get the Sidebox Shopping Cart Sidebox to identify the customer .

How would I script this so that the Sidebox Shopping Cart shows the Customers " 'firstname' Cart " instead of "Shopping Cart"

using
<?php echo $_SESSION['customer_id']; ?> to extract the info from DB
into the line:
define('BOX_HEADING_SHOPPING_CART', 'Shopping Cart');

in the \includes\languages\cherry_zen\english.php
cheers.

When a customer is logged in, there is also:
$_SESSION['customer_first_name']

Thanks very much

I used (for example)
define('HEADING_TITLE', ''.$_SESSION['customer_first_name'].' '.$_SESSION['customer_last_name'].' is logged on.');

Thanks very much...great!

I used (for example)
define('HEADING_TITLE', ''.$_SESSION['customer_first_name'].' '.$_SESSION['customer_last_name'].' is logged on.');

and in the \includes\languages\cherry_zen\english.php override file


// shopping_cart box text in sideboxes/shopping_cart.php
define('BOX_HEADING_SHOPPING_CART', 'Shopping Cart');
define('BOX_SHOPPING_CART_EMPTY', ''.$_SESSION['customer_first_name'].' '.$_SESSION['customer_last_name'].'<br />Cart is empty.');
define('BOX_SHOPPING_CART_DIVIDER', 'ea.-&nbsp;');

to display customer name in the shopping cart sidebox when cart is empty
