Need to call Customer ID

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? :smile:

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

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.- ');

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