galing!!!!

Thanks a lot!

Uhmmm do you like this?

require_once ‘app/Mage.php’;
umask(0);
Mage::app(“default”)->setCurrentStore(Mage_Core_Model_App::ADMIN_STORE_ID);
$profile = Mage::getModel(‘dataflow/profile’);
$userModel = Mage::getModel(‘admin/user’);
$userModel->setUserId(2); // or whatever else
Mage::getSingleton(‘admin/session’)->setUser($userModel);

[...] the Mage.php file on top of the process.php. Click here to see how. Then proceed with the php script [...]

The code snippets I have here on my blog are tested using Magento version 1.2.1.2.
You can check the changelogs of the version 1.3.2 if there’s some bugs regarding the isLoggedIn() function. Have you tested the script I mentioned above? Try testing this script:

<?php
// Include Magento application
require_once ( "/var/www/your-magento-directory/app/Mage.php" );
umask(0);

// Initialize Magento
Mage::app("default");

// You have two options here,
// "frontend" for frontend session or "adminhtml" for admin session
Mage::getSingleton("core/session", array("name" => "frontend"));

$session = Mage::getSingleton("customer/session");

if($session->isLoggedIn())
{
    echo "Logged in";
}else{
    echo "Not logged in";
}

Hassan, can you post here your script so we can replicate it and see where it fails?

Hey this isn’t working for me. When I include this in WordPress, I get a blank screen.

thanks!

A huge thanks for this. I was trying to do everything except the “Mage::getSingleton(“core/session”, array(“name” => “frontend”));”, Magento was acting as if everything was working, but the cart (in my test) wasn’t actually being updated. Thanks again.

it will help if you post your code here.

Can you post your code here as to how you used the code so I can help you? It will also help if you tell us the version of your WordPress and Magento.

magento 1.3.2.4 and wordpress 2.9.2 (install in directory “blog”)
I just add
require_once ( “../app/Mage.php” );
page render blank

if I create new page under “Blog” and put your code It’s work but not in theme.

I have tried absolute URL and put all code, page display bank again. if wrong path ,page display error.

Maybe session conflict between mage and wp?

I just want to pull customer name and email fill in name and email wp comment. T_T

Thanks Richard ^ ^

Hi Richard

Did you ever find out any more about this? I’ve been able to get everything working fine on a simple php doc, but keep getting the blank page when trying to include it in WordPress.

I’m including the file like this:

require_once($_SERVER['DOCUMENT_ROOT']."/magento/app/Mage.php"  );

in my theme’s header.php – using WordPress 2.9 and Magento 1.4.

Thanks

@pac:
it can be done by getting/setting the return_url value.

<?php
// extracts the return_url
$this->get('return_url');
// sets the return_url
$this->set('return_url', htmlentities($_GET['return']));

Hi Richard

Thanks for replying so quickly! The error_reporting’s really helped – looks like a problem with

Cannot redeclare __()

in wp-includes/l10n.php:101 which has given me a great lead – will post back if I find a solution.

Thanks again!

It seems there’s a function collision between magento and wordpress.

I have an update for this post. For users of Magento version 1.4.0.1, click here

Hello vesvello,

I’m just wondering, if you’re running Mage.php from an external page, why is it you’re require_once url is set to ‘app/Mage.php’? That will make your page run within magento installation folder right?

Richard

I see

I checked online and it seems it isn’t Magento that is causing that ‘too many redirect’ error. Possible causes are .htaccess settings, cookies, cache and or programming error. Try clearing the cache both your browser and Magento var/cache folder and include also the var/session folder then try it again.

How do you use the code I posted in this article?

Can you explain how should that htaccess rewrite rule work? May I know also what are you trying to achieve in your code so I could suggest other ways to achieve without changing any of the server settings? It really seems that your rewrite rule is set to loop forever.

Are you trying to run WordPress within Magento?s intallation or do you want to extend Magento?s session within WordPress? I saw that exact code which is also having the very same problem from someone?s blog article. Your problem isn?t actually Magento or WordPress related but rather server setting thru htaccess.

Thanks so much! this post is of great help!

Thanks for the posts on this topic!

Are you aware of a way to access the mage.php file in the same way, but from an application on a separate server – without changing permissions on that file?

We want to carry the high level cart information like price and item quantity between the website and the Magento store hosted on another server, so maybe you see a better way to do that?

First of all thanks for this post…it really helped me a lot..

I am having one small problem here…

I have a magento CMS page which links to the module phtml which decides whether to let the user access external website or not….

“frontend”));
$session = Mage::getSingleton(“customer/session”);
if(!($session->isLoggedIn()))
{
header(“Location:/customer/account/login/login_url/ “);
Mage::getSingleton(‘core/session’)->addError($this->__(‘Before you can access ABC website you must first create an account or login with us’));
exit;
}
else
{
header(“Status: 301″);
header(“Location: http://ABC.com “);
exit;
}
?>

here when the user is not logged in and is taken to dual page where he can either do the registration or login…after that he should be taken to ABC.com..how can that be achieved..i tried geturl() and seturl() but didn`t worked ..

Thanks Richard for the help and this awesome blog.

I found that this solution also works …
if(!($session->isLoggedIn()))
{
Mage::getSingleton(‘customer/session’)->setBeforeAuthUrl($this->getRequest()->getRequestUri());

it saves the url for where it will be redirected to after login/registration page…

will be glad..if it will work for others too…..

Don’t forget about translation init : Mage::app()->getTranslator()->init(‘frontend’);
