Hello Richard,

Thanks for your reply. Let me explain what I am doing:

1) I had installed magento in a subfolder- “magento”. Then I had added the above code in test.php outside above said subfolder. I am not able to access the session or user status whether he is logged in or not. I am using magento 1.6.1 version.

I had not set any cookie path or anything from admin or frontend. Please let me know the complete process – How I get the logged in user status outside the magento folder.

I had tried with the web-services. I had used its core functions but again not getting what I want.

In one line – I am trying to get the logged in user details out side the magento installation folder.

Richard I need it running very desperately so please please please help me out.

Thanks for time for writing some code for me that run for the magento version.

Regards,
Vikas

Yes it does. Try running the code below and post the output here:
< ?php print_r(get_declared_classes()); ?>

Does any one knows if this still working in Magento 1.6.1.0? I’m trying this code and is not working:


require_once ($_SERVER['DOCUMENT_ROOT']."/store/app/Mage.php" );
umask(0);
Mage::app('store2');

Mage::getSingleton("core/session", array("name" => "frontend"));
$session = Mage::getSingleton("customer/session");
if(!$session->isLoggedIn()){
	//print_r($session);
	//--redirect stuff here
	exit;
}

It depends on how you setup your cookie domain of the store.

i noticed one thing

if you application / script has already started session before loggin into magento then magento application wont recognize your session when you redirected to the store.

Hi Richard,

I was wondering about how COMPARE PRODUCTS and RECENTLY VIEWED works when implementing on External site.

a) Are the related items stored in a SESSION or in the DATABASE?
b)How do I access and display what is currently in COMPARE PRODUCTS and RECENTLY VIEWED on external site?
c) And for COMPARE PRODUCTS I am getting different results when a user is logged in vs logged out…. Is this normal?

See my code below…

Richard thanks for this informative post. i am working on automating admin login from thirdparty application. everything on code level is working fine. $session->isLoggedin returning true but magento application isnt picking session info and redirects to login page. SID trick isnt working nor placing thirdparty application in magento directory to overcome domain issue.


            Mage::getSingleton('core/session', array('name' => 'adminhtml'));

            if (Mage::getSingleton('adminhtml/url')->useSecretKey()) {
              Mage::getSingleton('adminhtml/url')->renewSecretUrls();
            }

            $session = Mage::getSingleton('admin/session');

            $session->login ( $username, $password);

            $user = Mage::getModel('admin/user')->loadByUsername($username);
            $session->setUser($user);
            $session->setAcl(Mage::getResourceModel('admin/acl')->loadAcl());
            $session->start();
            Mage::dispatchEvent('admin_session_user_login_success',array('user'=>$user));

            if ($session->isLoggedIn()) {

                  $request = Mage::app()->getRequest();
                  $request->setRouteName('adminhtml')
                          ->setControllerName('adminhtml')
                          ->setActionName('index')
                          ->setModuleName('admin')
                          ->setPathInfo()
                          ->setDispatched(false);

                 $url = Mage::getSingleton('adminhtml/url')->getUrl();

                  header('Location: ' . $url);
            }
