Hello everyone,
It's been a looong time since I've done any web development and I'm just starting out with CCS. I'm running CCS 2.2.2.40 with Apache 2, MySQL, and PHP 4. The first couple areas that I need some assistance with are:
1. How do I place a label with the login id visible or a "Not Logged in" if they have not logged in yet?
2. I'm working with a database where users can enter some information. I have the forms working with one exception, I need to retrieve the user_id to insert into the row. What I'd like to do is have the text box invisible or where they can't change the data and have the form pull the user's id from the session information.
Thanks,
Don

Don,
I'm pretty new as well, but I think I can point you in the right direction on #1. In design mode, type the following where you want the user ID to appear:
{GreetUser}
Now add the following line somewhere in the _BeforeShow event of the desired page (I put mine in my site header so it's visible on every page):
$Tpl->SetVar("GreetUser","You are logged in as: " . CCGetUserID());
Obviously you can remove the text preceding the User ID if you don't want it.
Hope that helps a bit! I can't give you a complete answer to #2, but it will probably involve the CCGetUserID() function. . .

1. an adaption of VBAjedi code:
global $Tpl;
if (CCGetUserID() <> "")
{
$Tpl->SetVar("GreetUser","You are logged in as: " . CCGetUserID());
}
else $Tpl->SetVar("GreetUser","You are not logged in");
2. add a hidden box assign it to the field that will hold the user id in your table and do a before show event for that hidden field:
$gridname->hidden1->setvalue(CCGetUserID());

Ron,
Thanks the first example works fine, but I can't get the second one to work. It makes the entire page invisible, I guess I'm putting the code in the wrong place. I just can't figure out how.
Thanks,
Don

the hidden field you have to create in design view. Not in an event. it's just a textbox but hidden. You can ad one by choosing it from the froms tab in the toolbox. After you added the hidden field you do a before show event and iuse the given code.

In addition to it:
you can put CCGetUserID() right into Hidden field Default Value property
