User login and registration external from XTcommerce

[Slubbock]

Hi there guys,

I have a client that requires their ecommerce shop to use XTcommerce (A later variant of OScommerce). The issue is they want a MAIN website allowing for user registration and member based games etc, but they also want this integrated into the shop accounts. I'm just wondering if there is anyone thats had experience with this before and can give me a hand? The major issue is getting the CustomerID session from the website, to link in and function with the Shop.

XTcommerce seems to be using a variant of smarty templates and thus, has many "xtcommerce" specific includes and variables.

Regards,

Steve.

I was able to build a fairly complex sign up system allowing users to sign up external from the shop, and use the details to log into the shop AND website.

My only issue now is, how would I use the shops sesssion on the website login, so the shop and webpage link seamlessly without the user having to log in twice.

If it helps I can provide how the shop handles login:

if (isset ($_SESSION['customer_id'])) {
	xtc_redirect(xtc_href_link(FILENAME_ACCOUNT, '', 'SSL'));
}
// create smarty elements
$smarty = new Smarty;
// include boxes
require (DIR_FS_CATALOG.'templates/'.CURRENT_TEMPLATE.'/source/boxes.php');

// include needed functions
require_once (DIR_FS_INC.'xtc_validate_password.inc.php');
require_once (DIR_FS_INC.'xtc_array_to_string.inc.php');
require_once (DIR_FS_INC.'xtc_write_user_info.inc.php');
// redirect the customer to a friendly cookie-must-be-enabled page if cookies are disabled (or the session has not started)
if ($session_started == false) {
	xtc_redirect(xtc_href_link(FILENAME_COOKIE_USAGE));
}

if (isset ($_GET['action']) && ($_GET['action'] == 'process')) {
	$email_address = xtc_db_prepare_input($_POST['email_address']);
	$password = xtc_db_prepare_input($_POST['password']);

// Check if email exists
$check_customer_query = xtc_db_query("select customers_id, customers_vat_id, customers_firstname,customers_lastname, customers_gender, customers_password, customers_email_address, customers_default_address_id from ".TABLE_CUSTOMERS." where customers_email_address = '".xtc_db_input($email_address)."' and account_type = '0'");
if (!xtc_db_num_rows($check_customer_query)) {
	$_GET['login'] = 'fail';
	$info_message = TEXT_NO_EMAIL_ADDRESS_FOUND;
} else {
	$check_customer = xtc_db_fetch_array($check_customer_query);
	// Check that password is good
	if (!xtc_validate_password($password, $check_customer['customers_password'])) {
		$_GET['login'] = 'fail';
		$info_message = TEXT_LOGIN_ERROR;
	} else {
		if (SESSION_RECREATE == 'True') {
			xtc_session_recreate();
		}

		$check_country_query = xtc_db_query("select entry_country_id, entry_zone_id from ".TABLE_ADDRESS_BOOK." where customers_id = '".(int) $check_customer['customers_id']."' and address_book_id = '".$check_customer['customers_default_address_id']."'");
		$check_country = xtc_db_fetch_array($check_country_query);

		$_SESSION['customer_gender'] = $check_customer['customers_gender'];
		$_SESSION['customer_first_name'] = $check_customer['customers_firstname'];
		$_SESSION['customer_last_name'] = $check_customer['customers_lastname'];
		$_SESSION['customer_id'] = $check_customer['customers_id'];
		$_SESSION['customer_vat_id'] = $check_customer['customers_vat_id'];
		$_SESSION['customer_default_address_id'] = $check_customer['customers_default_address_id'];
		$_SESSION['customer_country_id'] = $check_country['entry_country_id'];
		$_SESSION['customer_zone_id'] = $check_country['entry_zone_id'];

		$date_now = date('Ymd');

		xtc_db_query("update ".TABLE_CUSTOMERS_INFO." SET customers_info_date_of_last_logon = now(), customers_info_number_of_logons = customers_info_number_of_logons+1 WHERE customers_info_id = '".(int) $_SESSION['customer_id']."'");
		xtc_write_user_info((int) $_SESSION['customer_id']);
		// restore cart contents
		$_SESSION['cart']->restore_contents();

		if (is_object($econda)) $econda->_loginUser();

		if ($_SESSION['cart']->count_contents() > 0) {
			xtc_redirect(xtc_href_link(FILENAME_SHOPPING_CART, '', 'SSL'));
		} else {
			xtc_redirect(xtc_href_link(FILENAME_DEFAULT));
		}

	}
