What version of 68 Classifieds are you running?

V4.1.8 Developer

What template are you using?

Default Template

Please describe in detail the issue you are having:

I am looking for a way that I can pull out and use the variable "id" from the class_users table on other parts of my site. I am currently using the 68 classifieds login system on all of my pages of my website without any problem as you can see at FindRetrievers.com - Online Retriever Community . I know I can pull the username variable once logged in by using $Username = $_SESSION['username']; but if I try something like $UserID = $_SESSION['userid']; I get nothing at all.

I am not a programmer AT ALL and need any guidance that you could give me. Basically I am needing this id to insert as a foreign key into another table. Please let me know where I need to clarify more as I am sure some of this sounds very odd and confusing.

You need to be a bit more specific as to the user id you are looking for.

The global variable $_SESSION is an array that holds values for the currently logged in user. In other words If I visit A 68C site it will hold MY user id if I am logged in. If I am not logged in, then the system has no idea who I am and in turn what mu user ID is.

So the question is are you tring to get the user ID of the person visiting your site or of the owner of an ad the visitor may be viewing?

Hi Larry,

Thanks so much for the quick response. I am trying to get the id for the person logged into the classifieds section of my website. I want to use this id of the person logged in as a foreign key for another table which will basically log when they update some information in another section of my website. Right now I am able to use the 68 classifieds login throughout my site at FindRetrievers.com - Online Retriever Community as you can see. I was using 4.0.9 I think and all worked fine but when I upgraded to 4.1.8 this feature no longer worked as it seemed like the userid was no longer stored in a session. I apologize if I sound like I don't fully understand what I am talking about. I am learning by trying stuff myself and by reading and asking questions so I am a bit new to all of this in general. Thanks so much!

- Michael
