Any help is appreciated.

Thanks you.

It depends upon what data?

You can use the debug functionality in smarty to see what variables are available to that template file. If you wish to restrict that information to members only (i.e. those which are logged in), you would display them in a simple test. Something like


{if $smarty.session.username<>'' || $smarty.cookies.username<>""}

The variables you wish to display

{/if}

If the variables do not exist you will need to engage in core file changes.

Thanks David for your quick reply.

I want the address of logged in user.

I enabled {debug}

Found the following variables relevant to address:
{$address} - Listing user address that I do not want.
{$b_address} - Billing address of the listing user that I do not want.
{$session} - Long string
{$cookie} - Long string

I cannot find any variable related to logged in user.

Can you please give me some idea on how to access logged in user data.

So let me understand. If I am logged in as Seymour-James you want my physical address to appear on my adverts or on all adverts?

Are you actually trying to prefill a contact form by any chance?

[seymourjames +]

If you want the address of the person logged in then you will need to make a core file change to viewlisting.php or make a plugin which you can call from within viewlisting.tpl. The code you will need is basically in useraccountmodify.php .


I will look at what needs to be done

Basically, my requirement is very simple.

Firstly, I answer your questions.

Q: If I am logged in as Seymour-James you want my physical address to appear on my adverts or on all adverts?
A: No.

Q: Are you actually trying to prefill a contact form by any chance?
A: No.

Now, I tell you what I refer as address of logged in user.
Login > My Account > Modify User Account
User Registration (useraccountmodify.tpl) page appear.
Fields such as First Name, Last Name, Email Address, Address are displayed.
I am referring to the field Address above.

Let us say you (Seymour-James) logged in.
Click My Account
Click Modify User Account
User Registration (useraccountmodify.tpl) page appar.
Key in "some text" in Address field.
Click Submit.

You select a listing and and go to View Listing (viewlisting.tpl) page.
Let us say this listing is added by the user Peter.
At this point of time, I want to access the Address (value = "some text") of logged in user Seymour-James.
Not the Address of the listing user Peter.

My question: How to get the value of the field Address of logged in user in viewlisting.tpl?

Thanks.

Yes I understood. It is not so simple. I am looking at it now.

Try this in viewlisting.php at line 21 - just after the closing brace and before $class_tpl->assign...


if (!empty($_SESSION['uid']))
{
$sql = "SELECT firstname, lastname, username, address, lastname, address, city, state, zip, country FROM ".PREFIX."users WHERE id=".(int)$_SESSION['uid'];
$result = $db->query($sql);
if ($result->size() > 0)
{
$user_data = $result->fetch();
$class_tpl->assign('logged_user', $user_data);
$class_tpl->assign('useraddress', $user_data[address]);
// add in more queires to pass if you wish
}
}


Then in your viewlisting.tpl file

{if $smarty.session.username<>'' || $smarty.cookies.username<>""}

{$useraddress}
// add in more if you wish

{/if}

Thank you for leading me to the solution that I already was using in showlisting2.tpl, but I never realized until you drag me to the point with your nice sample code and idea that opens my eyes and mind to understand how to solve my problem.

showlisting2.tpl is calling a plugin to get listing user's name and phone.
I just changed the plugin to add address field.

Inserted the following code in viewlisting.tpl

{if $smarty.session.uid > 0}
{get_user_field userid=$smarty.session.uid}
{elseif $smarty.cookies.uid > 0}
{get_user_field userid=$smarty.cookies.uid}
{else}
{$u_address = ''}
{/if}
{$u_address}

It simply works. It is really fantastic.

Seymour-James, I really want to thank you for your time and effort to understand my problem and provide a solution.

Now, my problem solved.

But, I have couple of small questions to you:

1. I am not defining the variable $u_address in viewlisting.tpl, but smarty is not giving error at {else} {$u_address = ''} {/if}. Why?

2. You mentioned '' (2 single quotes) and "" (2 double quotes) in {if $smarty.session.username<>'' || $smarty.cookies.username<>""}. How to know when to use '' (2 single quotes) and "" (2 double quotes)?

Thanks.

You can't generally test the output value of the plugin in the template file (do the test inside of the plugin). Same issue with the get extra fields plugin (see various other forum posts about that). I would just use the code that has been given. It works.

No real issues or rule if you use double or single quotes. Just how it was coded in the original default template.
