[GalaticNetwork]

Hello im new to here and i recently installed sfm, and im trying to work out how i can pull the member info like name amount of posts ect. Can someone help me please?

Thanks

$user_info // ssi.php functions

elaborate more on what youa re doing and include your smf version.

[GalaticNetwork]

Sorry, Im running 1.1.13 i've already intergrated

Code Select Expand

<?php ssi_recentPosts($num_recent = 4); ?> and also

Code Select Expand

<?php
if ($context['user']['is_guest'])
{
ssi_login();
}
else
{
ssi_welcome();
ssi_logout();
}
?> to my website, what i'm trying to do is make a member.php page, where if you are logged in, it will bring up all the user's info.

Thanks

[Matthew K.]

How would that be different from ?action=profile or ?action=profile;u=id?

[GalaticNetwork]

My php understanding is pretty basic, well where

Code Select Expand

ssi_welcome(); is there some what way of making it give me more info on that user? And maybe where to find a good php book so i can start learning more lol

Here is a photo

Pretty much what i want to do is get all that info and put it on my website without the theme just the info.

Thanks

[Matthew K.]

You can definitely accomplish that with PHP, but you'll need to know some...I'd check out two functions. loadMemberData and loadMemberContext. If I understand what you're trying to do, correctly, they would be very valuable functions to you.

For learning PHP, have you checked out the PHP Manual and w3schools?

[GalaticNetwork]

I'd check out two functions. loadMemberData and loadMemberContext.

I've read about those functions i just need to learn to insert it so the theme doesn't appear on the page. No i havn't i will give them a google. Thanks

[Matthew K.]

W3Schools - Learn PHP
PHP Manual

[GalaticNetwork]

Thank you i will check it out 

[Matthew K.]

Not a problem, if you have any questions, feel free to ask...

You can even use just SMF's SSI functions to accomplish this.
ssi_welcome() - can return the $context['user'] array.
ssi_queryMembers() - will simply fetch member data which is exactly the same method as Labradoodle-360 posted above however its done for you. You can use ssi_fetchMember() to fetch a specific/group of member ids to retrieve data for without having to specify the queries yourself.

[Matthew K.]

Thanks for sharing that stuff. I'm really no expert on what is in SSI.php, although I probably should learn what's inside it sometime.

No prob.

[Matthew K.]

I think the primary reason I've never learned it is because I have not one forum I run. I am just at SMF to help out with support, have fun, and develop mods for people.

Ahhh thanks alot i will intergrate that and give it a go. 

[Matthew K.]

Let us know how it goes

[Arantor]

Um. Just loading SSI.php will load $context['user'], not that there's a great deal in it. ssi_welcome() literally just displays a welcome message, nothing more.

What you actually want to do is, after SSI.php is loaded:

Code Select Expand

global $context, $memberContext;
if ($context['user']['is_logged'])
{
  $return = loadMemberData($context['user']['id'], false, 'profile');
  if (!empty($return))
    loadMemberContext($context['user']['id']);
}


Then look to see if $memberContext[$context['user']['id']] exists and if it does, you have all the information you could want on your user.

Whats wrong with just loading member data with the other functions I listed..?

[GalaticNetwork]

Ok this is what i've done so far on a file called Test.php   

Code Select Expand

<?php
require_once('forum/SSI.php');
$_SESSION['login_url'] = 'http://galaticnetwork.co.uk' . $_SERVER['PHP_SELF'];
$_SESSION['logout_url'] = 'http://galaticnetwork.co.uk' . $_SERVER['PHP_SELF'];
global $context, $memberContext;
if ($context['user']['is_logged'])
{
  $return = loadMemberData($context['user']['id'], false, 'profile');
  if (!empty($return))
    loadMemberContext($context['user']['id']);
}
?>
Im stuck at this bit,

Code Select Expand

<?php
if ($context['user']['is_guest'])
{
ssi_login();
}
else
{
ssi_welcome();
ssi_logout();
}
?> do i need to add $memberContext[$context['user']['id']] Or ssi_fetchMember() sorry for being a noob

[Arantor]

Well, you could construct the parameters necessary, only for ssi_queryMembers to do some stuff around deciding whether the member is a valid member or not, only for it to call loadMemberData and loadMemberContext, when you could save all the time and hassle because you know it's a genuine member (since they're logged in) and get it directly.

do i need to add $memberContext[$context['user']['id']] Or ssi_fetchMember() sorry for being a noob

Neither of those will magically just print out all the information you want, but both of them in their own way *get* the data. Since I don't know the HTML you plan to use to print it out, I can't help you with the display part - but if you use the code I posted, $memberContext[$context['user']['id']] has loads of stuff in it you can use to display. You tell me what it is you want to display and how it should look (ideally with the HTML code you wanted to use) and I'll put the PHP around it to make it work.

The html code is

[Arantor]

You've just given a blank space inside table to dump the content into. If that's truly what you want, fine, but it'll be a mess.

[GalaticNetwork]

Sorry i coppied the table code out of dreamweaver, I can always adjust the html in dreamweaver. Thanks

[Arantor]

Except that I'm putting in PHP in the middle of HTML, which can't so easily be modified...

Haha true sorry im not exactly helpful am i. If it's easier for you, you can put it in a html script easy for you and i'll check it out when i wake up as it's late now. Thank you for helping me i will check the code when im up

Thankss

[Arantor]

But it's still going to be PHP, strictly speaking it's going to be PHP producing HTML, and a single apostrophe out of place will break it. That's why I wanted the full code you wanted to use, like a mock-up, before writing a single line of code for it.

[GalaticNetwork]

Ok heres the full script of the html im useing. I've named it test.php but if it works will name it member.php.

or if you like i can send you the test.php   Thanks

[Arantor]

That still doesn't answer what it is I wanted to know.

What I would like you to do is provide a mock-up of the HTML that should be used. You've set aside some space for the profile information but I don't know if it should be a paragraph or a long list or a two column table like the profile page is, or how that should be set up. So if you make a mock up of how the information should look with some dummy values, I can then modify it to put the PHP inside it.

Thanks it worked, but there are a few issues

Postion doesn't show and neither does real name.

So i changed the Real Name to show Username

But not sure why Postion isn't working just shows blank

Thanks

Let me guess, you're using 2.0 now? There were a few changes to the underlying code between 1.1 and 2.0...

As for position, I screwed up as you can see it uses $member['realName'] when it should be $member['group'] if I remember rightly.

No still running 1.1.13 i have 2.0 setup but its in a private place for testing.

I will update the code and see if it works

Thanks

[GalaticNetwork]

Yup that seemed to fix the Postion problem. Everything is working how i wanted it

Thank you very much i will close this as resolved
