signup with facebook - adding session value

Hey Karls, 

I just want to confirm I understand what you're trying to achieve. So you want the facebook login popup to appear in the language the user has selected to view your site in based on a session variable?

Cheers,

Greg

Hey Karls, 

I understand now, so you're trying to hook into the CMSB language system so you can send sign up emails in the correct language after a user signs up via Facebook. 

The language setting to use is stored in the following global:

  $GLOBALS['SETTINGS']['language'] = 'FR';


The above setting would send the sign up template USER-SIGNUP-FR.

So you could get the appropriate template sent after a facebook sign up using the following code on line 260 of facebookLogin.php:

  $userNum   = mysql_insert(accountsTable(), $columnsToValues, true );
  $localUser = mysql_get(accountsTable(), $userNum );

  // send signup email
  global $GLOBALS;

  $GLOBALS['SETTINGS']['language'] = strtoupper(@$_SESSION['language']);

  list($mailErrors, $fromEmail) = wsm_sendSignupEmail($localUser['num'], $passwordText);
  if ($mailErrors) { die("Mail Error: $mailErrors"); }

Thanks,

Greg

Hi Greg,

Thanks again for your reply.

The Session variable cannot pass in this way to the facebook login add-on, thats way i'am tried with

$GLOBALS['WEBSITE_LANGUAGE_FBMAIL'] = strtoupper(@$_SESSION['language']);

from the login.php/signup.php

Is there any other ways to pass my session variable to the add-on from the front-page (where i use multi-language)?

Hey Karls, 

I've done some local testing, and it was able to pass the session variable. A couple of things that could stop the variable passing are:

• The session_start() function is not added before your viewer functions are loaded.
• The $_SESSION global is not declared in wsm_sendSignupEmail function : 

  // list($mailErrors, $fromEmail) = wsm_sendSignupEmail($userNum, $passwordText);
// if ($mailErrors) { alert("Mail Error: $mailErrors"); }
function wsm_sendSignupEmail($userNum, $passwordText) {

  global $_SESSION, $GLOBALS;

  $GLOBALS['SETTINGS']['language'] = strtoupper(@$_SESSION['language']);



If you can't get the session variable to work you can also use the CMSB get/set/delete cookie functions instead of the session to store variables for users.

Cheers,
