XF 2.0 How to check login status outside xenforo

[ZecaR]

I'm here after 2 hours of searching. All I found were older versions solutions

here is my code so far

<?php
    
$dir = __DIR__;
require($dir . '/src/XF.php');

XF::start($dir);
$app = XF::setupApp('XF\Pub\App');
echo "<pre>";
var_dump($app->session());

?>

The session contains the userId, but it's protected. Don't know what to do next. Tried searching through xf code but it's too much

You could try this:

$app->getVisitorFromSession($app->session())

You could try this:

$app->getVisitorFromSession($app->session())

that method is protected

that method is protected

Oop. My apologies, have you tried just calling

\XF::visitor()

and then checking the user_id?

it's 0
also, all properties ar protected there as well

If you want to access the data from things like the session and what it sets up, you need to call the start() method on the app after setting it up. The visitor should then be setup for you.

ok, the XF::visitor() is set now that I called $app->start(). But all the properties are protected. What do I do now ?

It just returns a user entity object, so you just access them directly as public attributes.

I was looking through the var_dump and saw that they were all protected. But it works with $user->user_id;

Thank you!

Can you please share your code as I am stuck, too.

All I want is to get the username of the xenforo user who is accessing my php script. Any examples or ideas? Thank you!

Late to the party, but Google brought me here. This is what you need. Demonstrating starting the XF app, getting the visitor object, checking user_id, secondary groups, and username

<?php

#    print_r($_COOKIE);

    $fileDir = '../';  # relative path from this script to the Xenforo root
    require($fileDir . '/src/XF.php');
    XF::start($fileDir);
    $app = XF::setupApp('XF\Pub\App');
    $app->start();
    print_r (XF::visitor());  # dumps entire object
    print("<br>");
    $user=XF::visitor();
    print ($user->user_id."<br>"); # = 1 (0 if nobody logged in)

    if (in_array(18,$user->secondary_group_ids))
        print ("Group 18<br>");

    print($user->username."<br>"); # = "Mick West"

    exit(0);
