I had to modify the function to get the $userid set based on session or cookie.

Code: Select all

function get_user_id() 
   {
      $userid = NULL;
      
      if (!empty($_SESSION['memberId']))
      {
         $userid = $_SESSION['memberId'];
                }
      
      if (!empty($_COOKIE['memberId']))
      {
         $userid = preg_replace('#[^0-9]#','',$_COOKIE['memberId']);
      }
      
      return $userid;
   }

If that is not the problem, perhaps the table is not set correctly to pull the userid?

Another thing I did was in the init.php file, I included my sites typical functions used for logging in and setting sessions/cookies. I then started the custom sec_session_start() function I built before setting the $userid:

Code: Select all

include 'path-to/your-functions-file.php';
sec_session_start();
$userid    = get_user_id();

The session would not be set otherwise and therefore the userid would be null.

I hope that makes sense. I'm still learning this system. :)

Cheers!
