I have updated & migrated the site of my customer to Joomla 3.4.1. Since the new site uses a pop-up Login form (triggered by a menu entry) we needed a module to display the current login status.
I'v been browsing for some free modules but haven't found anything useful I decided to develop my own module.
I found a module called "Flexi Custom Code" which can be used to embed php code and used the CB FAQs to write following code:
Code:
<?php
global $_CB_framework;
$cbUser =& CBuser::getInstance( $_CB_framework->myId());
if ( ! $cbUser )
$cbUser =& CBuser::getInstance( null );
$userData =& $cbUser->getUserData();
$userName = $userData->username;
if ($userName)
{
echo "You are logged in as " . $userName;
}
else
{
echo "You are currently not logged in.";
}
?>
Generally it works pretty well but during the development I noticed that this module might have some caching issues.
In the beginning the information wos only correct when I called the "CB profile information" page or the "kunena forum". The reason for that could be that those pages we using some CB calls/functions.
Finally I cleaned now the browser and joomla caches and now it seems to work for me.
The problem I have that it seems not to work for all users.
Some users get not the correct login information output if they ope different pages on the site, For example I use jDownloads for providing files to download. SOme users report that the login status changes to "not logged in" if they go to a download category.
It'somehow difficult to reproduce this error since it works for me and about 90% of all users.
I even disabled the caching in the "Flexi Custom Code" module where my code resides.
Now my question:
Does my code have any potential bugs or is there something I could improve?
My solution is of course free to use if anybody finds it useful.
