Hi,

I'm using easysocial with joomla! 3 and I have made a small php page incrusted on a page of my website with IFrame. Is it a way to get the users informations on an external php page? If yes, how can I do this?
Hello Durst,

If you are getting the "Unauthorized Access" message, this is most likely because you are including our files via a non Joomla pages. You cannot unfortunately do this because in every file in the extension, we need to add codes like this on all files,



defined( '_JEXEC' ) or die( 'Unauthorized Access' );


In other words, if it doesn't route through Joomla, there is no way for you to open this file via the web or any other non Joomla pages. Further to that, it is a requirements set by Joomla Extensions Directory that all extension files (php) to have such codes otherwise you cannot submit your extension on JED.

Hello Durst,

You can use this code to load the user:


$user = FD::user('59'); //load the user with ID 59


Hope this helps.

Hello, thank you for your answer,

I've allready try to use this code but it return this message: Fatal error: Class 'FD' not found. It work only when I use it in a Joomla article, here I'm working on a file that is located on the same server but not directly in my Joomla folder.

Regards,

Chuck

Hello Durst,

You will need to include EasySocial's library first of course Depending on the path to your Joomla site,



require_once(JPATH_ROOT . '/administrator/components/com_easysocial/includes/foundry.php');

Hello,
I've try to include the library but now it tells me " failed to open stream: No such file or directory "...
I used the whole path from my server.

Hi,

I only use it on a test page looking like that:
require_once(JPATH_ROOT . '/administrator/components/com_easysocial/includes/foundry.php');

$user = FD::user('4'); 

echo $user;


I can not acces to the code I used in the custom module for the moment. I'll send it in a few hours

It finally works! But now I have this message 'Unauthorized Access'. What should I do to get the rights to access to this file?

Hello Durst,

is it possible attach the whole file to us so that we can know which user property you want to show in your module?

There is no more content in this page for the moment. I've replace "JPATH_ROOT" by the full path. You can see it on the link below. For the custom module (wich works perfectly), I've join the file (it's just a menu).
