Adding Dynamic Text

I've already done Create Security Pages with WASA and it was successfully completed.

When I test to add a Dynamic Text to Update.php the values are correctly match to the

account of the user.


I want to add a Dynamic Text to my other PHP filename those are ( home.php and

profile.php ) to be able to view the Information About the user. But I don't have any idea to

do that. Can you please help. Thanks ...

I'm assuming this is information specific to the user who is logged in, such as it will display their name on the home page?

If so, create a recordset on the page from the users table and use the session variable as the filter. You may want to take a look at the recordset on the update page to see how it's set up, you may be able to use the exact same configuration.

Once the recordset is created, drag recordset element from the bindings panel to where you want it to be planed on the page and you should be good to go.

Lon,

Thanks for your reply,

I tried your suggestion. But still no luck. After I drag the binded recordset element to my page and testing it from my local server. When I login my account and view the my home.php the Dynamic Text doesn't appear.

Any ideas ? Thanks again Lon, I really appreciate your kindness.

in stead of creating a recordset to lookup the information, edit the Security Assist authenticate user behavior on the login page.

On the third page of the security Authenticate user behavior, you can select columns fr4om your user table to store in session variables. Click the plus button and select any columns you would like to store.

on the page you wish to show the information, use the bindings from the session collection.

Thanks Jason,

It's look like a charm, .. Cheers ..

Another Questions are:

1. ) How about the image retrieval ? I already done uploaded it to my database. Now I want to display my uploaded image to my home.php. To be a primary picture of my user .

2. ) When I changed my User Information in my userupdate.php, why My Dynamic Text doesn't Change when I go to the home.php. I should log-out first and login again to view for some changes information. ? Any help again ?

Thanks again for the Dynamic Text.

1) So in the users table is a column that holds the file name of the profile image?

again on the login page, edit the authenticate user behavior, on the third step of the wizard, click the plus button and select the profile iamge column to have the file name stored in a session.

then add an image place holder to the home page, and set the source to the path to the image folder and use the session variable value:

<img src="image/path/<?php echo($_SESSION['profileImgSessionName']" />

where profileImgSessionName is the name of the session created by the authenticate user behavior.


2) Updating the name in the database does not change the session value. you would need to add code on the update page to set the session to the new value posted by the update form.

add the following code at line 1 to reset the session:

<?php

if($_SERVER['REQUEST_METHOD'] == "POST") {

  if(isset($_SESSION['userName']) && isset($_POST['userName']) && $_SESSION['userName'] != $_POST['userName']) $_SESSION['userName'] = $_POST['userName'];

}

?>

this is assuming the name of the session is "userName" and the name of the form element is "userNmae" you will need to adjust the code accordingly if your session or form element use different names.

Hi Jason,

Thank You very much. Everything is on the right track.

Best,
