upload to specific user folder - CHot

I want to upload to a directory # that corresponds to the id in my user table. We are doing this on a couple other sites, but I obviously did not make very good notes. I have attached the update, insert and some KFM files.

the configuration.php file is the file that sets the upload directory.

you have the following code that is using the $_SESSION['userid']; variable:

if (isset($_SESSION['userid'])) {

    $kfm_userfiles_address .= "/".$_SESSION['userid'];

forst, double check that userid is the correct session name to be using. Open the login page, double click the Authenticate user server behavior and go to the third page to check the name of the id session that is created.

next, try changing the code in the configuration.php page to:

@session_start();

if (isset($_SESSION['userid'])) {

    $kfm_userfiles_address .= "/".$_SESSION['userid'];

I tried that and it was unsuccessful, but I have a complication. We are working on a site that has been established for over 15 years and has a member directory, currently that is the main users table. Then I added powercms not thinking that now I have 2 user tables and 2 log in pages AND the initial log in page has been modified with some hand coding. I am wondering what the best way to proceed is. Do I keep to log in and somehow another helper rules file or what? I want to the history feature to work in the CMS, I want to use the rules of if the user is logged into directory, if the user has access level 10 in the directory (or I guess we could change this to admin in PowerCMS), and if the user id matches the customerid in the update record. Thank you in advance.

your login script is set to create a session named directoryid, it does not create a userid session, so you will need to edit the code to use the directoryid session instead.


to add additional users to the power CMS system, it checks to make sure that the UserGroupID session variable is equal to 1



you would need to add a UserGroup column to your users table. for users that should access the CMS admin panel, set that column to 1 for users that should not, set it to 0

and edit the login behavior to set the UserGroupID session variable using the UserGroup column.

I am confused. Am I suppose to keep 2 log in pages? 1 for CMS and 1 for the features the public that was existing? Or do I add a column to my tbl_directorylistings (1) which is the original users table and add a column UserGroup to that table? If so, how would the powerCMS know to check that table - because of the log in being edited (2)?

1. you would need to add a UserGroup column to your users table. for users that should access the CMS admin panel, set that column to 1 for users that should not, set it to 0

2. and edit the login behavior to set the UserGroupID session variable using the UserGroup column.

Is the configuration file the file that needs to be changed from userid to directoryid? Example
@session_start();
if (isset($_SESSION['directoryid'])) {
$kfm_userfiles_address .= "/".$_SESSION['directoryid'];

Thank You!

1) I guess i'm not clear what you are trying to accomplish. I sounded like you wanted to grant users loging in using the standard login page access to the cms admin panel?

you could do that using the steps I outlined, you would still need to use the regular CMS login page to grant access to the super admin though.

2) yes, that is the code that needs to be changed.

I want to allow our general members to be able to log in and edit the site AND also web admins to log in to use the CMS. Whatever method is the easiest and most sensible.
If the CMS admin_cms/user_login and Accounts/login can both be used on the same site and not conflict that is great, but I am unclear about that. I assume if we do it that way then there is no need to modify the tbl_directorylistings table with the column UserGroup. I think maybe I just need help with the Security Assist helper rules files. Basically I just need to allow the webadmin log in access to work and all the show if rules and log in permissions to work related to the accounts/login. I hope this makes sense. Thanks,

if you want general users to be able to login and access the CMS admin, then you need to edit the users table to have the UserGroupID column and modify the login page to set the UserGroupID session variable. it is the UserGroupID session variable that is used to allow or deny access to the cms admin.

Now the file manager just sits and nothing happens, here is what I have in the config file:
$use_kfm_security = false;
$kfm_userfiles_address = '../../userfiles';
@session_start();
if (isset($_SESSION['directoryid'])) {
$kfm_userfiles_address .= "/".$_SESSION['directoryid'];
if (!file_exists($kfm_userfiles_address)) {
mkdir($kfm_userfiles_address);
chmod($kfm_userfiles_address,0777);
}
}
if (isset($_SESSION['useOverrideRoot'])) {
$kfm_userfiles_address = abs2rel($_SESSION['useOverrideRoot'],dirname(__FILE__));
}
