Link to order history

Trying to add a link to the order history page from the login page once a user has logged in.

All the order and user data is stored correctly in the database but for some reason I cant pass the UserId from the login page to the order history page.

This is the link <a href="customer_order_history.php?UserID=">Order History</a>

When I test the recordset of the order history page with UserId's the correct results are returned.

You should probably not be passing the user id in the url and instead reference it from the Session variable stored when they log in.

That means updating the Recordset on the order history page to filter based on the session variable that you can find the name of from the user authentication server behavior on the login page.

Did this help? Tips are appreciated...

Thanks Ray

I changed the link to <a href="customer_order_history.php?UserID=<?php echo $row_WADAusers['UserID']; ?>">Order History</a>

and also by checking other forum posts the variable run time value should be $_SESSION['SecurityAssist_UserID'] and not $_SESSION['UserID'] on both the order history and order detail pages.

The Create an Order History documentation states that you use UserID but after checking the login page 'SecurityAssist_UserID' is the correct session variable.

Seems to work correctly now.
