How to get the logged in user info

1

how can i get the logged in user login in all the pages?
i tried setting a session but the session expire in 30 min (server settings)

Did you try change to session time

i think setting a cookie session is better option.
how can i set cookie session on server actions? i can set sessions but there is no option to set cookies

4

so adding security provider then getting the identity output give me the login name

Please check the following tutorial: https://github.com/Wappler/docs/wiki/Getting-Logged-User-Details
Also in security provider options you can set the cookie lifetime.

Just setup the cookie lifetime in security provider options … nothing else is required!

10

sessions @Teodor not cookies
like this one $_SESSION['var']

11

What are you trying to achieve exactly?

i was redoing what the security provider was doing for me.from the start :slightly_smiling_face:
so im good now all is working great.

You can access the session created after log in doing the following:
The session name is the security provider step name+Id.
For example if your security provider step name is “loggedUser” then the session name is “loggedUserId”.

I don t understand where to look for the providerstep + id. I always user Identity.

15

I am not sure I understand your post, also I am not sure you understand what I explained exactly. Can you please clarify what do you mean?

16

I do not understand what you refer here.

When the user logs in, the security provider creates a session variable which value is the logged user identity. If you, for some strange reason, need to access it, it can be accessed like:

The session name is the security provider step name+Id.
For example if your security provider step name is “loggedUser” then the session name is “loggedUserId”.

If you don't know what I am referring to, then maybe you just don't need to use this (as most of the users here don't really need this session).

For sure I will not use. I m too basic! Thank you very much I was supposig was another method alternative to using the Identity variabile.

There are some users, which need this session in external PHP scripts, that’s why I provided this information.
When using the security provider with server/app connect you just won’t need this :slight_smile:

Accessing the ID of the current user is now documented here.
