custom_utils.php file is not able to get current user information

Hi Ricky,

Can you please show your code. How you are retrieving current user.

Where you create util  file. means location?

Hi Ricky,

How are you printing user id? There is a global current user variable.

You should be able to use it by adding following lines into your code;

global $current_user;
echo $current_user->id;

Yes Tevfik,

I have tried that, but as I said in my question, it is not going to that file with any userid, it prints blank. I tried to print whole $current_user array with no luck.

Hi Ricky,

Can you try including utils.php in the beginning of the file?

require_once('include/utils.php');

Hi Bhavesh Patel,

Here is the location of the file:

custom\Extension\application\Ext\Utils\test.php

and here is the code in that file:

<code>

function test(){
   static $accounts = null;
   if(!$accounts){
   $db = DBManagerFactory::getInstance();

   $country = 'CA';

   $query = "select first_name, last_name from users where status = 'Active' and acl_role_set_id = 'f3be6dc6-4d77-74bb-30e8-5889899b' order by first_name";
   $result = $db->query($query, false);

   $accounts = array();
   $accounts['NA'] = 'No Filter';

   while (($row = $db->fetchByAssoc($result)) != null) {
   $accounts[$row['first_name'].'_'.$row['last_name']] = $row['first_name']. ' ' .$row['last_name'] ;
  }
  }

   return $accounts;
}

</code>

In above code, I want to access logged in user's country. But below code shows no record, it prints blank in log file:

<code>

global $current_user;

$GLOBALS['log']->fatal(print_r($current_user,1));

</code>

In log file, it prints as below:

07/07/16 06:19:07 [4504][-none-][FATAL]

No still there is no luck.

Please see my other reply to bhavesh, where I mentioned code location as well as code itself.

I tried including utils.php, but no luck.

Hi Ricky,

Where are you using test function?

EDIT: Nevermind this question you already mentioned it in your first post. You are using it in language file.

That's correct.

Here is the location for language file:

custom\Extension\application\Ext\Language\en_us.report_type.php

and below is the code inside:

$app_list_strings['business_advisor_report_dom']= test();

Hi Ricky,

I've checked this. Well actually it is passing through multiple times. First couple ones yes exactly what you say is happening $current_user is empty but in the last one you can the current_user.

So, let's change your code in en_us.report_type.php;

global $current_user;
if(isset($current_user)){
  $app_list_strings['business_advisor_report_dom']= test();
  $GLOBALS['log']->fatal(print_r($current_user,1));
}

This should be okay to go.

But as i understand you are trying to populate a dropdown. I would prefer to build this from Sidecar using REST End points.

Hope this helps.

Tevfik Tümer that worked perfectly fine and the way I wanted.

Now the only problem I'm facing is sugar caching result of the data and it won't change every time user log in. If I delete cache directory it work fine for 1st login and then it repeat the same result.

Any idea how to disable cache on that page?
