CiviCRM Community Forums (archive)

On a Drupal 6 CiviCRM 3.3.6 site, I have a custom module which logs in a user under certain circumstances. His landing page is civicrm but the CiviCRM menu is empty.

The reason is that in CRM/Core/Smarty.php we have this code:
        if ( !CRM_Core_Config::isUpgradeMode() && $buildNavigation ) {
            require_once 'CRM/Core/BAO/Navigation.php';
            $contactID = $session->get('userID');
            if ( $contactID ) {
                $navigation =& CRM_Core_BAO_Navigation::createNavigation( $contactID );
                $this->assign('navigation', $navigation );
            }
        }

but $session->get('userID') returns nothing so no navigation is built. Here is my code:

      global $user;
      $user = user_load(array('uid' => $uid));
      civicrm_initialize(TRUE);
      session_start( ); 
and I have tried several variations, but nothing seems to work.

Any ideas?

Fantastic. That did it:

      module_invoke('civicrm','user','login',$edit,$user);
Thank you.
