CiviCRM Community Forums (archive)

Hi gang,

So I have a live site and two sites on my local machine.

At civisprint I upgraded one of them (let's call it JohnFF2) to 4.4.

Then, on the other (let's call it JohnFF1), running 4.2 I experienced the following problem:

I'm querying the session to find my ID, then using that to get any relevant memberships. The function I'm using is:
 
$session = &CRM_Core_Session::singleton();
$contactID = $session->get('userID');

However, $session doesn't have a userID field, unless I masquerade as a different user, whereupon it mysteriously all works!

Any ideas?

1) Could doing the upgrade have broken some of my other settings somehow? (I doubt it, but worth asking).
2) How should I be getting my userID if not by this way?
3) Why is it working on the masquerade, and not on the not masquerade?

Thanks,

Makes sense...

And that would bust up user IDs in sessions? I'll try a refresh and see what happens.

(By the way, saw our extensions count on the site - cool bro!)
