Question

Suggestions on how to get bbpress / wordpress username/userid from cookie

Answer 1

+1 A:

Have you tried just printing out the contents of $_COOKIE? Mine contains the following:

Array
(
    [wordpress_test_cookie] => WP Cookie check
    [wordpress_logged_in_##########] => ceejayoz|#####|##########]
)

Should be simple for you to parse.

foreach($_COOKIE as $key => $value) {
  if(preg_match('@^wordpress_logged_in_@', $key) {
    $cookie = explode('|', $_COOKIE[$key]);
    $username = $cookie[0];
  }
}

where does the first variable after wordpress_ come from?

Jayrox 2009-02-28 03:01:39

Not sure, I'd say create a new user and see if it's different. It may be a per-install hash. If not, step through $_COOKIE with a foreach() loop and look for wordpress_logged_in_*.

thats what i was thinking

Jayrox 2009-02-28 03:12:43

Added code for doing that.

Thanks, I'll write up a quick function to sanitize the $username from the $cookie[0], then an SQL statement to get the $user_id from the wp_users table.

I was reading all over the web about how the username was double hashed in the cookie. i should have just dumped it in the first place and saw what i had to play with.
