Well, going to the question:
I'm trying get the ID of the current Employee logged. All method type, returned me a void sentence.
Example:
$_POST['id_employee']
$cookie->id_employee
and many others bad choices of codes.
Please, I'm needing help!

$cookie->id_employee

Should worked, if I remember good, maybe you forget to make it global in the method?

[MahmutGulerce]

hi;
could you try

print_r($cookie);

Other hand you must set cookie to global in class functions declarations
Like

function SampleFunction  ($arg) {
  global $cookie;
// Now you can use cookie //
  return (int)$cookie->id_employee;
}

[Thiago Quadros]

very, very, very thanks.
The "global" reserved word that is a great solution.
Thanks.

Sorry for the old post, but I came accros it from Google, so, a better anwser :

 

Prestashop uses 2 cookies, one for Front and one for Backoffice. The backoffice cookie is named "psAdmin", encoded with a MD5 and contains the employee_id. So your solution is only working under /admin folder ! If you want to retrieve the employee_id outside it, you need to create a new Cookie('psAdmin')

Prestadget, i can't understand what you told about the backoffice cookie, can you please help us on how to use it ?

 

For now, i'm using the "global $cookie" and it's working

Hi I am trying to use this for my standarad php coding but I am unable to access this id_employee variable..I am trying to use it for standard php code.

I want to save the id_employee in a new $id variable please help.

[JoelWebsites]

$id = ((int)$cookie->id_employee); 

this returns me zero value

[vekia]

you have to define global cookie.

 

global $cookie;

$cokie->id_employee;

how to do i get the employee id in tpl file ...

[aquahuang]

put this {$employee->id}  in .tpl

[serfer2]

For Prestashop >= 1.5 you must use "Context" class (read the docs).

In example (inside a module code):

$employee_id = $this->context->employee->id; 

or:

$ctx = Context::getContext();
$emp_id = (int)$ctx->employee->id; 

 Hope it helps ;-)

[Klemart3D]

print_r($this->context->employee->id);

 

Fatal error: Using $this when not in object context

It's exactly the same in PrestaShop 1.7.

If you want to get the employee ID in a hook, you have to call it that way :

$id_employee = Context::getContext()->employee->id;

Hi there.

Is there any any of you who knows how to get in Prestashop 1.7.8 in admin area, order template twig page the employee id and the token generated for that page?

I'm kind of stuck here.

Thanks!

Outside Prestashop You have to add admin cookie.

Use this code.

<?php

require_once dirname(__FILE__).'/config/config.inc.php';
$cookie = new Cookie('psAdmin', '', (int)Configuration::get('PS_COOKIE_LIFETIME_BO'));

if (isset($cookie->id_employee) && $cookie->id_employee) {
    echo 'ID Employee: '.$cookie->id_employee;
} else {
    echo 'No employee logged in.';
}
