I have a question about $Cookie Class.

[JasonWang]

I am trying to read code of psshop.

 

In config/config.inc.php file, there are following codes.

/* Create employee if in BO, customer else */
if (defined('_PS_ADMIN_DIR_'))
{
$employee = new Employee($cookie->id_employee);
$context->employee = $employee;


/* Auth on shops are recached after employee assignation */
if ($employee->id_profile != _PS_ADMIN_PROFILE_)
Shop::cacheShops(true);


$cookie->id_lang = (int)$employee->id_lang;
}

$cookie is an instance of Cookie.

I think the this part ($cookie->id_employee) tells that the Cookie Class or its parental classes should have a field named id_employee. 

 

But I didn't find this field named id_employee. Do I miss any thing there? Really appreciated if you could give any possible answer.

this field will be added to $cookie object only when you're logged as an employee in back office

you're looking for place, where this field is defined?

Yes. I am curious where it is dynamically added in.

Could you point out where is this field ($cookie->id_employee) defined? Thank you so much.

it is created when employee is logging, in admin auth controller
