Advanced module: Undefined variable user

  Is massmail_authenticate true? Could we see "blocks/_file_header.php".
  
  By the looks of that, you have no $user variable defined.
  
  Assuming _lista() is running, what happens when you add $vars['user'] = 'suw'; to it?

  massmail_authenticate is true,
  
  1. I took a look at fuel's fuel_header.php it seems I need to declare

  
  $vars["user"]=array("user_name"=>"suw");
  

  How can I get the current logged username? isn't that automatically done by the fuel render? Did I missed something?
  
  2. what's the difference between

  
  $this->load->module_config(MASSMAIL_FOLDER, 'massmail');
  AND
  $this->config->load("massmail");
  

  Both commands load the config file? which one should we use?

  Hmm I solve it somehow, but it's ugly, still - no more error
  I added a private global variable in class and filled it with current username value.

  
  class Massmail extends Fuel_base_controller {
   private $loggedUserName;
  ...
  function __construct() {
  ...
  $session_key = $this->fuel_auth->get_session_namespace();
  $user_data = $this->session->userdata($session_key);
  $this->loggedUserName["user_name"]=$user_data["user_name"];
  }
  
  function _lista(){
  $vars["user"]=$this->loggedUserName;
  ...
  }           
  

  Please let me know if there's other way to do this!

  I think Lance had a good question as to whether "massmail_authenticate" is set to TRUE. If it isn't, then the user value is not set (if you look at line 77 of the Fuel_base_controller).

  It is set on true,
  
  config/massmail.php

  
  ...
  $config['massmail_authenticate'] = TRUE;
  

  I also removed the If command - to force check login

  
  		$this->_check_login();
                  $this->_validate_user("tools/massmail");
  

  I have same error - unless I read manually the user status with this:

  
  $session_key = $this->fuel_auth->get_session_namespace();
  $user_data = $this->session->userdata($session_key);
  $this->loggedUserName["user_name"]=$user_data["user_name"];
  

  I am pretty shure somewhere I did something wrong - maybe not included something..
  here's my whole code.
  controller/massmail.php

  
  require_once(FUEL_PATH.'/libraries/Fuel_base_controller.php');
          
  class Massmail extends Fuel_base_controller {
      
          public $nav_selected = 'tools/massmail';
  	public $view_location = 'massmail';
          private $loggedUserName;    //array with username - needed for render!
  	
  	function __construct()
  	{
  		parent::__construct(FALSE);
  		$this->load->module_config(MASSMAIL_FOLDER, 'massmail');
                  //$this->config->load("massmail"); // same as above line...
                   
                  $this->load->language("massmail");
                  
  		//if ($this->config->item('massmail_authenticate'))
  		$this->_check_login();
                  $this->_validate_user("tools/massmail");
                  
                //force read user name
                  $session_key = $this->fuel_auth->get_session_namespace();
  		$user_data = $this->session->userdata($session_key);
                  $this->loggedUserName["user_name"]=$user_data["user_name"];
    	}
   
          
          
          function _remap(){
              $element = $this->uri->segment(4);
              switch($element){
                  default:
                      $this->_lista();
              }
          }
          
          function _lista(){
              $vars["user"]=$this->loggedUserName;
              $this->_render('massmail_view', @$vars);
          }   
  }
  

  and config file: config/massmail.php

  
  $config['nav']['tools']['tools/massmail'] = "Mass Mailer";
  
  // user guide requires user authentication to view
  $config['massmail_authenticate'] = TRUE;
  

  
  View file is simple

  
  
          
                "><?=lang('section_tools')?> > Mass Mailer
  
  
  
          <?=$notifications?>
  
  

  that's it - anyone put those toghether and comment "force read username" - get that error...

  I solve it - I've seen my error - after putting the code HERE -
  parent::__construct(FALSE); => must be TRUE
  
  sorry for this - maybe someone will learn from it - I DID!
