I got echo($REMOTE_USER) to show up on the screen. That works.
But then ...
2: ?php
3: echo("Welcome, ");
4: $user = mgd_get_person(2);
5: echo ($user-name);
6: ?
... I did not manage to find the right user id by myself.
How do I replace the digit 2 with the current users id ?
You could store a 'preference' setting holding the last read date
for the user (midgard.user). The page that displays the news section
should update this.
I found the preference documentation a bit confusing.
Is there an internal functionality for tracking use, or do I have to
add the information myself ? Do I save that in the pref table, hard
coded ?
I found my pref table empty.
I think the best for me would be to store a separate table,
on a db server, for tracking purposes ...
You would then write an offline script that
would
# get spank date as MMDD
$spankdate=...;
SELECT preference.uid, person.firstname, person.lastname, person.email
FROM preference,person
WHERE preference.uid=person.id
AND domain='newsreading' AND name='lastread'
AND value'$spankdate'
That would be my monthly report ?

I've deviced a possible solution for 1.2.5 extendable records[0] but I just finished it about 10 minutes ago and it needs testing. # get spank date as MMDD $spankdate=...; SELECT preference.uid, person.firstname, person.lastname, person.email FROM preference,person WHERE preference.uid=person.id AND domain='newsreading' AND name='lastread' AND value'$spankdate' That would be my monthly report ? Yes. If you demand that news be read at at least every week set the spankdate to 7 days before the current date in the script. Make sure that the tracking code in the site stores dates in the same format. You could have the script scold the perps by mail automatically. Emile [0] I keep mistyping this as recordz.

Re: [midgard] Session data ?
Hi,

You have to code this yourself.
Or you can look at this, it is already coded ;-)
http://www.midgard-project.org/article/1394.html
Just set a preference for that user containing a
timestamp when the page is loaded.
right, just call set_pref (after calling $pref=init_pref($midgard-user); )
set_pref($pref,"userlog","lastaccess",date("Y-m-d H:i:s"));
if you want to check it, do :
if($pref["userlog"]["lastaccess"]$modifdate)
{ ... }
