How to log in a user from an external page?

[vocabo]

Hello,

how to make a login box in an external page?

Thanks!

[vocabo]

Thank you angora,

basically I shuld send a POST request to the PrestaShop authentication.php file with params 'email' and 'passwd'.

[vocabo]

Can I do this with some PrestaShop php function?

[vocabo]

I need to log in the user from my page and to control where the user will be redirected. The problem with the first suggestion was that when I send a POST request to the authetication.php page with params as described, it doesn't log in the user, but load the login page with already filled in username and password. May be it needs some more params to be more cooperative .

Thank you for your help!

I figured this out! I ended up with this php function:

   function psLogin($email, $password) {
       global $cookie;
       $customer = new Customer();
       $authentication = $customer->getByEmail(trim($email), trim($password));
       if ( $authentication and $customer->id ) {
           $cookie->logged = 1;
           $cookie->id_customer = intval($customer->id);
           $cookie->customer_lastname = $customer->lastname;
           $cookie->customer_firstname = $customer->firstname;
           $cookie->passwd = $customer->passwd;
           $cookie->email = $customer->email;
           Module::hookExec('authentication');
           return true;
       } else {
           return false;
       }
   }

It works exactly as I needed .

I need this to, could you explain a little bit more on how you integrated this?
My usecase is that i need a login box on a seperate html/php page and after a succesfull
login the normal shop page should be loaded.

What You need is something like this?

Pre Login Module for PS v1.3.7

If you create a custom prestashop php function, how would you call this function from a separate html form?

[MarcoPas]

Excuse me if my question seems stupid, but could you give me a small example or place where i can look on how to create a handler for PrestaShop? I would like to create a form and submit the username/password and if succesfull redirect to another page.

I have a similar problem. I see that the post is marked solved. However, I do not understand where to implement the code. Sorry if I am being too dumb. I am actually a newbie in it.

Here is solution that works for me in 1.7

 

$authentication =  $customer->getByEmail($email, $password);
$authentication->logged = 1;
$this->context->customer = $authentication;
$this->context->cookie->id_customer = (int) $authentication->id;
$this->context->cookie->customer_lastname = $authentication->lastname;
$this->context->cookie->customer_firstname = $authentication->firstname;
$this->context->cookie->logged = 1;
$this->context->cookie->check_cgv = 1;
$this->context->cookie->is_guest = false;
$this->context->cookie->passwd = $authentication->passwd;
$this->context->cookie->email = $authentication->email;

$this->context->cookie->registerSession(new CustomerSession());

Hi everyone!

I figured I could share a piece of code. It might help one or the other 😀

I'm curretly working on the major 1.7.7.

/**
 * Updates the customer in the context of the shop
 *
 * @param Customer $customer
 * @return bool
 */
private function loginCustomer(Customer $customer)
{
    try {
        // update customer does all the work
        $this->context->updateCustomer($customer);
    } catch (Exception | PrestaShopException $e) {
        return false;
    }
    return true;
}

And a simple authenticate use case could look like this:

/**
 * Tries to authenticate a customer with the given email address
 *
 * @param string $mail A valid email address
 * @return bool Returns true is authenticated
 */
private function authenticateCustomer($mail)
{
    try {
        $customer = '';
        // check whether a customer with the given email address already exists
        if (!Customer::customerExists($mail)) {
            // if the customer doesn't exist -> create
            // you can use your own create function with your preferred way. It should return a Customer object
            $customer = $this->createCustomer();
        } else {
            // or if a user already exists
            // get the existing customer object by mail
            $customer = (new Customer())->getByEmail(trim($mail));
        }
        // finally login the customer
        $this->loginCustomer($customer);
    } catch (Exception | PrestaShopException $e) {
        return false;
    }
    return true;
}

I hope this helps.

 

Cheers!
