  Mage::App('default');

i am using this set of code from my D7 installation to log-in to magento.But it is not loggin into either D7 or magento.

But when i run this code from a seperate simple php file outside it logs in to magento successfully. what could be the problem.

Answer 1

The function signature is not right, which may be the reason for the code not executing. See the docs for hook_user_login function.

The parameter $edit is passed by reference and not directly by value. So, the correct definition your function should be,

function custom_user_login(&$edit, $account) {

  // rest of the code goes here (not duplicating).

}

Also make sure, your modules name is custom and it has files custom.info and custom.module in the module directory. And offcourse, enable the module ;-)

Also, to suggest you to look into the session and cookie info (based on your comment), you can put an echo '<pre>';print_r($_COOKIE); echo </pre> inside your theme's template.php file. Or simply install the Devel module, and enter dpm($_COOKIE); inside your template.php, to see a nicely formatted result. You'll need to clear the cache to again load the fresh template files. Similarly, you can print the $_SESSION superglobal to see the session information.

I used Rules module to set a rule and redirect after that event occurs.

Its not fully error proof. But it works. It logs into both Drupal and Magento

I will update this if i find some errors once i dig deep.

For the time being its fine
