[dev] getting a user's prefs without loggin the user

[Atif Ghaffar]

Hi Jan,

thanks for pointing that out.

So this code should work then.
If I goto www.aghaffar.ispman.net, then the username is aghaffar_ispman_net


My prefs driver is LDAP and username and password are both set to "".
So in an auth session, the username and pass of the user is passed to 
the LDAP driver. What shall I pass as password in an anonymous session?

__CODE__


<?
define('HOMEPAGE_BASE', dirname(__FILE__));
require HOMEPAGE_BASE . '/../config/horde.php';
require HOMEPAGE_BASE . '/../lib/Horde.php';
require HOMEPAGE_BASE . '/../lib/Prefs.php';


$_server_name=preg_replace("/www\./", "", $SERVER_NAME);
$_user_name=str_replace('.', "_", $_server_name);

$conf['prefs']['params']['user_hook']="getUserName";

$prefs = Prefs::factory($conf['prefs']['driver'] , "" , "", "", 
$conf['prefs']['params']);



function getusername(){
    return $GLOBALS[$_user_name];
}


echo $prefs->getValue("fullname"); /* this should print "Atif Ghaffar" 
but does not */

?>

__END_CODE__
