Display login status outside whmcs folder

See this link:

If you want to display one of the following login status messages on any PHP page outside of the whmcs folder:

• Please Login or Register (if user has not logged in)
  
• Welcome Back {first name} | My Details | Logout (displayed to logged in users)
  

My solution is a PHP solution, and here it is:

Create file called login_status.php and save it in the WHMCS folder. Then copy & paste the following code to this file:

<?php
require("dbconnect.php");
if ($_SESSION['uid']) {
$result = mysql_query("SELECT firstname FROM tblclients WHERE id='".$_SESSION['uid']."' LIMIT 1;");
   while($row = mysql_fetch_array($result))
      echo "<p id='login'>".$_LANG['welcomeback'].', '.$row['firstname'].' | <a href="/whmcs/clientarea.php"><strong>'.$_LANG['clientareanavdetails'].'</strong></a> | <a href="/whmcs/logout.php"><strong>'.$_LANG['logouttitle'].'</strong></a></p>';
}
else{
   echo "<p id='login'>".$_LANG['please'].' <a href="/whmcs/clientarea.php" title="Login"><bold>'.$_LANG['loginbutton'].'</bold></a> '.$_LANG['or'].' <a href="/whmcs/register.php" title="Register"><bold>'.$_LANG['clientregistertitle'].'</bold></a></p>';
}
?>

(You will notice that I included some css tags and html bold tags for styling purposes.)

Now include the following line of code on any php based web pages located outside of the whmcs folder:

<?php
include('pathto/whmcs/login_status.php');
?> 

That is it!

You don't need this solution if your entire website is built on whmcs.

However, in my case, whmcs is only one part of my website. the others parts of my website are my own custom web pages and a Wordpress installation. So by using this approach I can keep all my files organised and in separate folders.

Hey!

This worked perfectly for me!

However, I want to modify the dologin.php a bit. I mean what I want is that once I enter my login details, I should be redirected to the same page from where I clicked the Login option.

How do I do it?

Just a note, if you host WHMCS on a different subdomain than your website, this likely will not work.

This means that your WHMCS is in maintenance mode, you can change that from your General Settings.

Nope, I also get this same error message if I call dbconnect.php from outside whmcs folder

Any solution??

I'm also seeing the maintenance message when calling dbconnect.php from outside the whmcs folder. Any solution?
