Checking user group

MForce

I am trying to get the user group of the current (logged in) user.

Previously I used require_once dirname(__DIR__) . '/forum/api.php'; to get the cookie data with $_COOKIE['flarum_remember']); and get user group from the database.

Now I can no longer require any Flarum files to complete the same task.

Is there an API equivalent? Any suggestions?

I set the domain for the forum cookie to "/" to access it from elsewhere.

It appears cookie behavior has changed as well: the cookie value stored in the database is not the same on the client.

Where are you trying to fetch the information from ?

If you have a server-side app that knows the user ID or username, you should be able to hit the /api/users/{id} endpoint, and ?include=groups should get you the groups (I'm not sure if they are included by default or not)

I'm trying to use the Flarum session to authenticate to another page on the same server outside of Flarum.

I looked at https://discuss.flarum.org/d/2402-external-login-check/20

I tried putting the forum in an <iframe> to get app.session.user, but to no avail. Anyone able to do this?
