Research module providing a manager for accessing adminhtml sessions from the frontend area, and frontend sessions from the adminhtml area.
Can load from file or database session storage, with a simple "drop in" class for other session types. See files in Model/Loader for examples.
Grabbing adminhtml or frontend session data from either environment.
$adminhtml = Mage::getModel('pulsestorm_crossareasession/manager')
->getSessionData('adminhtml');
$frontend = Mage::getModel('pulsestorm_crossareasession/manager')
->getSessionData('frontend');
var_dump($adminhtml);
var_dump($frontend);
Checking an admin ACL rule from the frontend.
$manager = Mage::getModel('pulsestorm_crossareasession/manager');
$acl = 'system/cache';
if($manager->checkAdminAclRule($acl))
{
var_dump("Logged in Admin user can access $acl");
}
else
{
var_dump("Logged in Admin user can NOT access $acl");
}
Right now only the files and db storage types are supported. If you want to use this with Memcache, reddis, etc. you'll to implement your own loader model.
Implementing a loader model is as easy as dropping a new class in the
app/code/community/Pulsestorm/Crossareasession/Model/
folder, named such that is matches the value in the <session_save/> node. For example, <session_save>files</session_save> is Files.php, <session_save>db</session_save> is Db.php, etc.
A loader object should extend the Pulsestorm_Crossareasession_Model_Loader_Abstract class, and implement the single abstract _load method. The _load method should load the raw, serialized session data and return it as a string.
