Autofill Email field with session value - Opencart 3.0.3.3

Question

I have main website, where user logins... that time I am creating $_SESSION['useremail'].

My opencart V3.0.3.3 is in folder "Shopping".

I want to autofill email field in opencart (in shopping folder) login page with session value created by $_SESSION['useremail']

How can I achieve this?

You will have to make changes in each controller, where you'd like to insert email from session.

For Login page open /catalog/controller/account/login.php

find

if (isset($this->request->post['email'])) {
  $data['email'] = $this->request->post['email'];
} else {
  $data['email'] = '';
}

Replace with

if (isset($this->request->post['email'])) {
  $data['email'] = $this->request->post['email'];
} elseif (isset($_SESSION['useremail'])  {
  $data['email'] = $_SESSION['useremail'];
} else {
  $data['email'] = '';
}

Now you will get your email from $_SESSION['useremail'] on login page.

If you wish to add those email anywhere else on your OpenCart website - you will have to rewrite $data['email'] in related controllers the same way as above.

First - clear OCMOD cache https://stackoverflow.com/a/61524855/3187127 , just to make sure. Second . What will appear if you write `var_dump($_SESSION['useremail']);` in controller? – focus.style Aug 31 '20 at 18:06

I think, shall I need to php.ini in shopping folder (i.e. opencart folder) ? – Dr Manish Lataa-Manohar Joshi Aug 31 '20 at 18:22
Looks like OpenCart clearing SESSION before using. I can suggest you to use local-storage via JS. If you want - i will write down a solution. – focus.style Sep 01 '20 at 08:04
