I'm using Craft Pro to make a website where users have a private area. Users register and when login happens they are redirected to a page in the private area with respective info about that user.

When i use {% requireLogin %} with {{ currentUser.id }} Craft 3 outputs the ID of the user that has active login in the CP (control panel).

But what I need is the ID of the user that made login in the frontend to access private area and not user ID that is logged in CP.

I'm reading the Craft 3 docs but I didn't find the answer I'm looking for.

Any suggestions?

  • The logged in user on the front and and the control panel are the same - the only difference is whether that user has permission to access the control panel. If I'm reading your question right, are you saying that a user logs in to look at another user's data, not their own? – darylknight Apr 16 '19 at 8:14
  • No. Users can register in the frontend, and then can fill a login form where they will be able to submit PDF files that can be read by the admin in control panel. How can i get that particular just logged in user profile in frontend? – André Castro Apr 16 '19 at 8:23

In Craft, there is no difference between the currently logged in user in the CP, and the currently logged in frontend user. Whenever a user logs in (be it through a frontend form, or the CP login page), it results in that user being logged in. Period. There's no 'being logged in in the frontend', as far as Craft is concerned.
