$id = $this->context->customer->id_customer; 

but it does not work for me .. i am using prestashop 1.5 ..

Answer 1

I also could not get it to work in my test. However you can try

 $id = (int)$this->context->cookie->id_customer; 

which works for me. I'm not sure if this is the best way to do this though.

Answer 2

First check if the user is registered, than get the identifier $this->context->customer->id_customer

 if ($this->context->customer->isLogged()) { echo $this->context->customer->id_customer; } else{ echo 'Not LoggedIn'; } 

Answer 3

You cannot use cookies.

Just use this:

  $id=(int)$this->context->customer->id; 

you can remove (int), but I like to specify the content type im get.

In Prestashop 1.6, it is best to use a controller:

  $id_customer = null; if ($this->context->customer->isLogged()) { // code to execute if i am logued $id_customer = $this->context->customer->id; }
