[Beta 1.4.0 and 1.4.1] Sessions mod 1.2

[severina]

is there still an issue with it not recognising how long they watn to stay logged in for?

will this affecgt me logging in from my ipaq .. which uses IE 5 cookies i think..

[sylvester]

with this mod, yabbse won't use COOKIES. That's why this mod is released.

[Nossie]

urm... can I ask that you put the option back in to allow users to use cookies if they wish?

only one of my users has trouble... and the others are moaning about having to login all the time....

t'anx

I haven't made that option yet. But in a future version I might add that.

[Shadowgate]

The only thing stopping me from using this is the fact that it gets rid of cookies entirely...I say have a way to log in both ways...so if cookies don't work for some users they can just use sessions...

[severina]

so basically if someone closes the IE window and then reopens it again and goes back, they'll have to log back into the board?

[severina]

and why is it that no other board has this problem?  I mean .. why is it that cookies and sessions on VB and IB and IBF and PHPBB can coexist with no problems?  I mean i'm sorry i'm mentioning other boards but this one's one of the few that just uses cookies and sessions don't coexist.

I've never had ANY cookie or session problems on other boards

[Chris Cromer]

They use a mix of cookies and sessions. Sessions to store the data, and cookies for autologin. If you turn off your cookies and visit one of those boards, then close the window and go back you shouldn't be logged online anymore. I still have to add the cookies for autologin but I haven't done that yet.

Sorry to keep asking questions, but when might u have the version with Cookies and sessions sorted?

By the way I'm happy with it as it is, as its better this way, then me not being able to use my forum at all! So Thanks for writing the mod in the first place

[Chris Cromer]

Well at least I got some gratitude for making it. I was beginning to think this mod might have been useless. Not sure when the next version will be out, I am studying up some more on sessions to try and make it better so please be patient.

Chris,
Sorry for the lack of gratitude.  Believe me, your mod is MUCH appreciated.  Granted, my llamas have to log on all the time, but that sure as hell bets getting 20 emails a day from the people that can't!  

THANKS!!!!!!

If you do come out with a combo with cookies and sessions I will upgrade immediately...

Code Select Expand

if (isset($HTTP_SESSION_VARS[username])) {
   $username = $HTTP_SESSION_VARS[username];
   $passworrd = $HTTP_SESSION_VARS[password];
}
else {
   $username = "Guest";
   $password = "";
}
$passworrd = $HTTP_SESSION_VARS shouldn't be $password = $HTTP_SESSION_VARS ?

[Chris Cromer]

Yes it shouldn't be that, looks like I made a tiny mistake. I will have to fix that.

Chris when you add in the cookies part will you make it so it will work for all sites on a domain? ie www.site.com and site.com would both be recognized?
