Users not logged in to the classifieds

pcgorilla · June 18th, 2009, 05:28 PM

I know this has been addressed but is the biggest issue on my site.

Users click on a classified and they are shown as logged out of the forums. They have to log in, check the remember me box as they log in. Then they are OK. I have ReviewPost (seperate DB) and it works perfect. Only in the classifieds am I having this issue. Classifieds are also in a seperate DB.

I have VB Forum integration

Here are my settings in Reviewpost:
Reviewpost Cookie Path: /
Forum Cookie Prefix:
Reviewpost Cookie Domain: .eastvaleresidents.com

Here are my settings in Classifieds
PhotoPost Classifieds Cookie Path: /
Forum Cookie Prefix:
PhotoPost Classifieds Cookie Domain: .eastvaleresidents.com

Same exact thing but why is this only happenning in the classifieds?

chuck, I can give you a test user account if you wish.

You can post a url and admin login to our contact us link in the header but there is no difference between reviewpost and classifieds or photopost how we authenticate users in vb.

pcgorilla · June 18th, 2009, 05:53 PM

I will do that. Thanks Chuck.

Chuck S · June 18th, 2009, 06:15 PM

No problem will let you know if I see anything

Which version of PPC are you using?

I had this issue as well and modified the pp-inc authenticate procedure to fix it.

Chuck S · June 18th, 2009, 06:58 PM

The authenticate procedure is in the vb3.php file

I am running 3.1. Do you know what you modified to fix it?

Chuck S · June 19th, 2009, 09:10 AM

Feel free to discuss modifications with Ben via pm or email.

There should be no cookie issues if things are set correctly as noted in our example.

I've got one chap PM'ing me now - if my update fixes his, then I'll mail it to chuck to get it put in the next update

Chuck S · June 20th, 2009, 09:37 AM

You mean for me to see what you have done.

I don't know what ben did but i've just uploaded his new file and i've been on IE8 browsing my site in every location for the last 15 mins and have not had one log out.

Before it did when I browsed on IE8

Chuck can emailed you the files if I had an email address

Cheers

feel free to send any file he sent you to the contact us link in our header.

The interesting issue here is we are no able to replicate any issue and i myself use 4 browsers. Mozilla, IE, Opera and Safari.

For example log into this site here and do not check the remember me box and browse around to the gallery or classifieds. I placed links above. You stay logged in. So the question I have repeatedly pondered whats the difference.

Yes chuck you are indeed right, must be some vb-hack or whatever that stopped it, all I know is that my admin account was fine in IE,Firefox,Chrome yet my test account (not the one I gave you!) was not, I don't know, all i know is its not doing it now LOL

I never ever had the remember me button ticked!

Chuck S · June 22nd, 2009, 09:36 AM

Which is why I said you could send the file.

Obviously there is something different whether it be some java code or plugin something that might be messing with a sessionhash in vb. Any default vb/pp that I can sign into I can do so with or without checking a remember me box. In fact what I found was it definately was tied to some vb alteration because if you turn off the vb headers on our product say on your site and click around you will see your not logged out. It is only when you use your vb header so it comes down to what plugins etc you have installed that might be interferring with the vb sessionhash.

Have sent the files to the contact us email for your attention chuck

Chuck S · June 22nd, 2009, 09:21 PM

Yes I saw it

Only one thing really different although I dont see where that would interfere with the sessionhash it only updates the user last on not sessionhash.

pcgorilla · July 17th, 2009, 08:12 PM

the vb3.php file in the new release fixed this for me. I just copied that file over and works fine now. FYI

Chuck S · July 17th, 2009, 08:27 PM

Yep that is what we had suggested in this thread.

pcgorilla · August 31st, 2009, 03:58 PM

I am getting the same thing happening in ReviewPost, will this file (placed in the RP directory) fix this as well?
