It logs us out.,

Any idea why please.

Is it a security token or what.. really not sure..

We have Photopost Classifieds

I think it's your cookie settings in admin
If you are using a forum software it needs to be the same across the system.

Cookies and Login Problems!!

This might assist you.

TimberFloorAu · February 26th, 2009, 02:13 PM

Thanks.

But we have vb 3.8.0 + photopost classifieds, which has been installed without a hitch for weeks.

Any suggestions ?

Chuck S · February 26th, 2009, 02:22 PM

Not really if the cookies are lined up properly and set as instructed in that thread you will not have any issues.

TimberFloorAu · February 26th, 2009, 02:49 PM

Can we retrospectively reset cookies ? and Cookie path ...
Will go n check config and report back

TimberFloorAu · February 26th, 2009, 02:52 PM

Ok cookie path is:

$config['Misc']['cookieprefix'] = 'bb';

We have forum at www.oursite.com/forum

classifieds at www.oursite.com/classifieds

Should we change cookie path to

$config['Misc']['cookieprefix'] = '.oursite.com'; ?

Users comment

If your registration go throug Vb

I would sugest you leave Vb settings as is

Change your classifieds to
PhotoPost Classifieds Cookie Path /
Forum Cookie Prefix bb
PhotoPost Classifieds Cookie Domain .yoursite.com

My vb settings are:
Path to Save Cookies /
Cookie Domain blank

I am runing vb, Pp, RP and Classifieds with out no problems on this settings

TimberFloorAu · February 26th, 2009, 03:06 PM

Thanks for reply, but photopost setup isnt my thing.

Where do I need to adapt cookie paths and / etc ?

Geiri · February 26th, 2009, 03:14 PM

You must be loged on to your website as admin

In the Classifieds navbar you click on admin
On left menu click Cookie Settings

Then you will see this screen

I made a misstake when making the screenshot..

.yoursite.com is supose to be on line up NOT IN THE SMF BOX

< That much stuff on our site, what is the path to the admin section of pp please>?

Chuck S · February 26th, 2009, 03:40 PM

Your admin link is right on the menubar of Photopost when logged in as admin. The script name is adm-index.php

TimberFloorAu · February 26th, 2009, 03:41 PM

< by jove I found it .

Doesnt help being logged off each time we have to access it lol

Chuck S · February 26th, 2009, 03:41 PM

Your cookies in both apps should be set like this

cookie path /

cookie prefix bb

cookie domain .oursite.com

TimberFloorAu · February 26th, 2009, 03:45 PM

Ok this is what I have now, hasnt logged me off.

Only thing added was bb

Fingers crossed.

Chuck S · February 26th, 2009, 04:06 PM

That looks good

If the cookies between both products are not the same you will be logged off because the cookies must be set to be readable across the products. If you did not set the cookie prefix of bb in photopost then photopost would not know to look for a cookie from vb called bbuserid it would look for userid.

Hope that explains why this is so important and why we have a FAQ on this issue.
