Photopost Login vs VB login

steve worcester · July 15th, 2009, 02:35 PM

We have an external link that would take someone directly to a photopost gallery upload page. Problem is if they have never logged into vBulletin, or are logged out, they are shown a photopost login instead of a vBulletin login. Sure, you can login, but looking in the top right, vBulletin doesn't know your logged in. Any idea as to what I have disconnected?

Cookies and Login Problems!!

My suggestion is to check your cookies and make sure vb and photopost match up.

In this case, I don't think it is cookies. Both paths are set to / and the domain on both are set to .aawforum.org.

In this case it would be someone who has cleared cookies or has never logged in.

If you have never logged in or are logged out and we direct you to a photo upload page
Login - AAW Photo Gallery

I get the photopost login. If I login there, it still show the vBulletin info in the top right as (username instead of Welcome ...) not logged in.

How about the cookie prefix in the cookie prefix or the vb license number in the config settings?

It appears the wrong # (vBulletin) may have been in the Photopost VB serial number area in the config since our upgrade. Seems to work now.

Is the default in there the photopost serial #?

And it does log you into vBulletin now, but when completed takes you to the main index instead of continuing to the upload as initially requested.

Any suggestion on that?

No the default is just that a bogus thing. On install when you integrate with vb3 we ask you to enter your vblicense number.

How about the fact it goes to a different place? Is the login getting in the middle and hijacking the requested page? Is there a way around this, that you are aware of?

(Have I told you how much I appreciate your help lately?)

No the login is fine.

If you go to a specific photopost page and are not logged in you get the login box as long as your integrated correctly the login will be fine. The page you get is valid. Your not going to get a login page unless logged in unless of course you allow guest uploads.

Sorry, what I meant to say is.....

I understand that we would be going to the login, because the function requested requires you to be logged in.

What I am trying to figure out is how can I make sure that after login is successfully completed, it goes to the upload page as originally requested and not to the Photopost index page (which is where it is landing).

Well I have not tried this so I can not guarantee it works but you could try finding this line in misc.php and replace index.php with $redirect

Code:

Content visible to verified customers only.

steve worcester · July 16th, 2009, 02:21 PM

(if it is the misc.php in /photopst)

I tried "$redirect" and $redirect , still lands on the index page.
