Hi all

I seem to have a problem with the remember me function when a user logs in. When he checks the box, closes the browser and then go back to the site, he needs to re-login again.

As far as I know, my cookie settings look fine:

cookiedomain: domain without www
cookiename: domain without www
cookiepath: / => domain is in root folder
cookiesecurity: disabled

Could there be another problem?

And a second small question. I would need to upgrade my board to 3.0.1. But my board now is getting pritty mod up. Isn't there a download available where all the code changes are explained like in the phpbb 2 boards?

Thank you in advance

For the cookie settings you should use :

cookiedomain:".example.com" (with the dot ".") in all cases.

And then either use the www prefix or not for the server domain, depending on which one do you want to use (eg example.com or -www.example.com)

For the update packages, phpBB.com provides with several, on automatic and one with only the changed files and the db update script.

There is no list of code change in 3.0.1 (will be one in 3.0.2), but it's pretty much useless given the huge amount of code changes.
It's easier IMO to directly merge, using for example winmerge, your current files with the ones from the changed files package.

thank you for the quick reply, but even with the dot, it doesn't seem to remember me. I even cleared my cookies to be 100%.

Clear phpbb's cache as well, just in case.

Dumb check, you did not actually used .example.com ?

It could come from a mod, hard to tell, especially when phpBB is not up to date.

That didn't help. I'm going to upgrade the board and see what that gives. One small question, what about template updates? Since I use a custom template, like a lot of people I guess, how do we know what to update in our template files?

I'll keep you informed if the remember me features works again.

u need to do the changes at template files that after upgrading coudn't automatically update.

ok, so I upgrade automatically and everything got updated nicely. The downside is, that the autologin feature still doesn't work.

I disabled all the mods on my board but still no luck. Could I misconfigured phpbb seo?

I checked my cookies and as far as I know, they are all there:

bankshopper.be_u
bankshopper.be_k
bankshopper.be_sid
__utma
__utmb
__utmz
style_cookie

I have not clue whats wrong.

If you are using the www prefix, try adding it to your cookie domain :www.example.com

Still no luck, even with the www in front. This gives following cookies:

style_cookie: website: bankshopper.be
host: www.bankshopper.be

bankshopper.be_sid: website: bankshopper.be
domain: .www.bankshopper.be

bankshopper.be_k: website: bankshopper.be
domain: .www.bankshopper.be

bankshopper.be_u: website: bankshopper.be
domain: .www.bankshopper.be

__utma: website: bankshopper.be
domain: .bankhopper.be

__utmb: website: bankshopper.be
domain: .bankhopper.be

__utmc: website: bankshopper.be
domain: .bankhopper.be

__utmz: website: bankshopper.be
domain: .bankhopper.be

I'm getting a bit desperate , but thank you for the help

I'm confused, did you actually used :".www.bankshopper.be" with a dot in front for the cookie domain ?

You should use :".bankshopper.be" or "www.bankshopper.be".

Hi,

for some reason my cookie automatically receives a . in front of the www

hum, strange.

Have you tried with :

Code: Select all

bankshopper.be

without the dot in front ?

yes I have. I have used bankshopper.be (without the dot) in my backend.

So it gets automatically a dot in my cookies. But remember me still doesn't work.

Got it fixed. Cookie names can only have alphanumerics and underscores . So that was my problem, I had a dot. Stupid mistake.

But thank you for all your patience
