Hello at all

Some user of my site have login problems with firefox.

As you can see, the related topic links are relevant

http://boards.phpbb-seo.com/mxbb-portal ... -vt48.html

I am not sure it's the same issue, but give a try following the link who knows

If I edit the portal pageheader.php with PHPBB_URL logout will redirect me to http://www.example.de/http://www.forum. ... ogout=true

And ?

[macnack]

And ?

And it will give me a 404 error

Wasn´t it better it redirect me to http://www.forum.domain.de/login.php?logout=true
instead of
http://www.example.de/http://www.forum. ... ogout=true

Which site are you talking about, try to be precise, I am not sure to understand here.

I talk abouth http://www.detektoreninfo.de with forum in subdomain and this post from you

open :

Code: Select all

includes/page_header.php

The mxBB one

Find :

Code: Select all

//
// Generate logged in/logged out status
//
if ( $userdata['session_logged_in'] )
{
   $u_login_logout = 'login.'.$phpEx.'?logout=true&sid=' . $userdata['session_id'];
   $l_login_logout = $lang['Logout'] . ' [ ' . $userdata['username'] . ' ]';
}
else
{
   $u_login_logout = 'login.'.$phpEx;
   $l_login_logout = $lang['Login'];
}

This is wher everything is done.

So I think the better fix right now would be to use the phpBB login.php instead, so that the link will be usable in both cases (log in and out) even if your user log-in from the portal will be thus redirected to the forum after they logged in.

So change it to :

Code: Select all

//
// Generate logged in/logged out status
//
if ( $userdata['session_logged_in'] )
{
   $u_login_logout = PHPBB_URL . 'login.'.$phpEx.'?logout=true&sid=' . $userdata['session_id'];
   $l_login_logout = $lang['Logout'] . ' [ ' . $userdata['username'] . ' ]';
}
else
{
   $u_login_logout = PHPBB_URL . 'login.'.$phpEx;
   $l_login_logout = $lang['Login'];
}

Note, you might prefer no to use the first PHPBB_URL if the log out feature is working as is, then it will also work without the PHPBB_URL path

Well actually I was giving this code to peter77 to see if this could help, because, it not an issue I ever experienced.

Then, for sure, with phpBB being in a different domain, then, it's less obvious.

Was it working before ?

And before what ?

I have no problems with login with IE or Firefox on both logins (domain and subdomain).
But some of the users told me they can´t login with firefox since my site was hacked.
After hacking attack I update phpbb , include mod_rewrite and change subdomain.

never trust but what you can reproduce

It could be so many reason not linked to any coding you cannot imagine, outdated (a lot) browser, browser security settings, cookie problems on unmaintained computers, sessions running out etc ...

I'd only car about user reporting such problems like every time they log in or at least the vast majority of times, and I'd ask them to update their browser just in case.

Because it's as well possible one does it alone, you know.
