HI<br /><br />I have 2 diffrent boards but i whant users from one board to be automaticly logged in on the other board, how do i set the cookie to do that ?<br /><br />i startet to set the prefix to 4701.dk in config.inc.php but that made me unable to log in ???<br /><br />THomas

well first I gotta ask are the two boards on the same domain...

yes they are both on the same domain but in diffrent folders.<br /><br />thomas

okay so then since they are on the same domain try "/" as the cookie prefix that allows it to go site wide..

no didnt work, couldnt log ind any of the sites.<br /><br />thomas

Are they running off the same database? If they are 2 different boards, then the cookies won't be interchangeable. Only if they have a common user database.

what Josh Said I have to go to bed sometime today.

yes thye are running on same database ;O)<br /><br />thomas<br />denmark

well then another dumb question.. they are both threads forums right?

yes and both are same version.<br /><br />one in the folder ubbthreads and one in the folder ubbmad<br /><br />Thomas

and they both share the same database using the same users table and the same posts table etc...

yes, all database is the same.<br /><br />only diffrence is in the templates.<br /><br />thomas

Are there two different cookies being set? Check your cookies to determine if you have two different cookies, and note the differences in here.

so then if they are both set to use cookies the / should tell it to use the same cookies site wide and you are already using the the same database so the cookie should work.. you are sure they are both on the same domain one is on<br /><br />www.widget.com/forum and the other on www.widget.com/test and the main domain is www.widget.com?

yes itīs my own server.<br /><br />thomas

the cookie looks like this:<br /><br /> <br /><br />i can log in in both forums but i cant jump from one to another without logging in again<br /><br />thomas

But there is definitely only ONE cookie?<br /><br />If there are two cookies - one may be over-writing the other.<br /><br />I had (for a few years) a setup like this:<br /><br />http://www.bladekeep.com/forums/ - standard stuff<br /><br />http://www.bladekeep.com/forums-lite/ - a VERY stripped down version of the forums for people to use at work (ie very few icons or fancy schmancy stuff).<br /><br />I had no problem with this setup in terms of being logged in.
