SMF Support > SMF 2.0.x Support

The most Grevious Forum Install I've had to date.

<< < (2/2)

Yes, there's more than a few pages. Best thing to do is a search for the settings I mentioned. There should be a button on the top for that.

Now (session error is fixed) that I am able to get into admin settings for registrations (to disable registrations) I get a 403 error on index.php.. lol XD

I tried removing .htaccess, temporarily chmod 777 on directories and index.php, all no bueno for avoiding this 403. think it may have something to do with my domain using Cloudflare??

I'll search the db for the variables like you suggested anyway to make those changes.

Edit,
I found databaseSession_enable which has a value of 1.. but no go on localCookies or globalCookies... searching the entire database for those two OR even "Cookies" returns zero results from all tables.

Edit 2:
This is ridiculous, there's a real issue here with my SMF 2.0.2 installation's login/logout process.. maybe even this installation package. I shouldn't have to delete the entries from the sessions table on every logout just to have full access to admin settings once re-logged in. Out of all the different open source forum softwares I've installed.. this one is still the largest PITA. :/

This is the issue I am seeing with the login/logout functions...

Login with default time (60 minutes) and get the password incorrect message. Click the button again and get logged in. Log out gives no problem.

Login with "forever" checked, logs in fine, but gives "Session verification failed" on logout.

Seems to me that the software is not reading the database properly depending on what you select at login.

Version 2.0.2 is the biggest piece of whatever you want to call it that I have used. Considering the incorrect password problem has been an issue for over 6 years, and now this logout issue, I am seriously considering changing to another forum software. No other software has these issues which tells me it is a problem with the software alone, not servers, not browsers, as many have tried to claim...

This problem is getting old and the authors really need to fix the real problem or they'll continue to lose users...More and more websites, almost every one I go to with forums, are using phpBB .. I've used that and this and aside from customizing pains with phpBB, I have never once had an issue with the security or use...

Not to mention, AJAX chat is no longer truly compatible with SMF, and the 2 so-called fixes are still not compatible .. I do use AJAX chat due to it's ease of customizing for the look of the website...

If ANYONE has a REAL solution, I'd be happy to use that and keep SMF, but I don't see that happening anytime soon, IF ever...

dixer:
I've had the same problem -- can't post, can't admin, can't logout, can't login.

The thing about SMF is you end up editting the source occasionally.  The next release is supposed to eliminate that need... after all the mod developers update their mods!   :-\

Here's what I did.  In forum/Sources/LogInOut.php, about line 579 (for SMF 2.0.2) look for

--- Code: ---  setLoginCookie(-3600, 0);
--- End code ---

and add


--- Code: ---  setLoginCookie(-3600, $user_info['id']);
--- End code ---

None of my members have experienced that situation since.  YMMV but I hope not.
If anyone knows a better or "official" method, please do share it.

Cheers
