Cookies Problem!

[exteeyou]

Hi all,

I searched for a solution to this via the forum and google. I also know that the issue only occurs with "Zero99" theme from DzinerStudio, when trying to login to the forums using IE7/8 and/or Safari - Firefox works fine.

I have tried repair_settings.php, and I have changed the cookies settings around a bit as well, in addition to changing the cookie name. If I switch the theme to Curve, I can login just fine with IE 7/8 and Safari, which leads me to firmly believe the problem is with the theme and/or a combination of one of my mods with said theme.

So, let the help begin! :-)

If the other themes work fine as you indicate then it sounds like a theme specific issue. Can you confirm there is no issue when using other themes for example?

[exteeyou]

Read the end of my post.

[dabears]

Read the end of my post.

Then it would suggest its the theme. Look at your forum error log and that should give you an indication, unless there is no errors?

Either way, sounds like the theme your using. Ask for help with that specific theme in the support thread for it.

[exteeyou]

Um.. anyway...

How about some one else? No disrespect but you couldnt even read my entire post...

[Kill Em All]

I read your whole post... and I would of said pretty much the same thing... so I'll repeat it for mister or miss dabears.

Is there anything in your forums error log? As far as your mods go, are you sure that you made all the proper edits to your custom theme for them?

[exteeyou]

Np..

I am tired and going to get to bed I will post back on the log results tomorrow. As for the mods, I have never had any cause this, so I simply installed the theme and here I am..?

[exteeyou]

I just realized I didn't post the actual error...

I get "You were unable to login. Please check your cookie settings." with IE, but not with FF. If I switch to Curve for example, I can login fine with IE and FF. There are no errors in the error log and the files on the server have the correct ownership and permissions level (755).

I isolated the problem to only occurring when using the login form at the upper right corner of the page.

If I add the code:

Code Select Expand


                                        <select name="cookielength">
                                                <option value="60">', $txt['one_hour'], '</option>
                                                <option value="1440">', $txt['one_day'], '</option>
                                                <option value="10080">', $txt['one_week'], '</option>
                                                <option value="43200">', $txt['one_month'], '</option>
                                                <option value="-1" selected="selected">', $txt['forever'], '</option>
                                        </select>


Before:

Code Select Expand


                                                                        <div class="clr"></div>
                                                                                <input id="login_button" type="submit" value="" name="submit" />


Then it works just fine....

So, how can I fix this? Leaving the code in there messes up the theme's layout and makes it a bit ugly. I set the <select> tag to hidden, but the layout is still messy.

As that's a Dziner studio theme, I would suggest that it's Dzner studio that you should be asking, for support.

After all, they'll know their themes better than we do.

Thanks K, I figured as much. I was just looking to get the fastest answer I suppose.

[kat]

I can understand that!

Speaking personally, it seems, to me, that a few of their themes seem a bit like hacks, in a way.

They'll know what they did and why they did it, though. (I hope!)
