I'm having a very strange issue...
My forum is installed in the forum sub-directory... /home/public_html/forum
I have Drupal installed in my root...
When including SSI.php from another directory the $user_info array shows me as guest, $user_settings is empty.
For example:
http://www.mysite.com/node/1 (includes the SSI file, doesn't show me logged into the forum, tho I am)
http://www.mysite.com/forum/ssi_examples.php (works fine)
Is there some reason you can't access SSI from outside the directory? Is there a way around it?
bah, local storage of cookies was on... :(
