Trying to integrate login/logout with my own website

[ricteo]

Hi everyone,

I am a novice at SMF and hope you guys can pardon me if i am not so clear with my question:)

I am trying to integrate the login/logout of SMF with my website and is encountering some problems.

I am using SSI to do the integration.
I have put this code into my website and i can login successfully.

However, I noticed that when i close the browser and open my website, my website cannot read the context value anymore ($username is empty).
But the forum still shows that i am 'login'.

I have been stuck with this problem for some time and hope someone will really help me out.

Thanks in advance.

This is my code.

<?php
require_once('forums/SSI.php');
require_once('forums/Sources/QueryString.php');
require_once('forums/Sources/Subs.php');
require_once('forums/Sources/Errors.php');
require_once('forums/Sources/Load.php');
require_once('forums/Sources/Security.php');

$userName='';
$userId='';
if(isset($context['user']['name'])){
   $userName=$context['user']['name'];
   $userId=$context['user']['id'];
}

if ($context['user']['is_guest'])
{
   ssi_login('the link to the page i want it to go after login');
}
else
{
   ssi_logout('the link to the page i want it to go after login');
}
?>

When I pulled the login to my website, I had to use include() instead of require() or require_one().

Hi, welcome to SMF.

I don't know if you've seen the SSI Readme. Quite a bit of helpfull information there.

But it sounds like you could have a session problem. Go into the Admin CP > Server Settings > Feature Configuration and set the following

Enable local storage of cookies  > Unchecked
Use subdomain independent cookies > checked
Use database driven sessions > checked

Also in looking at what you've posted there's no need to include the following. SSI.php does that already.

Code Select Expand


require_once('forums/Sources/QueryString.php');
require_once('forums/Sources/Subs.php');
require_once('forums/Sources/Errors.php');
require_once('forums/Sources/Load.php');
require_once('forums/Sources/Security.php');

Hi,

I noticed that if i set the internet options on explorer to accept session cookies, my site can read the $context variable.I am puzzelled why smf can read $context after i restart my computer but my website cannot do it.

And it is problematic if i am to ask my users to set the cookie value since most of them are not IT savvy.

Anyone can help?

Thanks in advance
