2.0.15 login issue

[pocttopus]

Hello folks,

This issue was in 2.0.14 and still exist in 2.0.15 when I want to login into the forum.
Any advice how to solve it?

Do you have a quick login form on a portal somewhere?

[pocttopus]

If the login form in header is quick login, than yes.
I don't know if there is another quick login option available.

[Arantor]

Do you have a portal?

[pocttopus]

Yes, Simple Portal 2.3.7

On previous version from smf 2.0.13 everything was fine, after 2.0.14 something happened.

[Arantor]

And did you add the login thing from SimplePortal?

Because it could be a SP bug, or it could be a bug in your theme from not having applied 2.0.14 correctly (or possibly 2.0.15) but I don't know which without knowing how you're actually trying to log in...

Looks like you're running Curve theme, if not switch to Curve and see if login works.

i had a running firefight with this all through the 2.0.14, and a post by Sir Osis of Liver pointed me in the right direction... but...

there is another place not spoken of where the 'fix' of adding the sessions script is needed- or, at least it solved the issue for my forum once and for all... it's in (drum roll) loginout.template.php ....

Except removing that sessions check is not a good choice

No, I haven't enabled any option from SimplePortal to login.

Does the login window work?  Does header login work in Curve?  If you disabled session check in LogInOut.php, you may have to remove that edit before patching from .14 -> .15.

Login page is not working.
I can login from home page only on the left side of the header.

by my adjusting the loginout.template, to my knowledge i added the sessions check, no?  it's working fine now, either way, and i haven't had errors in the log with folks having issues w/ login2... well, i had two but i reached out to them and they said it was on them and not the machine.

I don't understand what you actual do with session check?

[Sir Osis of Liver]

The original login problem in the .14 patch affected custom themes, and required manually adding session check to header login in index.template.php.  That will not affect .15 patch.  Disabling session check in LogInOut.php was for a different problem that only affected a few forums, possibly due to odd server configuration.  It may or may not bork .15 upgrade, I don't currently have access to an affected forum, but would be a good idea to revert to original code before patching to .15.

and just so I'm thoroughly covering this if there are any users here paying attention:  I confused loginout.php with login.template.php... I had added the sessions check to login.template and DID NOT alter loginout.php at all... I was required to change it back prior to using the installer, but it was just that one line for the entire update package.

[pocttopus]

So what are my options now?
I don't understand you clearly. 

[drewactual]

in your theme's index.template.php, you should have:

Code Select Expand

echo '
               <input type="hidden" name="hash_passwrd" value="" />
            </form>';

replace it with:

Code Select Expand

echo '
               <input type="hidden" name="hash_passwrd" value="" />
<input type="hidden" name="', $context['session_var'], '" value="', $context['session_id'], '" />
            </form>';

depending on what modifications you have, you're going to want to find where there are login forms... the script change is going to be the same as above for each of them.

the one i was speaking of is/was in the default theme directory, and in the login.template.php file... i did the same thing there i did to the login script in the index.template.php file... if you're using some sort of portal mod, and it has it's own login form embedded in it, you're going to want to change it there too...

disclaimer: I have had 2.0.15 running for a total of about three hours now, and haven't dug through all the changes, yet, to see if these things were addressed.. there is no harm in trying this- and if it doesn't recover what you need it to (function) simply change it back...

[pocttopus]

I will try this, thanks.
One other thing, I am running two different SMF (2.0.15) forum softwares on the same ISP and one is having issue with login, the other is fine. 

[drewactual]

mods and packages, themes and other customization's cause these things... something get's handled minutely differently- one could be clean installed @ 2.0.12, where another was @ 2.0.08 or some such, and causes a hangover.
