Using the nuke cookie for a subdomain

Captain Joined: Aug 25, 2005 Posts: 380

Hello, long time no post. Sorry about that, work work and more work!!

I have a ravenNuke 7.6 site and Ive recently built a bespoke site for a subdomain.
I need the nuke cookie to be set so that the subdomain can recognise it.

Ive got so far. i have altered the code in Your_Account/index.php - function docookie() to this:

Code:

function docookie($setuid, $setusername, $setpass, $setstorynum, $setumode, $setuorder, $setthold, $setnoscore, $setublockon, $settheme, $setcommentmax){
$info = base64_encode("$setuid:$setusername:$setpass:$setstorynum:$setumode:$setuorder:$setthold:$setnoscore:$setublockon:$settheme:$setcommentmax");
setcookie("user","$info",time()+2592000,"","mydomain.com");
}

That sets the cookie to mydomain.com instead of www.mydomain.com, allowing my subdomain to read it.
The cookie works fine right across my main nuke site, in the forums and on the subdomain.
BUT, there is a twist!! (isnt there always)
Now, you can't log out of the nuke site anymore.

I am assuming I need to make some changes to function logout();

But Im buggered if I can find any changes to make.

Anyone got any bright ideas?

*edit*
Ive just found this thread on subdomains: http://www.nukecops.com/postt40947.html

But i think it's overkill for my needs.

In the logout function, there's this line

Code:

setcookie("user", false);

TO

setcookie("user", false, "mydomain.com");

Hi Evaders, thanks for that.

Unfortunately, it didn't seem to work. i still stay logged in when I tried to logout.

So I went on a googly search to brush up on how cookies work and how to delete them.
I found out that to "delete" a cookie, all you had to do is overwrite it with empty values, which I think, is what your code was trying to do.
So i came up with this:

My setcookie() in login is this:

Code:

$info = base64_encode("$setuid:$setusername:$setpass:$setstorynum:$setumode:$setuorder:$setthold:$setnoscore:$setublockon:$settheme:$setcommentmax");
setcookie("user","$info",time()+2592000,"","mydomain.com");

so I did my setcookie() on logout like this:

Code:

$info = "";
setcookie("user","$info",time()+2592000,"","mydomain.com");

Seems to work fine. I'm not sure if having the expiration time in an empty cookie will have any knock on effects, only time will tell.

Thanks for your help evaders, couldn't have done it without your suggesstion. Cool

I guess false isn't the same as empty string in this case. Weird, but good to know

This was nice post the one I was looking for.

I did this for mine and and still won't work

Vader I'm sure u knew this question was coming next.. Smile

If I log in in one site once I refresh the other it doesn't recognize the cookie any help.

I did it exactly like bridge did it

I'm using 8.0 though.

The only thing different on mine is that both sites.

are

mydomain.com/site1
mydomain.com/site2

but it should still work right

or only subdomains.?

Right, it doesn't work or subdirectories. It has to be subdomains
