 Topic: Cookie question
Posted: 27 February 2008 at 8:33am |
|
It appears that the cookies for WWF are stored based off the forum directory name. How would I access this then? If I change it so the forum stores the cookies from /, then I have no issues. Code like this would work fine:
name = Trim(Mid(Request.Cookies("WWF9sLID")("UID"), 1, 44))
How do I grab the UID if WWF places the cookie in the forum folder?
Thanks for any help.

If you look in the Settings file in the includes folder, you can change this to the root of the website.

Yeah, I saw all this, but when I tried it, it didn't seem to login people anymore. Is there a syntax that someone knows for allowing it to be in the forum folder, and access it?
I know others have had issues, that's why I'm asking.

Bruce - any idea about reading it from the directory you have set?

I have sucessfully changed it on my own websites.
You comment out the one that fixes it to the forum folder (add a ' at the start of the line)
And you remove the comment ( ' ) from the start of the line that looks like :
'strCookie = "/"
You will need to log out and log back in for it to take affect.

Hi - yeah, like I said, I tried this from the start, and I had no problems getting the info from the cookie, and it worked fine, however it wouldn't log me in.
I just tried it again though, and I had the same issue occur, but this time I deleted all of the cookies for the site, and then tried to re-login, and it was fine.
Just have to let all the members know about this I guess, and then change it. Thanks.

Scotty,
Yes, the changes to strCookiePath do work. Cookies get set at different path levels successfully. However, the actual string cookie value such as
WWF9sLID=UID=loginuser8Z9B6D1BZ2
always has the suffix. I'd really like to retrieve just the 'loginuser' string for the other applications I am going to integrate. I suppose I should experiment and see if that suffix is always the same length so I can strip if off.

The suffix as you call it is actually the cookie key, you use the cookie key to retrieve the part of the cookie you need.
cookie = Request.Cookies(CookieName)(CookieKey)
