The autologin hack never really worked for me for some strange reason... sometimes it would keep a user logged in for about 10 minutes, other time it just didn't work after you closed the browser. My site is running XOOPS 2.2.3.

I hope they will add it as a permanent feature in future XOOPS versions.

Just came across a problem... never happened before I used autologin, but perhaps it is not caused by autologin...

xoops/error.php?c=1 page comes up when login:
Quote:

Apparently this is something to do with cookies... I think it's becuase the autologin thing redirects to website.com instead of http://www.website.com, which confuses the cookies! The bloke who owns the server will change it so that it always redirects to the www version.

Maybe I'm wrong - I would welcome your comments.

To answer my own question ...

1. I was telling people the website address with WWW (e.g. http://www.xoops.org)

2. In mainfile.php the XOOPS_ROOT constant had no WWW (e.g. xoops.org)

The discrepancy between 1 and 2 above caused the problem.

I've changed mainfile.php, and will get the bloke that owns the server to change it so that it always goes to the WWW version of the site name.

Hope this is useful for someone else...
