Lines 66-71 of include/checklogin.php:
$HTTP_SESSION_VARS = array();
    $HTTP_SESSION_VARS['xoopsUserId'] = $user->getVar('uid');
    $HTTP_SESSION_VARS['xoopsUserGroups'] = $user->getGroups();
    if ($xoopsConfig['use_mysession'] && $xoopsConfig['session_name'] != '') {
        setcookie($xoopsConfig['session_name'], session_id(), time()+(60 * $xoopsConfig['session_expire']), '/',  '', 0);
    }

I saw above lines, I tried print $_SESSION value? It's all empty, guess I have to use $HTTP_SESSION_VARS .I will try it later. But personally I would not recommend this project for any user want make update/modification. Go to postnuke if you want make any change or write your own module. I will write why I had (seems like I will have more) so much headache.

Any way, thanks for reply.

Re: Question on user authentication

$HTTP_SESSION_VARS or $_SESSION should be of no importance.

I personally think XOOPS is way easier to work with than PostNuke. Easier overview of code, easier to see where code is outputted, few restrictions on how to name files and functions - that sort of thing.

If you don't like it and think PostNuke is better, then I would indeed recommend that you use PostNuke - choosing a CMS is mostly about personal feel with it, but personally I am not looking towards PostNuke and probably never will.

Hi
I agree XOOPS is worth stick with yay!

But - in your comment $HTTP_SESSION_VARS or $_SESSION should be of no importance.
We also need to access the $_SESSION variables to change and access - and on requesting they are blank - do you know how we can access the session variables?
