Subdreamer & vBulletin: makes you login twice

[Pixelrage]

I'm getting a problem where I have to login twice. If you login to my subdreamer site, then click "my account", you are taken to vB's user/pass screen.

I searched this forum and found similar threads. I checked the cookie settings on vB's panel, and "path to save cookies" is set to "/" and cookie domain=blank, which were defaults.

Can I have a link to your site to see this in action?
(I'm going to check the cookies and see what's going on)

sure -- http://www.retrostatic.com/index.php

I checked my firewall and IE privacy settings, everything looks fine.

I am having that issue as well - I had a user say if they logged in via the home page they need to log in via the forums again as well..

i had this problem too:

i had vb installed with a ccokie prefix set in config.php --> subdreamers cookie and vbs cookie didnt recognize each other.
solution was to take away the cookie prefix from vbss config.php

Mine used to not log me out of Subdreamer even when I logged out of vBulletin, but that seems to have been fixed now.

When I login via either Subdreamer or vBulletin, I find myself logged in via the other.
When I logout via either Subdreamer or vBulletin, I find myslef logged out via the other.

That's the way it should be! Works great! :)

Hi syntaxell,

From what I can tell by looking at your site, it seems Subdreamer is having trouble finding your vBulletin license number (vBulletin combines your password with your license number when saving its cookies). So please try the following:

Open up this file: /forum/index.php

The fourth line of that file will be similar to this:


|| # vBulletin 3.0.3 - Licence Number XXXXXXXX


Copy your license number (which is at the very end of that line)

Now open up this file:

Subdreamer/includes/usersystems/vbulletin3.php

Find this code (it starts on line 25):


$filename = $usersystem['folderpath'].'includes/vbulletin_credits.php';

$fp = fopen($filename, "r");

for($line = 1; $line <= 4; $line++)
{
$buffer = fgets($fp, 4096);
}

$vblicensenumber = substr(trim($buffer), -8);

fclose($fp);


Replace all of the above code with this:


$vblicensenumber = XXXXXX;


Replace the XXXXXX with your license number!

Save, and then try logging in again. That should work :)

Hi Subduck ,
Have the same problem here with SD2 B2 and VB3 3.0.7 .
Adding the $vblicensenumber = XXXXXX; does not work , the code is different also in beta2. Any suggestions ?
See http://www.lamangaclubowners.com/index.php and try user "test" and pass "123456"
All works with invision , but I would prefer using Vbulletin.
Thanks,
Eddy,

I normally have to login twice here, and though all my cookie settings are correct, it happens a fair bit, say 1/8 times.

Please post all messages regarding to Subdreamer 2 Betas in this forum:
http://www.subdreamer.com/forum/forumdisplay.php?f=18

Also, please don't use any old posts to fix new problems in Beta 2, almost all the code has been changed in version 2 so most of the code found in these old forums will not support the newer updates, especially when it comes to forum integration.
