[Ortix]

Please fill up the following form to enjoy free support from our Team. No Support will be provided in case this form is not filled up!

1. Have you searched the forums and checked the documentation section for a solution?
Yes i Have. I got it to work sort of... but then it just stopped working out of the blue.
2. Please summarize your problem in a few lines.
I go to my site. I login from joomla front end using jfusion login. I used to be able to login but on the top it would say your session has expired login again. I was logged in tho in vB and Joomla! Now (didn't change ANYTHING) i get Invalid Token and a blank screen without being logged in at all. I used to get that as well when i upgraded to jfusion 1.2.4 and started using jfusion login, but i forgot to add the cookie salt, which made me log in but the remember me function did not work at all and it would give me that expired session error. Now i can't login and dual login doesn't work either.
3. What steps will reproduce the problem?
I have no clue... i just try to login with a standard setup...
4. What is the expected output? What do you see instead?
Be logged in into joomla and vb without those errors
5. You must include a printout of the login checker in the JFusion component.

i get Invalid Token and a blank screen without being logged in at all

this is caused by "joomla" or cashed modules. check google and a few threads on this forum can properly help you aswell

[Ortix]

well that's not a really helpful support answer. I tried most links google gave me and they did not work. I wouldn't be wasting my time with posting if it was as easy as looking for it. I actually did search. This is not "support" Sorry to say that, but if you are saying i have to fill out that form thing or no support will be provided, i do expect at least some sort of an answer.

It's "joomla"... no shit sherlock it's joomla.

Since we are integrating multiple softwares with Joomla, it is not always a given that it is Joomla. It could be the software you are integrating causing the issue which is often the case. Thus the "no shit sherlock" response is inappropriate.

The invalid token error is a Joomla issue that is generally not affected or caused by JFusion.

I used to be able to login but on the top it would say your session has expired login again. I was logged in tho in vB and Joomla!

When you say the top, are referring to Joomla or vB? Are you running vB frameless, wrapper, or standalone?

Now (didn't change ANYTHING) i get Invalid Token and a blank screen without being logged in at all. I used to get that as well when i upgraded to jfusion 1.2.4 and started using jfusion login, but i forgot to add the cookie salt, which made me log in but the remember me function did not work at all and it would give me that expired session error.

Having or not having the cookie salt would not cause the invalid token error at all. There is nothing related between the two. Not having the correct cookie salt would simply create bad cookies that vB will refuse to recognize and thus not show you as logged in.

Do you get the same invalid token error if you use another login module such as Joomla's standard one? Or is it only when using JFusion's?

Now i can't login and dual login doesn't work either.

You can't login to Joomla? Frontend? Backend? vB? vB admincp? What?

Now when you say a blank screen. Do you mean it is white with the message Invalid Token? Or is it all white? If all white (nothing there), then a php fatal error is being encountered. You need to look through server's logs to figure out what it is to be able to figure out how to fix it.

Please answer those questions so that I can get an idea of where to go next.

Thanks,
Alan

Now that's an answer i was looking for

Ok so this is my setup. I am running vB 3.8.x (the latest of 3.8 branch don't remember which one) with the latest jfusion. No wrapper or frameless, simply a link to the forum.

The error @ the top was in joomla front-end.

I think i fixed it sort of. I enabled yoo login, with jfusion still enabled and logged in through yoologin. Everything worked fine and i was directed to a page saying that i logged in successfully. Remember me function works as well when i log in with yoo login (it has auto remember me)

When i login with jfusion i log in but i get the session expired error at the top of the front end page and remember me function does not work. Epic fail?

I just found out that this error only happens when yoo login is disabled. so when it's enabled i can login with the jfusion login and have no problems whatsoever (remember me doesn't work tho with jfusion either way). So it is jfusion's problem.

[Alan]

Please create a bug report for the invalid token issue at http://code.jfusion.org. Please make sure you state that this is isolated to the jfusion login module as yoo login does not have the issue. It could be a bug even though no one else has reported this issue. Adding it to the bug tracker will prevent this thread from getting lost in he forum. I'll take a more in depth look Thursday to see if I can reproduce the issue.

Thanks,
Alan

No need to be nasty. We use our free time here. In your post i saw nothing about trying to google it or similar, so i suggested it and i a sorry if my limited english offended you i guess i should have said.

this is PROPERLY caused by "joomla" or cashed modules. check google and a few threads on this forum can properly help you as-well.

But then again that would also have wasted my own time searching for links like this as you already Google it.

But SORRY, if my answer did not match your expectations. at the time i was writing it i was at work, and did not have time to help you find links.

I might add that i do not know VB, so i could not help you with that part of the questions. that is why i did this:

i get Invalid Token and a blank screen without being logged in at all

this is caused by "joomla" or cashed modules. check google and a few threads on this forum can properly help you aswell

That is what my experience was able to help you with. I tried my best to give you answer until vb expert Alan was able to give further insights. SORRY for trying to speed up the free support.

Ok i appologize as well fanno. I was just in a bad mood.

Anyhow, I got everything working (sort of). I hid the yoologin module and i'm just logging in with jfusion. I can't get the remember me function to work. Everytime i reopen the site (close it and then reopen it, so refresh is good) i am logged out in both vB and joomla.

[Ortix]

ok so this issue apparently did NOT go away.

I tried this in many different browsers but i keep getting the same issue.

The dual login system is not linking correctly.

For example, i just went to my site, i was not logged in. I tried logging in but it didn't work. error: "Session expired."

I go to the forums and i was logged in there. So i log out. and try logging in from joomla again. This time it did work. So logging in while i'm logged out from both softwares work.

Logging out from both softwares works as well... but when i close the page and go back to it i'm logged out from joomla and sometiems it logs in and sometimes it doesn't. Sometimes it actually logs me out of joomla without any reason. This happened when i was adding a K2 article from the front end. I saved it, went back to homepage and BAM... i was logged out.

any ideas what's going on?

Ortix,

I would suggest PM'ing Alan with admin login for your system so he can have a look, it would need to work for Joomla/vbulletin and he might even need to have ftp access in case he needs to add a file to check things. It at this stage becomes a trust thing, as we are all volunteers, I have done this with him to my test site, and without hesitation. I have a fair degree of trust in this project and the people involved.
