I'm not understanding the cookie issue with dual login

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 but haven't been able to find anything to help

2. Please summarize your problem in a few lines. I don't know what the problem is, but i can't seem to get dual login to work going from joomla to Vbulletin. I can get it to login and logout from Vbulletin to Joomla but cannot seem to vice versa. Joomla is my master, VB is my slave.

I am on Joomla 1.5.15, Vbulletin 4.0.1..i upgraded my vb from 3.8.X to 4.0.1...everything with jfusion works just fine, the usersync has not had a problem...it's just the route from joomla to vb.

I have read and used the two following threads and even with using both, downloading the new package file, running the wizard again AND double checking to make sure the underscore is accounted for.

Notice for vBulletin 3.8.4 PL2 and 4.0 PL1 Users

vBulletin made some changes in vB 3.8.4 PL2 and 4.0 PL1 that affects cookies. For dual login to work, you need to upgrade using this package. Run the wizard for vBulletin and/or read the tooltip for the Cookie Salt.

Thanks,
Alan

vBulletin 4.0.1 users (and maybe others), please read this

As reported here, vB 4.0.1 (and maybe latest releases of 3.8) is dynamically adding an underscore to the cookie prefix. You will need to add this to your cookie prefix setting in JFusion's configuration for vB in order for dual login to work. For example, if your cookie salt is bb, you need to set JFusion to use bb_.

I'm not understanding the cookie prefix deal...I even went into my vb includes/config.php to check my cookie prefix (which is eynbb_), so i'm not sure if it's my cookie prefix or my cookie salt. I did check my vb includes/functions.php for the correct cookie salt and all looks fine there. so all in all, everything does look like it *should* work.

can having the website and forum on an SSL certificate make it a problem? right now, my URLs in Jfusion list as http but in reality, they are SSL protected, so should i be using an HTTPS? even so, i've tried both and that doesn't seem to make anything pop.

3. What steps will reproduce the problem? If i log into Joomla as a registered username of testuser1 and password of dougie, i have no problem with joomla login. If i go to the menu that says "discussions" (which is my vb 4.0.1 forum), then it shows me as not logged in.

4. What is the expected output? What do you see instead? the expected output should be that vb 4.0.1 should see testuser1 as logged in.

5. You must include a printout of the login checker in the JFusion component.

Here's your first problem and probably the main one. Go to JFusion -> CPanel and click on the link on the right to activate these plugins which will also disable Joomla's default ones.

Second, you are using an old version of JFusion. The current release is 1.2.4 Support for vB 4 was not introduced until 1.2.4. You'll need to upgrade. But, since the release of 1.2.4, vB has made some changes that require the tweaks you referred to. Upgrade using http://jfusion.googlecode.com/svn/brnac ... ackage.zip and run the wizard for vB should automatically apply these tweaks.

Thanks,
Alan
