login / logout doesn't work?

[Deirdre]

uh.. still one problem:

I can't logout! it says: goodbye Deirdre... but doesn't do anything.

and my testmember can't login! Just the notice that login is not possible.

here the code from theme.php, I thought perhaps the error is there:


<!-- BEGIN register -->
                        <a href="{REGISTER_TGT}" title="{REGISTER_TITLE}">{REGISTER_LNK}</a> ::
<!-- END register -->
<!-- BEGIN login -->
                        <a href="{LOGIN_TGT}">{LOGIN_LNK}</a>
<!-- END login -->
<!-- BEGIN logout -->
                        <a href="{LOGOUT_TGT}">{LOGOUT_LNK}</a>
<!-- END logout --><br />
<!-- BEGIN album_list -->

Sounds like a cookie problem.  Try deleting your cookies.

Can you give a test user account and password (not admin).

[Deirdre]

uh... problem: a friend of mine who I told to create an account can't find a register-link. Don't know wether she's too stupid or if there's a bug in my template...

this is the link.. perhaps you can create an account and test?

Hi Dierdre,

First, this thread is about you being unable to log off. Please confirm if this is solved.  Then, please do not ask new questions about different problems on an existing thread, even if started by you.

Your friend cannot see the register link, because it isn't there.  I can't see it either.  Looking at your code, it is missing.

Open your theme.php, and make sure this code is there;

Code Select Expand

<!-- BEGIN register -->
                        <a href="{REGISTER_TGT}" title="{REGISTER_TITLE}">{REGISTER_LNK}</a> ::
<!-- END register -->

here the code from theme.php, I thought perhaps the error is there:


<!-- BEGIN register -->
                       <a href="{REGISTER_TGT}" title="{REGISTER_TITLE}">{REGISTER_LNK}</a> ::
<!-- END register -->

it is there. And still can't logout.

[Casper]

Well it's not showing when I visit the site.  Please post here this full section of your code, in theme.php;

Code Select Expand

// HTML template for main menu
$template_main_menu = <<<EOT

It seems to me you have over modified your theme.php

[Deirdre]

only the first section?

// HTML template for main menu
$template_main_menu = <<<EOT

I thought I could perhaps copy it from a different layout, but it doesn't change anything

[Casper]

Suddenly it hit me  

You almost certainly have 'Allow new user registrations' set to NO, in config.

As for your unable tolog out, please give us a link and test user account (not admin).

[Deirdre]

*hit head against wall*

ok... I am so stupid.

Testuser is: Casper PW: ghost

[Casper]

Ok,

I was able to log in and out as normal, so I still think this is a cookie issue.  There is one other possible cause, that is that your computer internal clock is wrong, but this normally stops you logging in, not out.  Try making sure that is correct, delete all cookies related to your site, and try again.

[Deirdre]

Hi there,

well, I thought logging in  and out was the same problem. But as my users now can create an own account, everything is fine
I won't die if I can't logout.´

Thank you very very much

[Joachim Müller]

if you're logged in as admin, go to coppermine config and change the cookie name - this will log you out for sure (the disadvantage: all your users will have to re-enter their usernames and passwords on their next visit, the "remember me" setting will not work for them once).
