Multiple Nuke sites with one user session only

Hi all,

I have installed several nukesites each in a separate folder.
I have used the same database for all these sites but different table prefixes for each installation and kept the same User prefix for all the sites.
This way my users will have to register once and they be able to use the same login name and password for each other site.

This leaves me with a small problem tho, even tho the users can login with same username and password on all site, they are forced to login on each separate site because the cookie set from one site doesnt allow the same session on the other sites.

So what i would like to know is, is it possible to change the way the cookie works to share the same user session on all sites in order to avoid the need of login in on each site everytime.

Thanks forward, sincerely, Tac.

I believe this can be done but I have never done it. Try searching Google to find out how to do it. More than likely it is tied to the cookie naming convention.

I think Raven made the point and would agree with the problem probably lying with the cookie naming convention. Most cookies are url specific thus www.mydomin.com will use a different cookie to www.mydomain.com/nuke1 etc

One thing you may not have thought of in your quest to resolve this problem is that, you may find additional problems crop up with utilising one cookie for several nuke installation e.g. 'new post' may not work for the forums etc
