I had a problem with geeklog cookies interfering with another application I have on my site. I was told that I could change the cookie naming convention found in the config. inc.php file.

Unfortunately I don't know a lot about using cookies or coding and I can't figure out what I should change. Can anyone point me in the right direction.

Thanks for any suggestions.

Text Formatted Code
$_CONF['cookie_session']                = 'gl_session';
$_CONF['cookie_name']                   = 'geeklog';
$_CONF['cookie_password']               = 'password';
$_CONF['cookie_theme']                  = 'theme';
$_CONF['cookie_language']               = 'language';
$_CONF['cookie_lastvisit']              = 'LastVisit';
$_CONF['cookie_lastvisittemp']          = 'LastVisitTemp';

 

These are the default names for the cookies Geeklog uses (in config.php). The documentation tells you which cookie is used for what.

Where will I have to change the names in addition to the config.php file. I tried just changing the names there and now cookies are not working.

Thanks

You only need to change them in config.php. If, say, you want to change the password cookie, set

$_CONF['cookie_password'] = 'geeklog_pwd';

(or whatever you want the new name to be). That should work.

Of course, you have to log in again after that change (or, better yet, log out first, then make the change, then log in again).

bye, Dirk
