Let me know if this work for you.

no

i change .site.com with my domain and set cookie domain in phpBB to

.site.com

but not work,,when i login form ST i see The cookie in my PC...

cookie domin: site.com

cookie name: phpbb2mysql_data

but the forum not use this cookie i must login in forum agine...after login no new cookie...i think the forum use it now but after login

i ask the host if there any thing not normal in the site....

forum.site.com in other server use "DNS ZONE"

so site.com in server 1 forum.site.com in server tow...i think this is the prob....

so if we can "migrate cookies across domains" it's will be great

Thank you

Yes, both application are using two different login systems. The bbwrapper module creates/remove the vB cookie to login/logout, while Storyteller actually use it's own cookie.

The easierst way to get a global login is to link all scripts to Storyteller's login/logout script.

Another alternative is to modify vBulletin's member.php script and add cookie routines (~2 lines) for the Storyteller cookie. Let me know if you need this modification.

Great, the mod worked. Login is now recognized throughout the whole website. Thanks.

But 'logging out' remains independant to Storyteller. So one must loggout again when visiting any other page, such as vB or the Gallery.

You need to do the following modifications in bbwrapper.php for that configuration:

Find:
$bb_url = "/vbulletin/";

and replace with:
$bb_url = " http://www.site.com/vbulletin/";

Find:
array_push($bb_data, $configs[6]."/".$bb_url."showthread.php?threadid=$threadid||~||$title||~||Replies: $replies");

and replace with:
array_push($bb_data, $bb_url."showthread.php?threadid=$threadid||~||$title||~||Replies: $replies");

Find:
setcookie("bbuserid",$userdata[userid]);
setcookie("bbpassword",$password);

and replace with:
setcookie("bbuserid",$userdata[userid],time()+60*60*24*360,"/"); setcookie("bbpassword",$password,time()+60*60*24*360,"/");

Find:
setcookie("bbuserid",0);
setcookie("bbpassword",0);

and replace with:
setcookie("bbuserid",0,0,"/");
setcookie("bbpassword",0,0,"/");
setcookie("sessionhash",0,0,"/");

Let me know if this fix the login issue on your installation.

Well this should be solved simply by changing the vB cookie save path in Storyteller. Is there a way around this? Afterall, both folders are placed under the same subdomain...

public_html/subdir/forums ( http://subdir.site.com/forums)
public_html/subdir/storyteller ( http://subdir.site.com/storyteller)

I also have a gallery which is using vB's database and I'm not having any cookie issues there. Here's an example of the full url addresses:

 www.site.com/forums
 www.site.com/storyteller
 www.site.com/gallery

The creator of the Gallery script has posted the vB integration files here - http://www.4homepages.de/forum/viewtopic.php?t=1659 You might want to take a look at them.

The main problem is that Storyteller create the vBulletin cookie at storyteller.yourdomain.com (example), while vBulletin is running under another subdomain. Both scripts need to run under the same (sub)domain.

Yes, you can rename index.php to storyteller.php. Run a search & replace (index.php to storyteller.php) on all templates after the change.

Thanks for the info, hopefully the login/out issues will get sorted so I can tackle the template modifications.

When I ran another test only the News Category section was effected by this. And yes, clearing the cache worked.

So basically what this means is that ST won't run properly in a subdirectory. But the only issue that I'm having at the moment is with the cookies/vB.. Everything else works (In spite of a minor bug or two which I'll post about later)

Storyteller is being used at a domain (an addon) which directs to a subdirectory on my main website. Example,  www.addondomain.com takes you to /public_html/subdomain/ ( http://subdomain.mysite.com) If I were to change directories, I would have to place ST under the subdomain folder and rename the index.php file to something like storyteller.php. (Because I'm using the current index.php for something else) I'd go through the process of editing all the php files if this is possible.

You need to add the BB code and smiles in the submit_news template. The category dropdown list needs a small modification at the submitstory.php script.

This could be done with a small modification in the submit_news and submit_links templates.

Please post on the templates forum if you need help with both modifications.

Shouldn't all the vB message board users be listed aswell? This feature is important so that I can set permissions for previously registered members...

The admin control panel (admin users) is independent from the vB integration. Only the front end is integrated with vBulletin. This is because the permission management of both products are different.

I've just done a complete reinstall and it's doing the same thing. Also came up with the following, hope it's not too much to start with..

Yes, 2.2.9 is fine.

In which directories are Storyteller and vBulletin installed?

Cookie Related

Version 2.2.9 (this version should be ok?), and the cookie path is set to just: /

There's another important question that I wish to ask, but I'll save it for another thread or until this ones been resolved.

Cookie Related

Which version of vBulletin are your using?

Also, what is your cookie path in the vB control panel (Path to Save Cookies).
