Intermittent IE login problem

Using the Login extra I'm always able to login on Firefox and Chrome.

On all versions of IE the login seems to work but I get redirected to the Home page (404 I guess). If I try a few times and hit F5 sometimes I can get to the landing page post login.

Anyone else experienced this?

This is MODX Revolution 2.2.0-pl2 (traditional) + Login 1.7.3 [ed. note: sparkyhd last edited this post 12 years ago.]

Just noticed that if I login on IE I get redirected to the Home page (as described above).

If I close the browser, then re-open it, and visit the login form it says I'm logged in?

Just to narrow the issue down a bit it's related to 'www'

If I use www.domain.com it works fine.

If I just use domain.com it doesn't work.

The strange thing is that the login form isn't on the site Home page. The base_url is www.domain.com so if I visit domain.com, then click on the link to the login form page I get to www.domain.com/login.html (the www is added due to the base_url).

If anyone can shed light on IE getting confused over sessions just because I started browsing without 'www' I'd be most grateful.

I'm having this exact same problem, I can log-in from any browser (Safari, FF, Chrome) except IE, I tried on virtual machine with IE7, IE8 and 9, with no luck.

I tried modifying my htaccess with:

RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} !^www\.
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ http://www.%{HTTP_HOST}/$1 [R=301,L]

..to prevent the www thing but nothing.

It's a multilingual site with Babel and I'm using contexts for different languages so I also tried BobRay's advice and added:



..to my login call, and again no cookie.

Opengeek mentioned on a thread with a similar problem to validate code, but my code is valid and I get the cool green W3C mark over the entire site.

I'm totally out of ideas and have no clue as to why it all works perfectly fine on any other browser except IE.

Apache version 2.2.22
PHP version 5.3.13
MySQL version 5.0.95-community
Architecture i686
Operating system linux
Modx Version MODx Revolution 2.0.8-pl (traditional)
Login Add On 1.5.2

Mark, did you solve this issue? Has anyone else experienced anything similar?

Thanks in advance! [ed. note: upiorz last edited this post 11 years, 9 months ago.]

Never solved this issue, sorry.

It's a real bummer, login is a cool add on, I'll have to take a different route then. Thanks.

I let this simmer for a couple of weeks and decided to give it a go again today.

After some googling I found this blog:
http://mercstudio-tech.blogspot.mx/2010/11/modx-ie-login-problem.html

So it seems it has something to do with cookies in IE when using multiple contexts in Modx.

It's working for me so far.

My Login works great across multiple contexts in all browsers... However, the cookie was not set in IE until I made the Remember Me visible. (IE defaults it to off, always, it seems).

Thanks for the feedback Fuzzical Logic.

Ok I went in to try your approach but how do you make the Remember Me visible?

Are you using the rememberMeKey?

The label is not important, but the checkbox is. This is a common mistake with a lot of sites. Checkbox must have a value of "checked". That's the HTML conformance standard, but many JavaScript or PHP set it to Yes or True. And they often use the "value" to determine the value.

This checkbox code works on all browsers correctly.



Notice the

Also note that it does not include the label. (but labels are easy). [ed. note: fuzzicallogic last edited this post 11 years, 8 months ago.]
