Brief Description:
Allows you to login to the manager through the frontend.

Hi,

I’m trying to use this snippet on a website where users can edit their document (one document per user, rights, groups, users and documents are automatically generated). When Loggin with an user account, the system seems to authenticate me. But, when i try to access the manager, it doesn’t see me as a logged in user and prompt me the login/password page. I guess one of the session variable is not correctly instantiate in the snippet. Any idea which one ?

Thanks,

Seb

are you trying to log in through the "www." domain prefix? If not this is probably the issue, because modx automatically switches to the "www." prefix if your sites base url is set up as such in the manager.

yes I was.

The problem seems to have disapear now, that’s really weird. Probably a session/cookie issue, althought I’ve tried to delete any cache/cookie several times and then re-log in.

Since I’ve rebooted my machine problem seems gone...

Is someone here?

I have a problem with this snippet: it says that I am already logged in, but it is not true. I’m using MODx 0.9.6.1

any ideas?

Manager Session is unique to MODx so if you are logged in from the manager interface (blabla.com/manager) it gives you the above statement.

I’m not logged in... but it says I am...

I mean, I logged out from manager session, then I tries this snippet... and it says I’m logged in...
actually there is one thing that says that something is wrong: I have no QuickEdit button when the snippet says that I am already logged in...

Are you calling the snippet uncached? (You should)

[!ManagerLogin!] = uncached
[[ManagerLogin]] = cached

As Kleist cleared, its all the same Cache story again, call your snippets uncached when you need some interaction b/w MODx and user (even yourself) and if the problem didn’t resolve, clear the browser cache to make sure its not the cache issue.
