Greetings,
Having spent the last 3 hours reading everything I can find and exhausted Google, the MODx sites (forum & rtfm) I was wondering if anyone had actually solved the multi-context login conundrum?
I have several contexts, but lets keep this simple and address (what actually may be the main issue - http/https?).
The issue is NOT http/https related (hindsight is always 20/20) but naturally this was never the problem, see below...
The software and versions;
- MODx Revolution 2.0.8-pl (traditional)
- login - 1.5.2
The following are 2 contexts that I would dearly love to get working;
context 1 : web : http://foo.org
context 2 : secure : https://secure.foo.org <- NOTE https, not http
I need to have the Login and subsequent ’member’ only pages/areas running under HTTPS.
To start with here is what I
have achieved;
- Enabled the contexts with cross linking
- Established the Register and Login with all support utilities - email activation, forgot password, profile, update profile etc... under Context 2, the https - this is important!
- Tried using &contexts=`web` in the [[!Login?]] call -> [[!Login? &tplType=`modChunk` &loginTpl=`lgnLoginTpl` &loginResourceId=`122` &contexts=`web`]]
- Tried (after removing the &contexts) <input type="hidden" name="add_contexts" value="web" />
- Neither worked. And the [[+modx.user.username]] tag results in either my administration username (if logged in as a manager) or (anonymous) in the ’web’ context
Solution
Part 1
Add &contexts=`foo_context,bar_context,etc` in the [[!Login?]] call e.g;
[[!Login? &tplType=`modChunk` &loginTpl=`lgnLoginTpl` &loginResourceId=`123` &contexts=`foo,bar,etc`]]
Thanks to OpenGeek for this;

Set a system setting, session_cookie_domain, with a value of:
Clear your cache, and hey-presto, it works.
Am I onto a losing battle here? Can 2 contexts (or more) be logged into if switching between http & https? Also if I am missing required info, please let me know and I shall endeavour to add it.
Many regards and any answer at all appreciated,
A big thank you to the developers and users of MODx, you’re making my life happier.
