Hi!

I have modx 2.3.1 site where registration, submit registration, login, members only area page for logged users and all works.

But I found that even if you use two browsers (safari and firefox manager for test on site) after logging out in safari as administrator in Firefox does not display a login form to specify username and password. Is that means, that modx session is valid for whole computer?

Does somebody know why my registration and login on website works only when I'm logged into the manager as Administrator?

Many thanks!

No. Each browser maintains its own cookies. Do you have the snippets cached, or uncached? If you have them cached, then their output will be cached in the page, no matter what your login status is. Login and registration snippets must be called uncached - [[!Login? ... ]]

Thanks for reply, snippet call is uncached

[[!Login? &loginResourceId=`53` &logoutResourceId=`54` &loginTpl=`lgnLoginTpl_cs`]]

and in resource Login (49) in Settings is checked Cacheable...should it be also unchecked?

No, most of the resource can be cached.

When a snippet is cached, its output is cached as part of the page's content, and the snippet tags are removed, so next time the page is loaded only the original cached output will be there.

Uncached snippets don't remove the snippet tags, and the snippet's output is not part of the cached file. So the next time the page is loaded, the snippet tags are still there to get processed for that particular page request.

Setting up permissions can be difficult at first. I don't do it very often, so it still takes me a few tries to get it right when I do need to use them.

I'm trying to solve it for a week, and I still have not succeeded, so I tried to write on forum, to be sure if I do not make some stupid mistake...

Is this login-snippet-call directly at your template or somehow nested into other chunks or something.

What is the code of your chunk lgnLoginTpl_cs?

Does it work, when you put just

[[!Login]]

directly into your template?

Hi Bruno,

code of chunk lgnLoginTpl_cs is:

<div class="loginMessage">[[+errors]]</div>

<form action="[[~[[*id]]]]" method="post" class="form">
                <label class="loginUsernameLabel">[[%login.username? &namespace=`login` &topic=`default` &language=`cs`]]
                    <input type="text" name="username" class="cfinput">
                </label>
                
                <label class="loginPasswordLabel">[[%login.password? &namespace=`login` &topic=`default` &language=`cs`]]
                    <input type="password" name="password" class="cfinput">
                </label>
                <input class="returnUrl" type="hidden" name="returnUrl" value="[[+request_uri]]">

                [[+login.recaptcha_html]]
                
                <input class="loginLoginValue" type="hidden" name="service" value="login">
                <input type="submit" class="button eshop" name="Login" value="[[+actionMsg]]">
</form>

Login snippet is called from resource id 49 in content:

[[!Login? &loginResourceId=`53` &logoutResourceId=`54` &loginTpl=`lgnLoginTpl_cs`]]
[[-testlogin]]

Template for login resource is BaseTemplate

When i put

[[!Login]]

into BaseTemplate and clear cache and logout all users and clear cookies in browser is still same...

Hooray!

I solved it with new Resource Group for all visitors, where is resource with login page (49) belongs to User Group with Element Category Access to Login snippet Category

Generally, Login pages should not be in *any* Resource Group. That will make them available to anyone.
