Hello,

Currently, when the user logs in to the backend (via /manager), the user also has to perform another login action in order to access Discuss as a user as well, even though that user belongs to both the Forum Members user group and a manager backend user group.

How do I make it so that when the user logs in to the backend, he also creates the Discuss user session?

I think it would probably take a plugin attached to OnManagerLogin.

The Discuss login processor is here:

core\components\discuss\processors\web\user\login.php

Hey BobRay, yeah I was thinking it'd have to be a plugin as well. I'll give it a shot.

Thanks!

Well, that was easy. I made a plugin that fires when OnManagerLogin and OnManagerLogout activates:

switch ($modx->event->name) {
        case 'OnManagerLogin': $user->addSessionContext('web'); break;
		case 'OnManagerLogout': $user->removeSessionContext('web'); break;
}

Oh so you lads call a couple lines of code "a plugin"?

Now I understand how developer cost inflation works!

$1 for tightening the bolt -- $119 for knowing which bolt to tighten and how much to tighten it. wink
