Glad I could help. Thanks for testing that for us and reporting back.

YES! Works too. Changed it. Thanks - AGAIN

I wonder if this would work as well rather than initializing all contexts:

$modx->switchContext('web-ja', true);

The second argument tells MODX to reload the context.

Solution for your Problem?

Had the same Problem (but one domain instead of different Domains). Login for default context works fine. The second not:

Nothing happened after Login
Backend says user is logged in
for example [[+modx.user.id]] stays empty

Setup

2 Contexts with Babel
gateway to switch contexts
Login extra

Solution which works fine (but only after i made all the 3 changes and cleared the cache via ftp)

Add 2 lines of code at the gateway to initialize BOTH contexts (see code at the bottom)
Change System Setting: session_cookie_domain: myDomain.de || session_cookie_path: /
Add Parameter &contexts=`web-ja,web` to [[!Login]] call

gateway

initialize('web');
$modx->initialize('web-ja');

if($modx->context->get('key') != "mgr"){
    /* grab the current langauge from the cultureKey request var */
    switch ($_REQUEST['cultureKey']) {
        case 'de':
            /* switch the context */
            $modx->switchContext('web');
            break;
        case 'ja':
            /* switch the context */
            $modx->switchContext('web-ja');
            break;
       	default:
            /* Set the default context here */
            $modx->switchContext('web');
            break;
    }
    /* unset GET var to avoid
     * appending cultureKey=xy to URLs by other components */
    unset($_GET['cultureKey']);
}

login call


[[!Login?
  &loginTpl=`lgnLoginTpl`
  &logoutTpl=`lgnLogoutTpl`
  &errTpl=`lgnErrTpl`
  &loginResourceId=`[[++login_memberPage]]`
  &logoutResourceId=`[[*id]]`
  &contexts=`web-ja,web`
]]

yes i have different domains for each context ... now i tryed to add &contexts=`web,italian,slovenian,english` to login snippet.. and now it works .. thanx to everyone ..

&context option should be added to rtfm .. and also system setting session_cookie_domain could be in settings with some null value .. in that way i could see it

Wheer is this option, how i can use it ?? .. i didn’t see it in docs ? can this cause my problem ?

It’s just called "contexts" and it’s used like so:

[[!Login? ... &contexts=`web,italian`]]

Are they different domains? If so, you cannot share the sessions across different domains. If they are subdomains, you can add the session_cookie_domain value as explained earlier in this thread, but you still have to log users into each Context somehow. If sharing the session (across subdomains) the Login extra has a property called &contexts that takes a comma-delimited list of contexts to log a user into.

i have similar problem, so i’ll ask here ...

-i have 4 contexts: web,english,slovenian and italian
-i created 3 user groups users_en, users_si, users_it
-i have three domains, each domain for each context (without web context)

i use login addon to register new user in specific user group .. but i have problems with login

i registered a user on italian domain, so it went to "users_it" group. On "users_it" group i set the context access as "Load Only" with minimun role "Member - 9999" for context "italian"

with my user i can login on web context .. but i can’t login on italian domain useing italian context .. i can login only on web ... i missed something ?? what i have to do so the users from users_it will be abble to login only on italian domain using italian context ?? .. and EN users for english domain and SI users for slovenian domain?

...The Login snippet has options for this.

The user has to be logged into each context explicitly. The Login snippet has options for this.

Any help in this area would be so much appreciated.
I have a very similar situation.
Login works properly from main domain(site.com) and a [[checksession? &context=`web]] and [[checksession? &context=`other`]] both result in true as well as access to the user object [[+modx.user.username]]

But when same login snippet is added to other subdomain (sub.site.com) the login snippet (although it does redirect to &loginResponse=`1`) results in a false checksession and no user object returned.

I have tried adding the .site.com to system setting session_cookie_domain but I don’t see any real change.
