What It Does:
Shares cookies among domains for seamless vBulletin login/logout functionality across multiple domains.

Basically if you have more than one domain name, or you have private forums scattered among domains, and all vBulletin instances use the same vBulletin database, this hack allows for integrated, synchronized login/logout on all domains at once.

Very handy, nice work.
Btw you forgot to reserve first post :)

I LOOOOOOOOOOOOVE this hack!
T H A N K Y O U S O M U C H F O R T H I S!

I'm glad no one is having problems so far. You wouldn't believe how hard it was to make this work correctly all the time. Unfortunately, I have yet to try sharing between 3+ domains. Anyone have success there?

i've tried the hack...
i've two domains on same forum but i can't login from the addon one....
my forum is on www.universte.com/vb
i can't login from www.turktigers.com/vb/

what's my problem ?

Did you upload ces_cookies.php into the includes/ directory on BOTH domains?
Did you make the template edit (sometimes this can be overlooked)?

* Did you add both domains to the setting CES Cookie Sharing Domains? You may have to include the /vb since I noticed your forum is not at the domain root.

Hola, thanks for this, great work. Just wondering, can you set more than one cookiedomain in ces_cookies.php?

You need one ces_cookies.php for each domain in the appropriate folder. Then you can add the additional domains in the options.

I've got a problem...its settings the cookies for all domains, except the "master" forum domain.

I've got

www.domain1.com/forums/
www.domain2.com
www.domain3.com
www.domain4.com

2,3 and 4 have the correct cookies, but the domain 1 is not setting the cookies.

My forums are all on the same server, I modified the ces_cookies.php to connect to the correct directory:

Code:

chdir("/home/webmaste/public_html/forums/");



require_once('./global.php');

require_once('./includes/functions_login.php');

require_once('./includes/adminfunctions.php');

Thats on all the sites in the includes folder.

Any ideas at whats gone wrong here? The only way I can currently log into the actual forum is by logging in at /admincp/

Thanks

I think the /forums on the first domain may be messing it up. Cookies are generated at the root level.

Another issue you may be having is that browser standards usually only generate a maximum of 18 (I think) cookies at a time. I believe that each domain generates between 2 and 4 cookies, so 4 domains may be the most that will work without making many file edits.
