Cookies for dummies
I have a site that is primarily ColdFusion based. I don't plan to change that.
ColdFusion can read cookies. I want to have several sections of the site that are designed differently if the user is logged in. Is there a vB guide for how to read what is in the cookie? When responding, please keep in mind the title of this post "Cookies for dummies". Here's the cookie from my site. I obscured some data although I suspect it's encrypted and useless. bblastvisit 1226582224 www.bloodbanktalk.com/ 1536 2541979648 30041187 467868448 29967762 * bblastactivity 0 www.bloodbanktalk.com/ 1536 2801979648 30041187 719278448 29967762 * bbuserid 1 www.bloodbanktalk.com/ 9728 2801979648 30041187 719278448 29967762 * bbpassword ************************ www.bloodbanktalk.com/ 9728 2801979648 30041187 719278448 29967762 * |

You can verify the user using the userid and password cookies. Check that information against the vBulletin database. (Note that the password is further MD5-hashed and salted using the cookie salt.)

Thanks, how can I tell when the cookie expires? Let's say two of my members use the same PC and the set Remember Me to unchecked. I want the non-vB pages to find the active cookie only.
So in my example above, I can clearly see the userid is 1. How can I tell if the cookie is expired? Or does vB delete the cookie if Remember Me is not checked? Then in my example of more than 1 user, I should not be able to locate any cookie on the users PC, correct? Yikes, I really have no idea what I am talking about, I hope this makes at least some sense. |

If the Remember Me is not checked, no cookies regarding the user ID/password are set. IIRC

Actually the session will last the time you have set for Session Timeout in your AdminCP.
