hello.

I've

www.mydomain.net/forum
forum.mydomain.net
www.mydomain2.org

You said,

and all vBulletin instances use the same vBulletin database,

now, there is all different database, so you mean that the same database needed?
using the same DB just defferent domain?

In this case, where I the ces_cookies.php file? As you state, is it must be in under forum/includes per ALL domain's forum?

I tested it between different DB had the same username, but nothing act. There is NOT same cookie_prefix or domain on the vbulletin options.

What is the problem that I tried?

Thanks.

Well, the session tables aren't synced because they are in different databases. However, the mod should handle that anyway. Even if the users have the same username, if they are not the same userid then this will not work. For each of the databases, make sure this product is installed and that the settings are the same for this mod.

I have a custom cms that uses the same database as my vbulletin. so users can login on both with the same username and password. however I think it is something to do with cookies, because you need to login on both. Could this solve my problem?

[thincom2000]

I don't know how your CMS is set up, but you can always try it. Remember that you are messing with cookies and the ability to login, so make sure you're familiar with the steps to revert your changes in the event you experience problems logging in.

Installed on 3.8.2 and I have php error right after login:

PHP Parse error: syntax error, unexpected ')' in /forum_test/includes/ces_cookies.php(171) : eval()'d code on line 115

and this error points to line 171 in ces_cookies.php :
eval('print_output("' . fetch_template('STANDARD_REDIRECT') . '");');

any ideas ?

I think the problem is somewhere here :

PHP Code:

 
"</form>\n\n\".((!\$GLOBALS['vbulletin']->options['ces_cookie_debug']) ? \"","\" : \"\").\"\n\n\$stylevar[ces_cookies]\n</body>"

You have the mod's debug mode enabled in its options. Disable cookie debug mode.
