Topic: Sessions & Cookies (10 replies, posted in Programming)
I'm constructin a user-login-system that will contain both sessions (for carrying info between pages) and cookies (to allow a user to remeber login).
Now, since i'm gonna use both, i want to authenticate the user if a cookie is present, and redirect to a loginpage if cookie is not valid.
I want to use sessions to "remember" the authenticated user, so i don't have to verify the user on each page-view, but rather compare a session-value with some value in the cookie, and as long as they are in agreement, another authentication against db does not occur.
The sessions will also remember login-status for the duration of the visit if the visitor doesn't want to store a cookie on the computer (The stupid swedish law)
I pretty much will have these functions to do the work for me:
requireMemberStatus - For pages that require member-status or above.
requireAdminStatus - For pages that require admin-status and not available for regular members.
setSessionHandler - First time the session is set with info
updateSessionHandler - The session gets updated with info
destroySessionHandler - When the user logs out (ie, from a public pc for instance)
setCookieHandler - Create the cookie if the user wants to
updateCookieHandler - Update expiretime and session-info on each "verify"
destroyCookieHandler - nuke the cookie
doLogin - Verify the user against the db
doVerify - Validates the cookie and updates the session and cookie
doLogout - Clear up everything...
checkStatus - Checks to see if the user is authenticated, member or admin (return 0, 1, 2)
Now to my problem...
I'm not entierly sure how to make this work as i haven't worked with cookies before and don't quite know how to make a secure varify/auth of the cookie...
Also, what happens with the cookie-authentication/validity if the user is changing computer regulary, like home-machine/work-machine and gets new sessionid's etc between visits?
Ideas, comments etc is welcome...

Re: New version-thingy (9 replies, posted in Feature requests)
If it's featurized (is there such a word?) make it a default 'off' option that admin can flip on so it wont put punbb.org into a sinkhole.
And the versionscheck could ust be a file, ie: current-version.php, that only returns a string like '1.0.1' and compare with the current board version that 'calls home'...

Re: New version-thingy (9 replies, posted in Feature requests)
Maybe check one a week, and add a field 'last_checked' in the options-table and just have code in the admin-area compare time() > last_check+(1week in seconds) and display some orange 24px flashing text saying a new version gets out (no popup and then also store the new version in the options-table and update that field when the new board is installed and make the text go away?

hmm... wouldn't it be possible that one cookie isn't recognized by the other server, thus screwing up the last post, last online and such?
As you wannot fix that in the admin-options, and you cannot get the cookie from the other server from the browser either ... or is there a way to do this?
Not neccessarly (spelling) since the cookie is client-based, and as long as the servers are in time-sync.
You only visit one server at the time.

maybe forum.xx.com and forum1.xx.com that points to different servrs.

Topic: Two forums sharing database (11 replies, posted in General discussion)
Theoretical scenario:
I have two webbservers in a round-robin-dns configuration.
I have one database-server
I set up forum.dom.com to bounce of 192.168.1.1 & 192.168.1.2 for loadbalance and failsafe
Can i have the same forum on two hosts sharing the one database?
Mainserver on 192.168.1.1 is replicating it's www-dir's to 192.168.1.2 so identical copys are present.
Is this possible if a shared networkstorage is not present?
Grasping deep theory here...hey, what else is there to do in 5:45 in the morning =/

Topic: Mail-form (2 replies, posted in Feature requests)
I noticed in the TODO that a mailform is in the works and don't remember if it's been discussed before, anyway, here's a suggestion:
Put the mailform link where you have the 'E-Mail' link below each post, that way it's easy to send a quick mail to the user in question if it's related to the post etc.
And in the user's profile-page a link with the users email can be printed out is he/she/it want's to show the mailaddy, as well as a link to the mailform if the sender doesn't feel like opening the mailprogram of it's choice.
Making any sense?

It didn't fit "out-of-the-box" and now, after a few hours of tweaking, src-hacking and styling, it looks pretty good (oh, yeah, IE is a pain in the butt) but imagine how long time it would take to try and hack a -large- "whole" package into an existing layout.
