I investigated furthermore in this issue, and finally I know why it is not working.

If the Joomla RG_Emulation in globals.php is set to 0 (which is best for security reasons), the parameters in the login process are not correct parsed.

The function
tries to get the following variables:
which fails with RG_Emulation 0.

With the use of
its working again.

Perhaps this helps the developers to make a future version register_globals off compatible, as this is more and more important 

//edit:
I think this problem is caused by register_globals off, too.

I am having this bug, too. Reinstalling does not help.

I think you are right.

Because SMF session is still fine, but Joomla's session ends after the specified value of seconds in the J backend, even if you mark the option "Stay always logged in"

Will there be any fix or patch to avoid this? Or do we have to wait for JSMF2 ?

Thanks I know, but as you said this is no solution. One member logs in at a public place and the session ends after 2 years Yipiieh security!
 
If you are having the same problems, I think the problem of not synced sessions with the actual version 1.4.2 of com_smf and Joomla 1.0.10 is well known...

Any fix or patch on the horizon?



I remember that this happened also in previous versions of com_smf, and the developers (cowboy?) fixed it at that time with a new release which included a session/cookie bugfix.

This would be great now 

Hi there,

I am having session / cookie problems with my Joomla / SMF installation.

System specs:
Joomla 1.0.10
SMF 1.1RC2
SMF Bridge 1.4.2 with newest login modul

If I mark the option "Stay always logged in", I'm getting logged of after ~60 minutes from Joomla, but not from SMF.

The mod_smf_login shows me still as logged in, but in fact I am not, as other "Registered only" functions in Joomla are disappearing and I have to relog on.

I tried nearly everything, any ideas on how to fix this? 

Any help is greatly appreciated! 

Could it be, that the "Remember me" / "Stay logged in" Checkbox doesnt submits its value to the SMF login process?

Because I am logged out after 60minutes, exactly the time the forums default setting for a cookie lifetime.

Any ideas on how to change this to make the Checkbox working for both Mambo & SMF ?

Yes, I am having the same problem. 

Hi there,

first of all: Great work with the SMF-Integration! 

But I got some problems with the Sessions/Authentications with SMF-Login. This module is supposed to log on to Mambo and SMF at the same time, isn't it?

But the sessions ends always after some time (30-60min i think?), even if "Always logged on" is marked.

If I come back on my site after an hour or two, I am still logged on in Mambo, but not in SMF, so the SMF-login shows the login.

Any ideas?

Thanks in advance...
