user & admin cookie issues

Is there a way to have a different cookie for the admin side of ST vs the front end?

Seems when I log out of the front end (testing, etc), the next thing I try to do in the admin CP (in a different browser window) will fail and I get prompted to log in again. Smiling Face

Of course I was usully trying save a template or news item I just edited, and then that fails, and have to do eveything again.. ;(

Also, I haven't figured out what triggers it yet, but I consistantly get logged out when I click on either the User CP or Private Messages links. It happens about 30% of the time. Is the cookie timing out? Whats the current timeout set for?

Interesting. No, there are no changes with the login system between the freeware and licensed version.

Works! Smiling Face

What's the downside of disabling the session check?

This is caused by the session check. You could disable this by changing the following in cadmin/index.php:

 if ($ldata[2] != $admin[user_securekey])

                {

                    setcookie ("esselbachsta", 0);

                }

to:

 if ($ldata[2] != $admin[user_securekey])

                {

                    //setcookie ("esselbachsta", 0);

                }
