When I say "Multiple Sites" I don't mean "Multi-Sites", I mean that I have several installations sharing some of the same DB tables.

I had to use this method because the MultiSites module did not work for me.

This is for testing on a main domain and a sub-domain (or as many sub-domains as you'd like) using PN 7.50

All PN installations are installed in the same DB.
The main domain is installed with the prefix 'nuke'
The subdomain is installed with the prefix 'nuke_sub'



**(1)**


In pntables.php I've changed all user tables:

_group_membership
_group_perms
_groups
_user_data
_user_perms
_user_property
_userblocks
_users

to share the same DB

and set the $session_info to (where nuke from 'nuke_session_info' is the prefix of my main DB) which will have the two sites looking in the same place for the user's sesssion info.
(respect to Serenarules for this part)


**(2)**



In modules>NS-User>tools.php change the line in function docookie to
so that the cookies for each site are stored in the same manner (rather than each being stored for their respective domain)
(respect again to Serenarules for this part)



**(3)**



In includes>pnSession.php set

which does something I'm not certain of, but that drak posted in his instructions on staying logged in across multiple sites here: http://news.postnuke…om/Article2628.html



**(4)**



Finally, flush (aka Truncate) the nuke_session_info table and you should be good to go.



Please note that none of this is my own work; I've simply taken 2 people's posts on 3 threads and merged them into one.
Goodluck :shock:

That didnt seem to make a difference for me unfortunately. What im trying to do is have all these urls use the same logins/sessions:

http://absreport.com
https://absreport.com
http://www.absreport.com
https://www.absreport.com
http://secure.absreport.com/
https://secure.absreport.com

Any chance in this? I can get it to work fine (http/https) when its the same subdomain, but not when they are different.

EDIT: nothing is different with any of these urls as far as what they point to. They are all the same site.

Woo hoo, got it working, just had to remove the period in front of the domain name. I noticed that there was that difference between the directions provided here and the ones he linked too. Thanks!!

Not sure whether I'm blind, or whether this applies to a previous version of PostNuke (I'm guessing maybe the latter as the default table prefix now seems to be PN rather than nuke)... but I can't find modules>NS-User>tools.php. I've been trying to get sessions working across multiples sites all day and this seems to be my stumbling block.

Can anyone help out a n00b?

edit - to clarify, I have everything else working but the cookies are still set separately for my subdomains. Can anyone tell me where to put the setcookie code? I'm using .764

In case anyone's as big an idiot as I am, I've solved my own 'problem'. Simply a case of ignoring step 2 and instead following step 3 more carefully! i.e. when uncommenting:

$domain = preg_replace('/^[^.]+/','',$host);
ini_set('session.cookie_domain', $domain);

be sure to change $domain to '.yourdomain.com'

Yep, I'm an idiot who can't read simple instructions!
