Cookie Conundrum
 Top

  • I've found that some users, regardless of browser settings, can never log in, getting the famed 'Cookies must be enabled past this point.' error. My admin account and some user accounts are logging in without a hitch. I'm getting ready to poke around my SQL tables, but I'm not sure what value in user entries (or exactly which table) I need to look for. Once I know what value I need to change (preferrably the value I need to change it to), it'd be much appreciated. Permissions on my site are default.

  • If you are talking about the bold red: 'Cookies must be enabled past this point.'

    It is generated by the following define: '_COOKIEHINTFORLOGIN'

    Which appears in /modules/User/lang/eng/global.php and /includes/language/blocks/eng/login.php

    It functions only as a hint that logging in and navigating requires that cookies be enabled in the browser.

    I strongly suspect that something else is causing a problem with logging in, or that some users are seeing the hint and thinking there is a problem but not realizing that it is only a hint and not a sign of a problem.

    In order to lessen the chances of confusion, I have changed it on my site to read: 'Note: If you have difficulty logging in or navigating the site, be sure that cookies are enabled in your browser.'
