HTML FRAMES & Actual User Status: Offline ERROR

Nuke Soldier Joined: Jul 09, 2005 Posts: 25

Hello everyone,

If you are getting this error, and perhaps you are using frames, the problem is that the frame where phpnuke is located is not creating the necessary cookie to allow your users to login.

SO NO MORE LOWERING THE LEVEL DOWN TO 'LOW' in IE,...

Here is the fix for those who use frames and couldn't find the solution elsewhere :

In your frameset file such as this one

Quote:

I created a redirect file on the bottom frame to redirect the nuke site, instead of loading the nuke site directly.

Here is the code for the redirect file (cookiesetter.html)

Quote:

<!-- to set cookies in using FRAMES in php-nuke. By Anthony Lydick -- >

<script> location.href = 'http://www.yourdomain.com/phpnukepath';
</script>

replace yourdomain.com with your info, and make sure that the cookiesetter is in the same directory and your frameset file.

Pretty dawgarn simple,eh ? Well, I hope that this was helpfull and wasn't already part of some readme file that I overlooked Laughing

Hi,

Well, first I need to ask you if you are using HTML Frames with your site. In other words, if you have a top frame and a bottom frame and the bottom frame is where you have PHP-NUKE,... Like this :

www.infomoron.com

Let me know

www.mash.com.my

looks you are using frames. I just copied this from your page's source code :

so, i'll try to brief you in frames a bit

your site is creating only one frame (a top frame) at this line :

<frame name="MYTOPFRAME" src="http://www.idsign.com.my/~mash/index.php" noresize>

so it seems like your root for phpnuke (where you uploaded phpnuke) is :

http://www.idsign.com.my/~mash/

right ?

at your server's file manager, try looking for a file called index.html (not index.php)

hey toniramos,

alright, so basicly what i need to do now is create a cookiesetter.html file with this code

Code:

<!-- to set cookies in using FRAMES in php-nuke. By Anthony Lydick -- >

<script> location.href = 'http://www.mash.com.my';
</script>

is it right? i did a stealth forwarding for mash.com.my to www.idsign.com.my/~mash, so the location.href i set it as the domain name it's alright?

and also adding this line

Code:

to my index.html, is it correct?

Nuke Soldier Joined: Jul 09, 2005 Posts: 25

nope

your cookiesetter.html should be something like this :

<!-- to set cookies in using FRAMES in php-nuke. By Anthony Lydick -- >

<script> location.href = 'http://www.idsign.com.my/~mash/index.php';
</script>

which is the direct location of your index.php (the file that loads your phpnuke system)

and the frame line should be something like

<frame name="MYTOPFRAME" src="cookiesetter.html" noresize>

this line shouild replace the following line :

<frame name="MYTOPFRAME" src="http://www.idsign.com.my/~mash/index.php" noresize>

which is found in your fowarder I believe.

Give it a try.

If something doesn't make sense, let me know

if you can connect to my chat on my page (tu chat) www.infomoron.com it would be much easier to help you since I still am not sure about this fowarder you have.

also you might want to try not to hide the address your fowarder is going to, becuase that also creates problems

hey toni i'm actually in your chatroom, sent you a PM as well.

and also i can't get my index.html file at my nuke folder, i dont think there's one. oh yea i'm using my host's file manager to look it up.

I am experiencing this issue and I definately am not running frames, here is the source from the home page.

http://di-gaming.com/index.php

<!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.01 Transitional//EN">
<html>
<head>

in php nuke there are many many index files all which = 0 and see nothing called frameset. please fill me in where I should put this cookiesetter html file and which nuke file i should be inserting the code to:

" ISSUE HAS BEEN SOLVED THIS WAY "

It was a simple issue with the DNS Server setting for the domain. Domain was purchased seperate from the hosting and the redirect for the domain was the issue. Was using a redirect instead of changing the DNS addresses, once we changed the DNS addresses the problem went away.

Hope This will help, if you have a domain name seperate from your hosting check your DNS settings.

Im having the same issue with my site.... I have done the location patch, I have also tried the frames patch found above.

But My site is in frames that have been added by my domain name host (UK2.NET), so i cannot edit them as I am a cheep git and havent paid for DNS management (extra £35). So my domain is being redirected to my hosting server, via frames, so the domain address stays in the address bar, take a look.... --> http://www.Ravens-Lair.co.uk

Any Ideas in fixing the login issue?

Ripper613's solution was it for me sort of...I was accessing from a URL that was putting the actual nuked site in a browser frame. If I acess the URL directly I had no problems.

Damn, 'bout time I found the solution Smile

Thanks for the documentatin Very Happy
