Your_Account personal Info and Menu / News disappear

Nuke Soldier Joined: Jan 18, 2004 Posts: 27

Dear all,
not sure if this is the right forum I posted to.

After a registered user has changed his signature via Forum Profile, the personal information in Your_Account will not be displayed anymore and the Your_Account menu disappeared. Means he can not even logout and login again, because there is no button !
Further we noticed that the news messages are also not displayed in that case.

Once the user deleted the relating cookies, he can re-login and everything is fine until the next signature change Wink

We do run PHP Nuke 7.0
I am hunting this bug over many months, but can not get rid of it. It seems to be a cookie refresh/update issue which fails ...
Since the previous installation it had worked, but failed at any day in-between.

Is there any work arround or issue it could be relating to ?
Any comment is highly appreciated, Thanks in advance
Cheers

Not sure if it helps someone, but I made the following addon in file includes/usercp_register.php arround line 502, where the docookie function is used.
It seems to fix my problem, I assume that I do overwrite some variables with other blocks or whatever, no idea so far ... but it works ... Wink

Code:

//
// ARGUS AddOn - cookie problem - start 1
//
$sql = "SELECT user_id, username, user_password, storynum, umode, uorder, thold, noscore, ublockon, theme FROM ".$user_prefix."_users WHERE username='$username' AND user_password='$user_password'";
   $result = $db->sql_query($sql);
   if ($db->sql_numrows($result) == 1) {
      $userinfo = $db->sql_fetchrow($result);
//
// ARGUS AddOn - cookie problem - end 1
//
docookie($userinfo[user_id],$userinfo[username],$userinfo[user_password],$userinfo[storynum],$userinfo[umode],$userinfo[uorder],$userinfo[thold],$userinfo[noscore],$userinfo[ublockon],$userinfo[theme],$userinfo[commentmax]);
//
// ARGUS AddOn - cookie problem - start 2
//
}
//
// ARGUS AddOn - cookie problem - end 2
//

You couldn't help me out this time, but I am with You and always appreciate the fast and smart helps here. thx.
