Modification Name: Multiple Boards - One Login
Author(s): hillbilly1980
Description: Allows more then one board on a server to share the same login.
Demo: none
Download Link: None Instructions / Other Info: 1. Share a common Memember file, you can do this by manually setting the Memeber location to a commmon drive or using symbolic links to the direct location.
2. Change the cookie_name in vars_config.cgi of one of the boards to match the cookie_name of the other. This allows the boards to read eachother's login cookies.
3. Clear the cache on both boards as the cookie_name needs to be reset on many pages.
Problems
This works pretty well, you can login one board and not be required to login to the rest, it does however break the last read light bulbs, the bulbs will only be accurate for the board you logged off on.
Boards must reside on the same server, the nature of cookies requires that only the server that planted the cookie can read it.
